Air pollution is Europe's greatest environmental health threat, and despite progress in recent decades to reduce its burden, it was still attributed to hundreds of thousands of premature deaths in 2022. The European Union's Copernicus Sentinel-4 mission, operating on board EUMETSAT's Meteosat Third Generation Sounder 1 (MTG-S1) satellite, has begun delivering its first preliminary images from space, marking a major milestone in Europe's air quality monitoring capacity. The mission's hourly data streams will support authorities in delivering timely air quality forecasts and health warnings to help save lives, improve quality of life, and reduce associated environmental costs and economic damage across the continent. The first images, captured on 8 October 2025 and released to the world today, demonstrate Copernicus Sentinel-4's remarkable capability to track multiple pollutants and trace gases across Europe and surrounding regions. The images reveal nitrogen dioxide hotspots over Italy's Po Valley, elevated ozone levels across the Balkans, Bulgaria, and Greece and sulphur dioxide plumes from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Unlike other satellite sensors measuring air pollution that orbit Earth from pole to pole at a lower altitude, MTG-S1 operates in geostationary orbit, continuously observing the same region - Europe and northern Africa - from a fixed position. From this vantage point, Copernicus Sentinel-4 can scan the same region every hour, providing near-real-time updates on key atmospheric constituents. Copernicus Sentinel-4 is still undergoing commissioning, so these early images represent just a taster of what is to come: once operational, the mission will provide unprecedented hourly views of such pollutants across Europe from geostationary orbit. The hourly capability will enable experts to track how pollution varies throughout the day - such as traffic peaks during rush hour - and observe pollutants like ozone as they form, revealing differences between city centres and suburbs and providing authorities with more precise information to protect public health. Following MTG-S1's successful launch on 1 July, Copernicus Sentinel-4 is now in its commissioning phase, where teams are testing and fine-tuning systems to ensure optimal performance. While these first images show the mission is already working well, the commissioning process ensures that the underpinning data meets the rigorous accuracy and reliability standards essential for operational use. Once commissioning is complete, these critical data streams will enhance existing atmospheric monitoring capabilities with unprecedented hourly coverage of the atmosphere over Europe and surrounding regions from space. Phil Evans, Director-General of EUMETSAT, said: "Exposure to pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, ground-level ozone, and fine particulate matter affects millions of Europeans every day, costing society hundreds of billions of euros annually. Copernicus Sentinel-4 represents a fundamental advance in our ability to monitor these pollutants. These first images demonstrate the mission's transformative potential to save lives and improve health outcomes by feeding into better air quality and climate monitoring across Europe. EUMETSAT is proud to host the Sentinel-4 instrument aboard our MTG-S satellite and to be part of this landmark European collaboration. We now look forward to operating the mission throughout its lifetime, ensuring a continuous flow of critical data to ensure maximum impact." Lieven Bydekerke, EUMETSAT Copernicus Programme Manager, said: "These first data provide an exciting early glimpse of Copernicus Sentinel-4's ability to capture rapid changes in air pollution across an entire continent - tracking how pollutants that are a major cause of respiratory and cardiovascular disease move and evolve throughout the day. Hourly observations of these hazardous pollutants over the whole of Europe have never been possible before. As we work ...

Der Westschweizer Unternehmer Marcel Cellier hat als erster Westeuropäer die osteuropäische Volksmusik hinter dem Eisernen Vorhang aufgenommen und im Westen hörbar gemacht: durch Konzerte, Schallplattenproduktionen und am Radio. Auf einer Reise hinter den Eisernen Vorhang 1950, entdeckten der Geschäftsmann Marcel Cellier und seine Frau Catherine durch Zufall die bis dahin im Westen völlig unbekannte Volksmusik des Balkans. Fasziniert durch diese exotischen Klänge, beschloss er sie aufzunehmen und über das Radio im Westen zu verbreiten. Berühmt wurde er vor allem durch seine Förderung des rumänischen Panflötenspielers Gheorghe Zamfir und durch die Schallplatten «Le mystère des voix bulgares» mit bulgarischen Frauenchören, für die er 1990 sogar einen Grammy Award bekam. Dieses Jahr würde Marcel Cellier seinen 100. Geburtstag feiern. Wir beleuchten sein Leben und Wirken in einer Hommage.

In 2020, Fort Russ News was hit by a major cyber-attack, so the website has been liquidated, but my articles (nearly 1,500 of them are still available on the Web Archives). I'm also active on social networks (particularly Telegram and Facebook), where I'm an administrator of various pages and groups dealing with the aforementioned topics. One such page that was recently deleted (thanks Zuck!) had over 150,000 followers, but we've since moved to Telegram, so we're slowly working toward rebuilding that following. Many other media have republished my work, the most prominent of which are Global Research, South Front, Veterans Today's Foreign Policy, as well as respected Serbian publications such as Politika.

It is easy to believe that manners are empty gestures, little more than social artifice or practiced etiquette whose sole purpose is to project civility and facilitate social interaction. But if we look more closely, they can tell us much more than we might first suppose, revealing what conventional accounts of state, economy, and religion often ignore. With Empire of Manners: Ottoman Sociability and War-Making in the Long Eighteenth Century (Stanford UP, 2025), Dr. James Grehan offers a panoramic view of manners and sociability across the eighteenth-century Ottoman Empire, from the Balkans to the Middle East to North Africa. Studying chronicles, biographical dictionaries, and travel accounts, he throws new light on the inner dynamics of Ottoman society during a transitional period in Ottoman history which has too often been misunderstood. Empire of Manners proposes a new way of thinking about the history of manners, arguing that violence and war-making, as much as civility and etiquette, have a central role in shaping them. The eighteenth century proved to be a turning point in this paradoxical relationship between violence and manners as war-making turned into a substantially more complex and costly enterprise, leaving a deeper and wider social footprint. The interplay between violence and manners, an unlikely couple, unexpectedly narrates the Ottoman path to the modern age. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

What unites Rudy Giuliani and Hunter Biden? According to the New York Times reporter Kenneth Vogel, they are both on the payroll of corrupt foreign interests. In his new book, Devils' Advocates, Vogel reveals the hidden story of Giuliani, Biden and the other Washington insiders who sold access to American foreign policy. From the Balkans to Brazil, shadowy foreign players have discovered that the path to influencing Washington runs through well-connected Americans willing to take their money. Vogel exposes how shadowy figures like lobbyist Robert Stryk—who has openly admitted that he'd work for Kim Jong-un or the Taliban if they paid—have turned foreign influence into a lucrative industry. The Trump family's multi-billion-dollar cryptocurrency ventures and Hunter Biden's Romanian land deals represent the same often questionably legal phenomenon: foreign interests paying for perceived access to power. As enforcement weakens and the regulatory regime loosens, this shadow diplomacy system is shaping U.S. foreign policy in ways that rarely receive scrutiny, despite laws designed to ensure transparency. From Ukraine and the Republic of Srpska to Qatar and Saudi Arabia, Washington insiders are shaping US foreign policy in ways that benefit corrupt foreign interests rather than the American people. 1. Foreign Influence Is Bipartisan The corruption isn't limited to one party. Hunter Biden and Rudy Giuliani both profited from foreign interests seeking access to American power, proving this is a systemic problem that transcends partisan politics.2. Trump's Transactional Approach Created More Access Points Trump's openly transactional style and willingness to upend traditional diplomatic channels opened unprecedented opportunities for foreign interests to buy influence through his family's cryptocurrency ventures and close associates—potentially on a scale never seen before.3. The Scandal Is What's Legal Most of this activity doesn't violate laws—that's the problem. As long as lobbyists register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, they can work for almost anyone. The system's weaknesses allow personally enriching behavior that contradicts American ideals about democracy and human rights.4. Small Countries, Big Money, Global Implications Even minor players like the Republic of Srpska and Albania spend millions on Washington lobbyists. Their goals aren't just local—they're reshaping the world order, challenging NATO, international treaties, and aligning U.S. policy with interests favorable to Russia and China.5. Enforcement Is Weakening When It Should Strengthen At the very moment foreign interests are pouring more money into influence campaigns, enforcement is going in the opposite direction. Attorney General Pam Bondi—herself a former foreign lobbyist for Qatar—has moved to decriminalize enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, the primary tool for regulating foreign lobbying.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Irgendwo im Mittelland. Kanton Bern zum Beispiel. Eine Ortschaft, nicht mehr ganz von gestern, aber wenig bereit für morgen. Ein Quartier feiert das jährliche Sommerfest. Man freut sich aufs gemeinsame Hocken, Grillieren, Palavern. Doch nicht alle sind willkommen. Und einer hat seine Flinte geladen. Wer das Hörspiel am Radio hören will: Freitag, 17.10.2025, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 1 Der Luzerner Autor Peter Weingartner erzählt in seinem Hörspiel von einem landestypischen Quartier. In einer Art von Wimmelbuch-Dramaturgie mit vielen kurzen Szenen lässt er die Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner zu Wort kommen. Sie befinden sich überwiegend in der Endphase ihres Erwerbslebens. Gemeinsam haben sie die Geburt ihrer Kinder erlebt, die inzwischen ausgezogen sind. Im Dorf zieht unübersehbar die globalisierte Zukunft ein mit Menschen aus dem Balkan und minderjährigen Flüchtlingen. Das könnte eine Chance sein für Veränderung. Aber man verharrt lieber in der Stagnation, verteidigt das prekäre Heute und bewirtschaftet, der Tradition der Réduit-Schweiz folgend, hartnäckig und ausdauernd die eigenen Ängste und Privilegien. Das alljährliche Quartierfest bietet für diese Mentalität die passende Bühne. Oder wie es Gabriel Vetter einmal in einem Facebook-Post formulierte: «Schweizer schleichen irgendwie immer so rum. Wie so unsichere Iltisse in Karohemden, gut gefüttert, passiv-aggressiv rastlos; stets irgendwo zwischen Nahrungssuche und Angriffskrieg.» Dieses Hörspiel schaffte es 2018 auf den dritten Platz des Prix Europa in der Kategorie Best European Radio Fiction of the Year. ____________________ Mit: Manuela Biedermann, Esther Gemsch, Ruth Schwegler (Quartierbewohnerinnen), Philippe Nauer, Michael Neuenschwander, Ernst Sigrist (Quartierbewohner), Andreas Matti (OK-Präsident), Rahel Hubacher (Anna Raeber), Dashmir Ristemi (Petrit Arifi), Najeebulla Alidjani (Asylsuchender), Alexander Muheim (Wirt), Jonathan Loosli, Marie Omlin (Reto und Isabelle Hochstrasser), Jörg Stoller (Pfarrer), Matthias Fankhauser (Lehrer), Dieter Stoll (Arzt) sowie Daniel Rothenbühler als Meinrad und Anja Schärer als Erzählerin.

Welcome to Unpacked, Five Questions, a podcast that takes you behind the scenes of one great travel story. In this episode, host Katherine LaGrave sits down with photographer Kari Medig, who has spent 15 years traveling the world documenting ski culture—from Austria's iconic Hahnenkamm downhill to landlocked Lesotho. But one region has captivated him above all others: the Balkans. Kari shares his journey through Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo, revealing why these mountains—many higher than the Swiss Alps—offer something beyond world-class skiing. He discusses the unbelievable hospitality that keeps bringing him back, his unique analog photography approach using a Hasselblad film camera, and why he seeks out parking lot encounters as much as pristine powder. From a chance morning photo of a ski rental owner in her bathrobe to reconnecting with a Bulgarian café owner a decade later, Kari's stories illuminate how skiing becomes a lens for experiencing culture in its most authentic form. On this episode you'll learn: Why the Balkans' mountains are higher than many expect—and vastly underdeveloped for skiing How "Midwest Kind" isn't the only form of extraordinary hospitality—the Balkans surprised Kari with their warmth Why Kari shot his Balkan trips on film with a single Hasselblad camera instead of modern digital equipment How parking lots and ski rental shops become unexpected locations for the most meaningful photographs What makes skiing a unique way to participate in—not just observe—a culture Don't miss these moments: [02:00] Kari's first trip to Bulgaria in 2004 and his amazement at the scope of the mountains [03:00] The café owner who Kari reconnected with a decade later [05:00] Why Kari uses a Hasselblad film camera for his nostalgic, muted aesthetic [08:00] The ski hill in Bulgaria and why parking lots are Kari's favorite shooting locations [10:00] The last-morning photo of a ski rental owner in her bathrobe that captured the entire trip [12:00] Why people always ask Kari—who grew up skiing in Canada—"Why are you here?

Neoborn Caveman reflects on history's lessons to prevent civil war, blending satire with calls for humanity's preservation amid rising divisions. NC recounts Balkan atrocities under the Ustashas, from Prebilovci school massacres to Jasenovac horrors, highlighting generalizations' dangers and media distortions that fuel enmity. He critiques the Cloward-Piven strategy's overload tactics in modern immigration and crises, Ottoman legacies in Yugoslavia's fractures, Sunni-Shia Muslim divides and how they affect Western countries through immigration, and First Nations' overlooked slave-owning past, urging unity over rage to counter globalist techno-feudal cages.Music guests: InoxidablesKey TakeawaysHistory reveals patterns to avoid repeating civil wars and massacres.Generalizations breed hatred and overlook good people in every group.Media portrays events to manipulate perceptions and sow division.Governments and extremists exploit crises for control and collapse.Unity across differences builds stronger communities than walls or fences.Religious and ethnic labels mask shared humanity and common enemies.Atrocities like in Jasenovac show evil's scale when unchecked by reason.Immigration without checks risks importing unresolved conflicts.Past empires' conquests echo in today's border and identity struggles.Preserving stories counters falsified narratives and eternal enmities.Techno-feudalism threatens sovereignty more than open dialogue.Pro-humanity choices prioritize wholeness over emotional rage.Sound Bites"Never generalize.

Schon mit der Teilung Roms in Ost und West geriet der Balkanraum in eine Grenzlage. Im Osmanischen Reich radikalisiert sich das.

Why does nationalism look less like a mistake and more like a structural feature of modern capitalism? In this provocative and deeply researched episode, Professor Zlatko Hadžidedić explains why nationalism often functions as the social glue that stabilizes capitalism's contradictions and why the current phase of hyper-capitalism risks producing more authoritarian nationalisms over the next decades. Using Bosnia (the Lisbon maps and Dayton aftermath), the Balkans, and contemporary flashpoints as case studies, Zlatko connects theory to concrete history: how imperial legacies, external power strategies, and the logic of the military-industrial complex help produce recurring conflict. He also shows how consumer tech, information flows, and media narratives help pacify populations while power consolidates.   He explains: ⬛ Why nationalism can be a structural necessity for capitalism ⬛ How “hyper-capitalism” creates conditions for authoritarian nationalism ⬛ The Lisbon maps & Bosnia case study — why partition was engineered and what it means today ⬛ How information, phones and consumer culture shape political consent ⬛ Why great-power strategies sometimes manufacture zones of instability ⬛ What citizens and leaders can do to cultivate nuance, media literacy, and democratic resilience   ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction: Capitalism, Nationhood & the Big Question 03:10 - Thesis: “No Capitalism Without Nationalism” — the argument explained 08:45 - The Lisbon maps & Bosnia: how partition was made possible 13:30 - From Yugoslavia to the Balkans: external influence and local politics 18:20 - Imperial legacies, Mackinder & geopolitical strategy 22:45 - Hyper-capitalism defined: inequality, pacification, and authoritarian pressures 27:50 - Phones, streaming & control: the tech-consumer pact 32:40 - Gaza, Ukraine & manufactured instability — strategic utility of conflict 37:55 - Predictions: the next 20–30 years of nationalism and power 42:10 - Practical takeaways: media literacy, nuance, and democratic repair 46:00 - Closing reflections & recommended reading   This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in political economy, history, geopolitics, and media, especially listeners who want frameworks that connect the dots between capitalism, nationalism, and contemporary conflict.

Voilà bientôt un an que la Serbie est secouée par un important mouvement de protestation contre la corruption. Depuis la catastrophe de la gare tout juste rénovée de Novi Sad, qui a fait 16 morts le 1er novembre 2024, le régime autoritaire d'Aleksandar Vucic est dénoncé par des manifestations et des blocages de rues. Alors que le président, notoirement proche de la Russie, refuse toujours d'organiser des élections anticipées, les étudiants sont à la pointe de ce mouvement résolument pacifique et démocratique. Mais depuis plusieurs semaines, ils font face à une répression de plus en plus violente. Comme des milliers de jeunes Serbes, Dusan Svetkovic a passé l'été à bloquer les rues de Belgrade pour exiger des élections anticipées. Mais le 14 août dernier, lors d'un rassemblement près de la place Slavija, le destin de cet étudiant en physique bascule. « Je me tenais tranquillement près de la fontaine quand une voiture sans plaque est arrivée. Des hommes en civil en sont sortis, et l'un d'entre eux s'est précipité vers moi et m'a violemment jeté au sol. Quatre ou cinq autres hommes sont arrivés, et ils ont commencé à me frapper et à me donner des coups de poing au visage. Ils m'ont frappé la tête contre le sol, et l'un d'entre eux m'a donné des coups de pied avec ses bottes, alors que j'avais la tête sur le goudron », se souvient-il. Embarqué par les hommes de cette unité spéciale, Dusan affirme avoir été battu et menacé de mort dans un garage situé sous le siège du gouvernement, avant d'être relâché trois heures plus tard. Le lendemain, à quelques centaines de mètres de là, Alexandra Nikolic tombe à terre lors d'une charge policière. Elle reçoit un coup de matraque sur le crâne du policier. « Vu comment la police s'est comportée pendant ces dix derniers mois de contestation, je ne m'attendais à rien de bon de leur part. Mais je n'imaginais même pas qu'ils nous frappent par derrière, alors que nous étions deux femmes tombées au sol », explique l'étudiante en droit, montrant les photos de son visage ensanglanté. Elle dénonce la dérive autoritaire du régime du président Aleksandar Vucic : « La justice, la violence, les médias, les insultes... Les autorités utilisent tous les moyens dont elles disposent pour réprimer leurs citoyens. Personnellement, je considère que cela relève d'un type de fascisme. Avec cette philosophie du "où vous êtes avec nous, où vous êtes contre nous", pour moi, il est clair que l'État emploie des méthodes fascistes. » Usage illégal de la force, séquestration dans des lieux non officiels, absence d'avocats... Les méthodes de répression employées par le pouvoir sont aujourd'hui documentées par plusieurs ONG. Les étudiants et les opposants dénoncent notamment la mainmise du SNS, le parti présidentiel, sur l'appareil judiciaire. Des pratiques bien éloignées des valeurs de l'Union européenne, à laquelle la Serbie est toujours officiellement candidate. Alors que le président Vucic se montre inflexible, des élections pourraient avoir lieu en avril 2026. En attendant, les étudiants se préparent et envisagent de présenter leur propre liste lors de ces législatives. Espérant ainsi ouvrir des premières brèches dans un système jusque-là verrouillé.

In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Rebecca Christie speaks about migration trends in the Western Balkans with Bruegel's Nina Vujanovic and Nina Ruer, as well as Professor Herbert Brücker from Berlin's Humboldt University in Germany, Since 2015, workers have been heading to Germany from Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Kosovo, aided by a regulation specific to that region. How have those workers assimilated? What has been the effect on the countries they leave behind? Can better policy address youth unemployment and skills shortages? The discussion tackles the data, the outlook and the political context for Germany, the Western Balkan countries and the EU accession process.  Relevant research: Ruer, N. and N. Vujanović (2025) ‘Migration flows from the Western Balkans to Germany: implications and recommendations', Working Paper 19/2025, Bruegel Ruer, N. and N.

To seek asylum, people often have to cross borders undocumented, embarking on perilous trajectories. Due to the war in Afghanistan, the rule of the Taliban, and severe human rights violations, over the past decades thousands of people have risked their lives to seek safety. By what means do they make these journeys, especially when they lack money and passports?Over the course of three years, Hannah Pool accompanied a group of Afghan friends and families as they attempted "The Game" - Game zadan: the route to Europe to seek asylum. The resulting ethnography follows them across their entire trajectories: through Iran, Turkey, Greece, and along the so-called Balkan route. In each place, Pool details the economic interactions and social relationships essential for acquiring, saving, borrowing, spending, and exchanging money to facilitate their undocumented migration routes.The Game: The Economy of Undocumented Migration from Afghanistan to Europe (Oxford UP, 2025) bridges economic sociology and migration studies to illustrate how migrants decide to trust people to facilitate their movement along these routes, focusing particularly on debt, special monies, bribes, donations, and gift-giving. Throughout the migration trajectory, relationships with family, fellow migrants, smugglers, humanitarian actors, and border control officials shape and are shaped by access to financial resources.Ultimately, the book highlights the dangers in undocumented border-crossing and delves into the core of what it means to flee: Who has the means to escape dangerous conditions to seek asylum?

While serving in the US Congress, Tom served on the Foreign Affairs Committee and Homeland Security Committee. An expert on Iran and the Middle East, Tom Garrett's analysis and insights are enlightening as America's foreign policy and national security concerns are focused on a strategic region adversely impacted by Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism. Key Topics: The state of America's economy and the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act focused on cutting taxes for everyday and hardworking Americans, including no tax on tips and overtime, no tax on social security, and savings for American families.

President Trump's speech at the United Nations and the truth that while Western nations spend hundreds of billion of taxpayer dollars on the efforts to address climate change while China continues to be the world's number polluter. He called it "a conjob." President Trump stated that renewable energy, along with migration, was destroying Western countries and placing nations in debt and added greater security challenges. Published report: _President Trump attacked global immigration and efforts to fight climate change during an address to the United Nations, claiming they were among the world's top threats to Western civilization. In an hour-long speech filled with grievances about ongoing wars, windmills and malfunctioning escalators, it was Trump's attacks against what he called a “double-tailed monster” that rang loudest in the ornate General Assembly room. “Immigration and the high cost of so-called green, renewable energy is destroying a large part of the free world and a large part of our planet,” he said. “Countries that cherish freedom are fading fast because of their policies on these two subjects. Both immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe.” “I'm telling you that if you don't get away from the ‘green energy' scam, your country is going to fail. If you don't stop people that you've never seen before that you have nothing in common with, your country is going to fail.” _ President Donald Trump, speech delivered at the United Nations, September 23, 2025 America's eyes are focused on state-wide elections in New Jersey and Virginia, with governors' races and the legislatures which will determine key policies including economic and social issues.

Psychedelic tour de Balkan villages and Mediterranean towns mixed with techno and trance elements. As music digging can become similar to tourism, especially if you have time to do it for days in a row, you become hypnotized by different cultures and surprises you hear along the way. That's where the inspiration came from, to do this tourism mix, starting at 4 PM in a Romanian village. Matej Rusmir was born in Belgrade, Serbia, in 2000, where he finished music school for classical guitar. Soon after, Matej started exploring audio production. Later, in 2016, as he began his career in the underground scene, Matej quickly gained recognition for his distinctive style, blending tribal techno with downtempo old-school trance and ethnic elements. His production, live and DJ sets are filled with hypnotic and tribal rhythms and motifs that draw the audience's focus entirely to the sound.

Episode #405: “Myanmar deserves better,” reflects Olle Thorell, a Swedish Member of Parliament whose nearly two-decade commitment to the nation is both political and personal. Elected to the Riksdag in 2006, Thorell's focus on Asian affairs quickly centered on Myanmar. He learned from dedicated activists and, in 2011, had a clandestine meeting with Aung San Suu Kyi, a moment he recalls as “fantastic;” albeit, goes on to acknowledge that this occurred before what her later fall from grace in international relations. Part of Thorell's vision as a member of the Swedish Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee is for Sweden to fill the global leadership vacuum, challenge the junta's legitimacy, and help create a democratic, federal Myanmar. Thorell's early life inspired his resolve. A working-class upbringing instilled a sense of collective responsibility. His formative teenage years spent in apartheid-era South Africa cemented a lifelong dedication to human rights, teaching him firsthand the kind of society created when prejudice and racism is given free reign. Later, as a Swedish language teacher to Balkan refugees, he honed diplomatic skills, witnessing “what happens when a country falls apart, when there is a division among neighbors and friends.” During Myanmar's democratic opening (2015-2020), he was inspired by citizens printing newspapers by hand but disturbed by child labor in textile factories. These contrasts solidified his belief in the necessity of international solidarity. Thorell is proud of Sweden's historic role in human rights, grounded in the Social Democratic principle of global solidarity, in contrast to rising nationalism. Despite no direct ties, he affirms that Myanmar must remain a focus for Sweden, seen as “the last bastion of military rule where we feel we need to help out.” While lamenting a global shift towards narrow self-interest and nationalism, Thorell remains optimistic. “Liberal values and values of democracy and human rights are impossible to quench in the long run,” he says in closing.

La famille Trump rêve de développer ses innombrables projets immobiliers dans les Balkans. Sa fille Ivanka et son mari Jared Kushner ont ainsi de grandes ambitions en Albanie.

Did one bullet in Sarajevo truly spark a century of chaos, or was it part of a larger web of conspiracy and intrigue? In this insightful episode of The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show, we take a critical examination of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and its ripple effects on history. This deep dive explores how this pivotal moment in 1914 ignited World War I, toppled empires, and reshaped global geopolitics—ultimately setting the stage for modern conflicts.Join me, Jeremy Ryan Slate, host, entrepreneur, and history enthusiast, as we unravel the layers of this historic event. Drawing from credible sources like Britannica, History.com, and the Imperial War Museum, we'll analyze everything from nationalist tensions in the Balkans to fragile alliances and secret societies like the Black Hand.

In this Tough Girl EXTRA episode, we catch up with Tiphaine Muller, the intrepid French adventurer who continues to push her boundaries through long-distance cycling and remote, high-altitude trekking. Now 31 and based in Chamonix, France, Tiphaine has spent the last decade traveling the world by bike, exploring five continents. Her latest journey saw her pedaling from the Alps to the Himalayas before tackling one of the toughest and most remote treks on earth: The Great Himalaya Trail (GHT) in Nepal. This conversation picks up from where we left off in her first Tough Girl Podcast interview (November 2021) — where she shared her early adventures and passion for slow travel. This time, we dive deep into her 2024 journey:  Cycling from France to Nepal through the Balkans, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and the Himalayas — all while managing extreme heat, border crossings, and a strict budget of €10/day.  Hiking the Great Himalaya Trail solo (West to East), over 80 days, through towering 5,000m+ passes, remote villages, and ever-changing terrain — while battling physical exhaustion, route-finding issues, and high-altitude nutrition struggles. Tiphaine candidly shares: The logistics and challenges of arranging permits for restricted zones without a guide Her coping strategies for trekking alone in high mountains Cultural highlights from cycling through Turkey and Iran How she funds her travels and balances life back home as a social worker Her future goals — including film-making and another epic cycle across South America This episode is a deep, honest reflection on the highs and lows of big adventures and what it takes — mentally, physically, and emotionally — to keep moving forward when things don't go to plan.  Don't miss this inspiring update from a woman who truly lives the spirit of adventure, one pedal stroke and step at a time.  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Der Balkan als Ort von Gewalt, Chaos und Irrationalität. Woher kommt dieses Bild? Finden wir es raus – in "Das Pulverfass Balkan".

The Celts invaded Greece in 280-279 BC, an entirely unforeseen breakthrough of a nearly unknown people into the mainstream of the Hellenistic world. Tens of thousands of Celts poured through the passes of the Balkans, killed a Macedonian king in battle, and ravaged huge swathes of the heart of the Greek world.

Wir springen in dieser Folge wieder mal an den Bosporus, und beschäftigen uns mit einer legendären Leibgarde am byzantinischen Hof. Ursprünglich gespeist aus skandinavischen Kriegern, war die Warägergarde aber vor allem auch Auffangbecken für jene, die aus ihrer alten Heimat flüchten mussten. Wir sprechen darüber, welche Aufgaben diese Einheit hatte, wie sich ihre Zusammensetzung über die Jahrhunderte veränderte und wie sie schließlich verschwand. // Erwähnte Folgen - GAG514: Anna Komnene – Prinzessin, Intellektuelle und Historikerin – https://gadg.fm/514 - GAG198: Olga von Kiew oder Mit den Spatzen kam der Tod – https://gadg.fm/198 - GAG414: Ibn Fadlān und die Reise zur Wolga – https://gadg.fm/414 - GAG211: Griechisches Feuer – https://gadg.fm/211 - GAG63: Konstantin und die Janitscharen – https://gadg.fm/63 - GAG191: Aethelfled - Warrior Queen of Mercia – https://gadg.fm/191 // Literatur - Sigfüs Blöndal; Benedikt S.

We're most familiar with the Celts of the west, the people who eventually fought Julius Caesar in Gaul and left their languages along the Atlantic fringe. Yet thanks to mass migrations to the east, the Celtic world also extended all the way to the Black Sea. Today, we'll try to understand the world these Celtic migrants found in the Balkans, full of barely remembered ancient peoples who lived full, rich, compelling lives.Patrick's book is now available!

Dive into this epic conversation on the Mike Drop Podcast with Green Beret legend Mark Giaconia. A 20-year Army veteran who traded infantry boots for Special Forces grit, Mark opens up about his raw reaction to 9/11—burning with jealousy as Fifth Group charged into Afghanistan, only to carve his own pinnacle in Iraq's brutal ops. But before the GWOT glory, he takes us back to the forgotten chaos of Bosnia in the late '90s, where peacekeeping turned into high-stakes intel gathering: embedding in remote villages, renting houses amid fresh war scars, and dodging tense standoffs with Serbian cops who grabbed their weapons at the sight of an American. From concealed pistols and civilian rides to wild encounters—like spotting a Beirut bombing fugitive in a roadside eatery or monitoring Russian convoys on the brink of World War III—Mark's stories pulse with the raw edge of undercover life in a powder keg. We geek out on metal shredding (check Patreon for the deep dive), philosophy from Socrates to Nietzsche, and his time-travel wish to homestead in colonial Connecticut. Whether it's surviving Ranger School's 200+ day grind, losing 40 pounds in the suck, or bonding with locals over slivovitz amid genocide echoes, this episode hooks you with unfiltered warrior wisdom, historical twists, and the unexamined life's brutal truths. Don't miss Mark's insights on human nature, founding principles, and why the Balkans' hospitality hides a world of shadows—perfect fuel for any Mike Drop fan craving real talk from the front lines.
