AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports Ukrainian drones batter Russian oil facilities and set more oil tankers ablaze.

The wild weather has jumped the Cook Strait with a large swathe of the North Island in for a drenching. Orange heavy rain warnings are in place for Wairarapa and the eastern hills of Wellington, as well as a number of other eastern areas of the North Island. Reporter Mary Argue spoke to Lisa Owen from Martinborough.

Heavy rain and powerful winds brought on by Typhoon Maysak continued to batter large parts of China on Tuesday as a super typhoon, Bavi, moved toward southeastern China and is expected to make landfall over the weekend, prompting authorities to upgrade alerts and dispatch emergency aid.周二，台风美莎克带来的强降雨与大风持续侵袭我国大片区域；与此同时，超强台风巴威正向我国东南沿海移动，预计周末登陆，各地政府随即提升预警等级、调拨应急救援物资。Meteorologists said on Tuesday morning that Maysak, which made landfall in the southern island province of Hainan on Friday, would continue to sweep across large parts of southern and eastern China, with rainfall of up to 260 millimeters forecast in parts of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.气象专家周二上午表示，上周五登陆海南的台风美莎克将继续横扫我国华南、华东多地，广西壮族自治区局部地区预计降雨量最高可达260毫米。The heavy rainfall in Guangxi — where four flood-related deaths were reported as of Tuesday morning — is expected to weaken on Wednesday.截至周二上午，广西已有四人因洪涝遇难，当地强降雨预计周三逐步减弱。"Thunderstorms and strong winds reaching force 10 are also forecast in parts of Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, with gusts of up to force 13 and the possibility of tornadoes," the National Meteorological Center said as it renewed an orange alert for heavy rain and a yellow alert for severe convective weather on Tuesday morning.国家气象中心周二上午持续发布暴雨橙色预警、强对流天气黄色预警：安徽、江苏部分地区将出现雷暴与10级大风，阵风可达13级，局部或有龙卷风。China is also bracing for the approach of Super Typhoon Bavi, which has a maximum sustained wind speed of 55 meters per second near its center. The storm is expected to reach the waters off southeastern China around Friday before making landfall in the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces over the weekend, bringing heavy rainfall to large parts of eastern, central and northern China.我国同时严阵以待超强台风巴威，其中心附近最大持续风速达55米每秒。该台风预计周五前后抵达我国东南近海，周末登陆浙闽沿海，将给华东、华中、华北大范围地区带去强降雨。The Ministry of Water Resources said that between Monday and Tuesday afternoon, water levels in 62 rivers across the country had exceeded warning levels, with most of the affected rivers located in southern China.水利部通报，周一至周二下午，全国62条河流水位超警戒，受灾河流多集中在华南地区。On Monday, the ministry upgraded Guangxi's flood-control emergency response from Level III to Level II, the second highest in China's four-tier system.周一，水利部将广西防汛应急响应由三级提升至二级，二级为我国四级应急体系中的第二高等级。The Ministry of Emergency Management, on the same day, raised the national geological disaster emergency response for Guangxi from Level IV to Level III.同日，应急管理部将广西地质灾害国家应急响应由四级提升至三级。The National Development and Reform Commission said on Monday that it had allocated 100 million yuan ($13.8 million) to support post-disaster recovery in the region. The funds are geared toward the restoration of damaged transportation and water infrastructure, as well as public service facilities, including schools and hospitals.国家发改委周一表示，已拨付1亿元专项资金用于当地灾后重建，资金将用于修复损毁交通、水利设施，以及学校、医院等公共服务配套。Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Emergency Management allocated 160 million yuan to support flood relief and geological disaster response efforts in Guangxi and the provinces of Hunan, Liaoning, Jilin, Anhui and Shandong.与此同时，财政部、应急管理部下达1.6亿元资金，用于广西、湖南、辽宁、吉林、安徽、山东等地防汛救灾与地质灾害防治工作。Central government authorities have also dispatched 150,000 relief items, including tents, folding beds, quilts, summer clothing and family emergency kits, to support the evacuation, relocation and basic living needs of affected residents.中央有关部门调拨15万件救灾物资，含帐篷、折叠床、被褥、夏装、家庭应急包等，保障受灾群众转移安置与基本生活所需。The Red Cross Society of China said on Tuesday that it plans to dispatch 5,000 emergency family kits containing daily necessities to aid displaced households in Hengzhou, Guangxi.中国红十字会周二表示，计划调拨5000份内含生活用品的家庭应急包，支援广西横州市受灾转移群众。batter /ˈbætə(r)/连续猛击；重创meteorologist /ˌmiːtiəˈrɒlədʒɪst/气象学家gust /ɡʌst/一阵狂风，阵风allocate /ˈæləkeɪt/划拨，分配（资金、物资）infrastructure /ˈɪnfrəstrʌktʃə(r)/基础设施evacuation /ɪˌvækjuˈeɪʃn/疏散，撤离

AP correspondent Samya Kullab reports on recent Russian attacks in Ukraine.

Recording at the butt ass of midnight. Ryan's catching a flight in a few hours. Joyhdae's on Cutwater. And somehow this is one of the most substantive episodes we've done.We covered a LOT. A sister who bit the hand that was funding her honeymoon and got exactly what she deserved. YG dropped a six-minute song called "Tiffany" that split the internet clean in half -- and we actually sat with why the framing matters and not just whether it "slaps." A JPMorgan executive lost her six-figure job over a Knicks parade trash can (and brought it home on the subway, juices and all). Nine-year-old Young Roddo is going viral -- but the conversation shifted when his second song dropped and it wasn't about school anymore. And Jay-Z celebrated 30 years of Reasonable Doubt like only Jay-Z can: free Brooklyn pop-ups, a Yankee Stadium takeover, fireworks over the Hudson, and a limited library card that has Joyhdae considering going to Brooklyn willingly.Oh, and Beyonce dropped a Cecred vlog that had us in our feelings -- and low-key reminded everyone why you don't come for the Carters.⸻Segment BreakdownAITA: The Honeymoon That Got RescindedShe paid the "practice child" tax. Her sister disrespected her at every turn, assumed the money was guaranteed, and found out the hard way that Virgos have a latch on that switch. The $5,000 went bye bye. And Joyhdae had words for the parents too.YG "Tiffany" -- The Song Nobody's Ready to Talk About RightSix minutes. A trans woman. A man named Chris. And a conversation that the internet is having loudly and mostly badly. Ryan and Joyhdae don't duck it -- they go into the real question: what does it mean when the framing of a story is the harm, even if the ending isn't?The JPMorgan Trash Can ChroniclesAngie Baez. 40 years old. Executive Director. Knicks gear. One commemorative trash can. A subway ride home. And a termination letter. We understand the energy. We do not understand the decision-making.Young Roddo and the Age-Appropriate Music ConversationHe's nine. He's from Chicago. Benny Blanco and Brent Faiyaz are in his comments. And Ryan and Joyhdae have thoughts about what happens when the internet catches a child and the parents let it run. Plus: why don't kids have options anymore?Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt at 30 -- Your Fave Could NeverFree pop-ups in Dumbo. Archival footage. The actual Lexus from the Dead Presidents video. A Brooklyn library card. Three sold-out nights at Yankee Stadium. Fireworks over the Hudson. And not a single new album in sight. We need y'all to study this.The Blueprint: Beyonce, Blue Ivy, and Eight Years of LocsJay grew his hair out because his five-year-old told him she didn't feel confident about hers. Eight years later, Blue's hair is down her back and her passport is stamped. Beyonce filmed the whole loc removal for Cecred and casually ended the conversation about that man's hair. Nicki Minaj is somewhere quiet.⸻Drop it in the comments:If you've ever questioned your taste in music, lost a job over a moment of chaos, or just needed someone to explain why Jay-Z is built different -- this one's for you.Drop a comment:Was YG's "Tiffany" brave storytelling or harmful framing? Should Young Roddo's parents pump the brakes? And do you agree that your fave could never?Subscribe and turn on notifications -- you don't want to miss what's coming next.New episodes weekly.⸻Connect With Us:Email: Virgoseasonshow@gmail.comWebsite: Virgoseasonshow.comYouTube, TikTok & Instagram: @VirgoSeasonShowRyan: @OhBlackRyanJoyhdae: @JoyhdaeSubscribe, leave a review, & hit the bell to turn on notifications.  ⸻We're grateful for your continued support.  We couldn't do it without you.  This show is a labor of love.  We thank you!

In this episode, I sit down with Justin Ebert, hitting coach and recruiting coordinator at Greensboro College, to talk about what it really takes to develop as a hitter at the college level and what high school players and families should be doing right now to prepare.Justin shares how his background in psychology shapes the way he communicates with hitters, why mental resilience matters just as much as mechanics, and how he builds individualized routines that set guys up for success from day one.We also get into the recruiting side of things, how Greensboro evaluates players, what intangibles they look for beyond tools and stats, and how the transfer portal has changed the landscape for high school showcases.This conversation is especially valuable for high school players and families who want to understand what college coaches are actually looking for and how development, attitude, and fit can matter more than rankings or division level.Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro 0:53 Justin's origin story and path from player to coach 3:46 Why psychology changed how Justin coaches and communicates 4:45 How he helps hitters manage failure and stay mentally even 6:10 The biggest gap for incoming freshmen, building a routine 7:31 How Justin builds individual drill routines for each hitter 8:30 Tee work and underhand toss philosophy at Greensboro 9:55 Where Justin learned his hitting philosophy and who influenced him 11:13 Using visual cues instead of mechanical adjustments 11:48 Batter's box positioning and two-strike approach 14:38 Justin's experience playing travel baseball with the Canes 16:31 What Justin learned coaching travel ball with Team Elite and the Canes 18:34 How the recruiting landscape has changed since he played 19:46 Players who surprised him during the recruiting process 21:10 How the transfer portal has changed showcase baseball 21:17 When Greensboro starts recruiting and how they build their classes 25:37 The type of player and person Greensboro looks for 26:58 Why Greensboro College baseball is a family and what makes it different 29:03 Life in Greensboro, the city, campus, and culture 30:16 Best local food spots in Greensboro 32:10 Campus life, housing, and living situation for players 33:46 Facilities and why coaching matters more than resources 35:27 What Justin will do differently in his second year as hitting coachFollow Greensboro Baseball: Twitter/X: @GCPrideBaseball Instagram: @GreensboroCollegeBaseball TikTok: @GCBaseballCheck Out Patrick's Stuff:•

Photo by Gabriel Meinert on Unsplash Published 22 June 2026 e558 with Michael M and Andy – slowing things down with games where you walk, fly, sail, throw bananas and play ball, along with 3D printing innovation, a new flip phone from Commodore and a whole lot more! Michael M and Andy get things started while Michael R is away with cornucopia of games. First up is StonkRider, which bills itself as “motocross meets wall street” where you ride a motorcycle up and down a stock ticker.  Then, from the makers of Untitled Goose Game, is a new title called Big Walk, where, as the title suggests, you go out for an unstructured walk.  This harkens back nicely to the discussion between Ian and Andy in last week's episode.  And it reminds Michael of a story he saw recently about Google's take on Flight Simulator using Google Maps.  Next, the pair discuss TinyWind, a pixel pirate sailing game, where you might charter an accountant and sail the wild accountancy.  Then, an even more retro game appears – Gorilla.JS.  This DOS game has gorillas throwing exploding bananas at one another from across a cityscape where you can choose the angle and force to throw.  Both cohosts promptly thew their bananas with such little force that it went up in the air and exploded on their own gorilla.   Batter up!  Andy and Michael's next set of topics take them to America's pastime, and the adjacent sport of cricket.  After checking out the game visualization of Ribbie, the pair get into a discussion on what 8-Bit really means.  Michael remembers the SmallBall game, and was disappointed to learn that this game is no longer maintained.  On the other hand, he is happy about his university playing in the College World Series.  Baseball and cricket really lend themselves well to games because of all of the stats that are kept about each player and the games themselves.  Andy shared the story of the Wisden Cricketers Almanack which chronicles enormous details in it's 1,500 pages! After turning to innovations in 3D printing and visionOS collaboration, the cohosts consider the slow tech movement using the example of the new Commodore Callback flip phone.  This phone features the promoted ability to run 99% of Android apps while completely blocking social media and browsers.   Andy and Michael wrap things up with a new LEGO Ideas set – a playable LEGO space themed pinball machine.   Links to all of the fun are below – check them out!   What do you think the Commodore Callback model number 8020 means?  Have your bots

Hundreds of residents on Wellington's south coast are being warned to stay away from their homes until tomorrow morning, with the area under a state of emergency. Mandatory evacuation orders are in place for a number of waterfront properties. Waves of up to 11 meters have been battering the Capital's coastline. Alexa Cook reports.

Waves of up to 11 meters and gale-force winds battered New Zealand's capital on Tuesday, prompting mandatory evacuations along parts of Wellington's south coast. Officials said the ocean swells could cause significant damage.

After Craig Breslow being on the show yesterday, do you believe him when says the Red Sox are trying to improve the roster?

The coastline we have built our lives around is disappearing before our eyes. Coastal erosion is not a new issue, but our changing climate means there have been drastic changes to the coastline in recent decades. This weekend beachgoers on the south-east Queensland coast are being warned to be careful. The weather bureau is forecasting waves of up to four metres to batter the coastline and cause hazardous conditions and the big swell could cause further erosion at already-exposed beaches.

Jon Norman is joined by Cricket Broadcaster & Analyst Jarrod Kimber and the Deputy Cricket Correspondent of the Telegraph Will Macpherson to dissect England's Test squad for the first Test against New Zealand. Is Ollie Robinson's still England's best new ball bowler? Is there pressure on Gus Atkinson to perform with Jofra Archer set to come back in for the second Test? Should England have pulled Archer out of the IPL so he could play in the first Test? Will franchises soon offer Cricketers multi-year contracts to play for them instead? Is there pressure on Ben Stokes to start scoring runs again? Should he move down to bat at No.7, with Jamie Smith moving up to No.6? What now for Zak Crawley after being dropped from the Test squad? Has the pressure eased on Brendon McCullum after the public backing by the ECB?Instagram: @talkSPORT_CricketYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9vsecLHNgTj-yoNumw63lQX: @Cricket_TS @FulhamJon @AJarrodKimber @willis_macpHosts: Jon Norman, Jarrod Kimber and Will MacphersonProducer: Scott TaylorHosted on Acast.

Beat Migs! We ask the rockaholics this very important Simple Question.

I could be wrong, but I think I see a line of 6,603 standing dominoes with a forefinger poised to flick the first domino.Take a step back, I'll give you some facts, and then we'll return to the dominoes.There are 6,602 FM radio stations in America, 597 FM stations in Canada, and 234 in Australia on which you can air radio ads for local businesses. These radio stations are producing miraculous results for business owners who hire great ad writers to enchant the audience and savvy media buyers to schedule those ads to air with correct repetition 52 weeks a year.Sadly, most business owners do exactly the wrong thing. They run short schedules to “test the waters,” and then announce, “I tried radio and it didn't work.”ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX are producing miraculous results for business owners who hire great ad writers to enchant the audience and savvy media buyers to schedule those ads to air with correct repetition 52 weeks a year.Sadly, most business owners do exactly the wrong thing. They run short schedules to “test the waters,” and then announce, “I tried television and TV didn't work.”Did you notice the similarity that united those two easily proven facts?Anyone who believes that online media has made mass media obsolete is comically delusional. I never waste time attempting to correct these people.We will now return to the dominoes.Nielsen Audio is the media measurement company that allows savvy media buyers to create miraculous radio schedules. Without Nielsen, they are flying blind without instruments and very likely to crash their flying machines.Cumulus owns multiple radio stations in 84 important cities in the U.S. Their current financial difficulties make it impossible for them to pay Nielsen for their measurement services.Nielsen has responded by announcing that Cumulus radio stations will no longer be measured or listed in future ratings reports.The resulting invisibility of those stations will cripple even the savviest media buyers.An emerging measurement system, DTS AutoStage, shows promise but I remain convinced that it will be at least a few more years before it has sufficient breadth of data to replace Nielsen.The finger of Nielsen is flicking the domino that will knock over the other 6,602 dominoes in the chain that will ultimately result in the demise of Nielsen.I have no way of knowing whether or not Nielsen realizes that.Nielsen was purchased by private equity on October 11, 2022, less than 4 years ago.Things are looking good for ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX.Roy H. WilliamsWhen people talk about the Chicago Cubs and their historic 2016 World Series victory — ending a 108-year drought — Joshua Lifrak is a name you rarely hear. But he wears a Cubs World Series ring. Joshua Lifrak's job was to help players perform under extraordinary pressure. Today Joshua works with business leaders to sharpen focus, build mental resilience and perform at their best. Be fascinated as Joshua tells roving reporter Rotbart and deputy rover Maxwell how peak mental conditioning is a “home run” skill that anyone can learn and practice, regardless of what they do for a living.

On this week’s show, we recap the MN-FISH Summit that took place last week in Alexandria, and we learn about a Minnesota brand making fish fry batter. Mark Pederson from Chef Robert’s Gourmet Breading tells us what he thought of the Summit, what he thinks about self regulation and practicing more catch and release, and he tells us the story of Chef Robert’s. Joe Henry joins the show and we talk about trying to fix the small Northern Pike problem in Minnesota, as well as the latest from the Rainy River and why you should consider spending the fishing opener at Lake of the Woods. Bret and Dan start the show talking about the idea of a year-long walleye fishing season in Minnesota, some paddlefish snagging news from the Dakotas, salmon hooked on drugs, and controlled burns.

DESCRIPTION - TNS 18,4 - John Donne (1572-1631) on 21 April 2026John Donne (1572-1631) is a contemporary of our Guest at The Night School last month - St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622). Both were “divines”, which means “One who has officially to do with ‘divine things'; formerly, any ecclesiastic, priest, or other member of the clergy; now, one skilled in divinity; a theologian.” The latter was particularly famous for his letters of spiritual direction; the former, our Guest this month, is esteemed for his religious poetry, especially for his “Holy Sonnets”.His life and his understanding of God and religion, grounded in the convictions and habits of medieval Europe, came to pieces in the emergent “new world” of science and of the constantly, often violently, changing political scene. His personal failures and suffering deepened him to such a degree that he trained for the Priesthood and was ordained in 1615. Then when his wife died in 1617, his suffering increased and drove him deeper into the mystery of God and life. It is in this context that he composed his justifiably famous “Holy Sonnets”. He is judged the greatest of what came to be called “the Metaphysical poets”. (George Herbert, a previous Guest of The Night School, is counted among this number.)With our Guest this month, we will look closely at these sonnets, in whom we find some of the most famous lines in English poetry. For example, “Death be not proud” and “What if the present were the world's last night?” and “Batter my heart three person'd God” and in a prose essay, “No man is an island.”Welcome to the closing Part of The Night School, Series 18.

Send us Fan MailWords: Rev'd Jon SwalesMusic Pixabay: Piano LamentAfter the Chorus/After the NoiseI wrote this travelling by train through the Alps from Rome to Paris, after reading John Donne's Holy Sonnet XIV, “Batter my heart, three-person'd God.” These two poems trace a movement from the triggered body, where worship can still feel like threat yet there still,  despite numbing and distance, is a desire for encounter. I. After the ChorusDo not come to me now  as soft advice.Not as the bright smile  at the church door.  Not as the chorus swelling  through the speakers,  all uplift  and upward hands.The room is singing  its predictable liturgy —  the slow one,  the anthem,  the key change meant  to lift the heart —and something in me  locks.The body remembers  what the mouth  still cannot say.One chord,  and the old rooms open.The brand.  The corporate style.  The lanyards.  The smoothness of it all.Words weaponised  like daggers:‘you bring nothing of value  to this place.'And suddenly I am back there,  inside the room  where harm was done  and called itself ministry.So come like weather.Come like rain  against the chapel windows  when the singing grows too loud,  when joy itself  feels like threat.Break the locked places.There are pews inside me  still occupied by ghosts,  whole liturgies of fear  recited in the blood,  old shames hanging there  like vestments  in the dark.I have called it resilience.  I have called it faith.  I have called it carrying on.Still the walls sweat.Still the heart,  that small battered flat  above the old sanctuary,  lets in every echo  except peace.So come not as guest  but as the one  who knows the building  was never theirs.Kick in the swollen door.Shatter the stained glass  of the god they handed me —  the one who looked too much  like power,  too much like control,  too much like men  who mistook harm  for holiness.Burn what must burn.The false shepherd.  The polished liturgy.  The songs that ask the wounded  to rise too quickly.Batter my heart,  threefold mercy,  Father of the bruised,  Christ of the locked room,  Wild Goose moving  not in the amplifier's roar  but in the tremor beneath it.Undo me.Not as they undid me.Not to wound  but to make room  for breath.For I have been  an occupied city,  streets patrolled by fear,  every chorus a siren,  every bridge lifted in worship  a trigger.

So, this week I decided to take a break from the heavy lifting of a full novel to look at something equally weird: why the places we live have such bizarre "official" handles. Honestly, if you actually look into where state nicknames come from, it's rarely a group of dignified founders sitting around a table. It's usually just a bunch of 19th-century dudes making fun of each other until someone decided to put the insult on a license plate.What we're getting into:The Original Trolls: We talk about how a place like Missouri ended up with the "Show-Me" label. Spoiler: It wasn't a compliment. It was basically a way of calling people from the Ozarks a little too "slow on the uptake" to understand a joke.The Nutmeg Scam: Connecticut is out here calling itself the "Constitution State" now, but back in the day, they were the "Nutmeg State" because their traders were legendary for selling fake, wooden spices to unsuspecting tourists. It's basically the 1800s version of a crypto rug-pull.The Gopher Pivot: You've got Minnesota, which somehow turned a mean-spirited political cartoon about corrupt politicians into a cute mascot. It's like if we started calling a state "The Dumpster Fire State" and then fifty years later everyone was wearing Dumpster Fire hats at football games.Bird Identity Politics: Why is Alabama obsessed with a "Yellowhammer"? And since when is a "Blue Hen" the peak of toughness in Delaware? We're looking at the weirdly specific wildlife obsession that defines half the South.Silver vs. Dirt: Nevada's constant struggle between wanting to sound like a treasure chest and admitting it's mostly just covered in sagebrush.From the "Dark and Bloody Ground" of Kentucky to the "Sunshine" branding that hides a lot of corporate secrets, we're digging into the labels we inherited. It's a messy, hilarious, and totally nonsensical look at American self-branding.Give it a listen, stop yelling at traffic for ten minutes, and then go read a book. Seriously.
