Loin de la ceinture industrielle du pays, face aux menaces que fait peser la Russie, et à la montée en puissance des dépenses militaires dans le monde, la municipalité veut faire de la capitale un pôle d'innovation civil et militaire.   La ville de Berlin est la capitale des startups : elle a attiré l'an dernier (2025) un tiers des financements destinés aux jeunes pousses ; il se dit même qu'une startup y voit le jour toutes les quatorze heures. Si la tendance n'est pas nouvelle, ce qui l'est davantage c'est que le secteur de la défense est en train de se faire une place centrale dans l'économie locale. Face aux menaces que fait peser la Russie, et à la montée en puissance des dépenses militaires dans le monde, le message de la municipalité est clair : Berlin doit devenir un pôle d'innovation civil et militaire. Au point d'attirer aussi les industries traditionnelles du secteur. Reportage, Salomé Henon Cohin.   En Turquie, les Afghans sauvent l'agriculture Comme ceux du textile ou de la construction, le secteur agricole de la Turquie est de plus en plus dépendant d'une main-d'œuvre étrangère, migrante. Chez les éleveurs en particulier, ils remplacent peu à peu les ouvriers agricoles ou bergers locaux. Comme dans bien d'autres pays, les jeunes générations se détournent en effet de l'agriculture, d'autant qu'en Turquie le secteur a été durement touché ces dernières années par l'hyperinflation. Mais pour ces paysans afghans, les conditions de travail sont souvent très précaires. Reportage d'Anne Andlauer. À écouter aussiTurquie: les Afghans, nouvelle main-d'œuvre face au recul des travailleurs locaux Et en Serbie, les travailleurs venus d'Asie pallient le manque de main-d'œuvre Dans l'Europe tout entière, les travailleurs étrangers compensent le manque de main-d'œuvre. En plus du vieillissement de la population, certains pays souffrent d'un exode massif de leur jeunesse. C'est le cas de la Serbie dans les Balkans. Pour faire face, Belgrade a donc de plus en plus recours à des ressortissants non européens, venus principalement d'Asie. Mais les cas d'exploitation abusive de ces travailleurs vulnérables se multiplient et ils subissent en outre un racisme décomplexé. Les explications de Simon Rico. La chronique musique de Vincent Théval : Jens Lekman (Suède).

Ils sont partis sans savoir pour combien de temps... sans être forcément militants de l'opposition à Vladimir Poutine, ils ne voulaient pas vivre dans un pays en guerre sous une chape de plomb. Des centaines de milliers de Russes ont quitté leur pays depuis 2022. Dans les Balkans, la Serbie a accueilli entre 200 000 et 300 000 d'entre eux. Le pays attire grâce à une politique de visa souple, des liaisons aériennes quotidiennes et des liens culturels -mais aussi politiques - entre les deux pays. À Belgrade, les exilés russes apprécient une certaine liberté mais leur avenir reste suspendu à la position géopolitique de la Serbie. Reportage de Louis Seiller.     Documentaire : «Giorgia Meloni et le clan des goélands» ou la fulgurante ascension du rôle modèle de l'extrême droite européenne Après 3 ans au pouvoir sans véritable accroc, Giorgia Meloni a connu ses premiers vents contraires ces derniers mois : battue en mars sur sa réforme de la justice, critiquée sur sa politique migratoire, bousculée sur la scène internationale par Donald Trump, la présidente du Conseil italien tient la barre malgré tout, et son parti néo-fasciste, Fratelli d'Italia est toujours en tête dans les sondages (28%...) Un documentaire sur Arte, raconte l'incroyable ascension de Giorgia Meloni, de son engagement à l'adolescence auprès des héritiers de Mussolini, aux élections de 2022 qui la portent au pouvoir. Eric Joszef, coréalisateur de « Giorgia Meloni et le clan des goélands ».   En Espagne, frappés de plein fouet par le changement climatique... les agriculteurs cherchent les solutions de demain… Sécheresses, records de chaleurs, résistance aux nuisibles... dans ce pays qui se veut le potager de l'Europe, les cultures sont sous pression... Alors pour s'adapter et tenter de sauver les vergers, les producteurs de pommes notamment, se tournent vers les scientifiques. Reportage d'Elise Gazengel.

In Female Art and Agency in Yugoslavia, 1971–2001 (Bloomsbury, 2024), Anja Foerschner offers a compelling exploration of the women artists, curators, scholars, and activists who shaped the cultural landscape of Yugoslavia and its successor states. Drawing on both original research and existing scholarship, she traces the emergence of the New Art Practice of the late 1960s and 1970s, highlighting the pivotal role of Belgrade's Student Cultural Centre, where women were instrumental in forging a progressive artistic and curatorial vision. Through insightful examinations of performance art, video art, and the development of feminist thought in Yugoslavia, Foerschner reveals how the region carved out a distinctive place within the international postwar avant-garde. Situating Yugoslav feminism in dialogue with Western and neighbouring contexts, she sheds new light on the complex intersections of art, politics, and social change. By exploring artistic responses to the breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, and the enduring political dimensions of cultural production, this book invites readers to reconsider the legacies of activist art and their resonance in our present time.

Join Daily Inter Lake reporter Taylor Inman as she goes over five major stories shaping Northwest Montana this week - from forever chemicals detected in the Flathead Watershed to a new flood-resilient bridge for Farm to Market Road.The University of Montana's Flathead Lake Biological Station has confirmed the presence of forever chemicals and pharmaceutical compounds in the Flathead Watershed, including sites in Flathead Lake, the Flathead River, the Swan River, Stoner Creek, Ashley Creek and Whitefish Lake. Bio Station Director Jim Elser said concentrations are currently below levels of direct health concern, but the findings should motivate continued surveillance, which is challenged by the high cost of PFAS analysis.Kalispell ranked 48th out of nearly 1,900 U.S. cities and towns with more than 20,000 residents for population growth between April 2020 and July 2025, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The city grew from 25,076 to 31,851 residents over that period, a 27% increase and the largest of any Montana city in its population range.A 39-year-old man with a long history of driving under the influence faces felony charges including criminal child endangerment following a June hit-and-run in Whitefish. Myles Wayne Whitford was arrested in Kalispell with his child present and is due in Flathead County District Court on July 23.Columbia Falls Aluminum Co. has agreed to pay $57.6 million to clean up the former smelter site under a proposed consent decree with the Environmental Protection Agency, marking a milestone nearly a decade after the property was listed as a Superfund site in 2016.A Belgrade construction firm has been selected to build a replacement bridge across Libby Creek on Farm to Market Road, one of many structures damaged in the December 2025 flood in south Lincoln County. The Montana Department of Transportation says the new bridge is being designed to be more resilient to future flooding.Northwest Montana deserves strong news reporting.

VOV1 - Tổ chức Y tế Thế giới (WHO) cảnh báo đợt nắng nóng cực đoan đang gây ra những tác động nghiêm trọng trên khắp châu Âu, với hơn 1.300 ca tử vong vượt mức bình thường được ghi nhận kể từ ngày 21/6 vừa qua. Các chuyên gia nhận định biến đổi khí hậu do con người gây ra là nguyên nhân khiến nhữngTổng Giám đốc WHO Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus cho biết hiện khoảng 150 triệu người tại châu Âu đang phải sống trong điều kiện nắng nóng cực đoan. Nhiều trường học buộc phải đóng cửa, hệ thống điện chịu áp lực lớn, trong khi số người tử vong tiếp tục gia tăng. Theo WHO, số ca tử vong vượt mức bình thường là chênh lệch giữa tổng số người tử vong thực tế trong một khoảng thời gian và số ca tử vong dự kiến trong điều kiện bình thường. Ông Tedros nhấn mạnh, sốc nhiệt được xem là "kẻ giết người thầm lặng", trong khi phần lớn nhà ở, trường học và nơi làm việc tại châu Âu không được thiết kế để chịu đựng mức nhiệt cao như hiện nay."Căn hộ của tôi ở tầng cao nhất, hướng Nam, nên thực sự rất, rất nóng. Đợt nắng nóng vừa qua, tôi đã mua được một chiếc máy điều hòa, vì vậy bây giờ đã dễ chịu hơn nhiều rồi.""Đó chỉ là giải pháp ngắn hạn để chúng ta thoải mái hơn dù là chúng ta đã cam kết từ lâu sẽ không góp phần làm trầm trọng thêm tình trạng biến đổi khí hậu."Không chỉ Pháp, nhiều quốc gia khác ở Trung và Đông Âu cũng đang trải qua đợt nắng nóng kỷ lục. Tại Hungary, nhiệt độ ở thủ đô Budapest lên tới 38 độ C. “Khó mà chịu nổi tình cảnh này. Với thời tiết này, tôi đang quấn khăn ướt quanh cổ.”  “Tôi hầu như không ra khỏi nhà, vậy mà người vẫn đổ mồ hôi đầm đìa. Thật không thể chịu nổi. Tôi đã không ra khỏi nhà hai ngày liền, nhưng nhà tôi đã hết sạch bánh mì, hết mọi thứ, nên tôi buộc phải ra ngoài.”Chính quyền thành phố đã bố trí các điểm cấp nước uống miễn phí, hệ thống phun sương và tăng cường các biện pháp làm mát tại không gian công cộng để hỗ trợ người dân.Trong khi đó, tại Serbia, nhiệt độ tại thủ đô Belgrade được dự báo có thể đạt 39 độ C. Người dân tìm đến các công viên, đài phun nước, hồ tắm và khu vực có bóng mát để tránh nóng. Nhiều người bày tỏ lo ngại các hiện tượng thời tiết cực đoan sẽ ngày càng nghiêm trọng nếu biến đổi khí hậu tiếp tục diễn biến theo chiều hướng hiện nay.Bojona Stevanovic, một người dân cho biết: “Nguyên nhân ư? Các nhà máy, sự nóng lên toàn cầu, tất cả chúng ta đều biết điều đó, nhưng chúng ta không thể làm gì được, chỉ biết chấp nhận thôi.”Theo các nhà khoa học, đợt nắng nóng cực đoan bắt đầu từ ngày 20/6 được đánh giá là một trong những đợt khắc nghiệt nhất từng ghi nhận tại châu Âu. Nghiên cứu ban đầu cho thấy hiện tượng này gần như không thể xảy ra nếu không có tác động của biến đổi khí hậu do con người gây ra. Đồng thời, nhiệt độ ban đêm ở mức rất cao hiện nay có khả năng xảy ra cao gấp khoảng 100 lần so với cách đây hai thập kỷ, làm gia tăng đáng kể nguy cơ đối với sức khỏe cộng đồng và gây áp lực lên hạ tầng, hệ thống điện cũng như dịch vụ y tế trên toàn khu vực./.)Phương Anh/VOV1

Why does God ask His people to give if He already owns everything?In this episode, Marcos Bomfim presents the first part of the General Conference Stewardship Ministries Strategic Orientation. He challenges the common idea that church giving is primarily about meeting budgets or funding projects. Instead, giving is presented as a spiritual journey—one designed to teach us to trust God as our Owner and Provider.Marcos argues that people do not tithe simply to support ministers' salaries; instead, they give out of a deepening relationship with God. Through biblical principles, practical examples, and personal testimony, this message explores how tithes and offerings are not merely financial transactions, but acts of worship and faith—a spiritual discipline. From the “God First” principle to regular and systematic giving, this episode invites listeners to see generosity as a pathway to deeper dependence on God.You'll also hear:​Why stewardship is more about faith than finances​The difference between tithe and offerings​How regular giving shapes spiritual growth​The purpose behind “promise offerings”​Why members' participation matters more than tithes and offerings totals​A personal story of choosing faith over financial securityThis episode calls for moving beyond project-driven giving and rediscovering financial stewardship as worship, trust, and partnership with God's mission.Key references: Proverbs 3; Malachi 3; principles from the writings of Ellen G. White.The following key themes and details are explored:​Stewardship vision, mission, and goal.​The "God First" Principle: This is presented as a positive application of the First Commandment—placing God at the center of every life decision, including marriage, career, and finances.​Regular and Systematic Giving: Drawing from Proverbs 3:9 and the writings of Ellen White, the speaker defines this as returning a percentage of every income "increase" back to God. This includes the tithe (10%) and a regular offering, which is a percentage of the income chosen by the individual (often referred to as a "promise offering").​The Difference Between Tithing and Offering: While tithe is fixed at 10%, offerings are where an individual can "increase their percentage" to exercise greater faith.​Focus on Financial Stewardship: The speaker explains that while stewardship covers many areas (time, health, etc.), the Stewardship department has a focus on finances because it is the only department in the church structure dedicated to this topic.​Measuring Success: Rather than tracking total dollars, the strategic goal is to see a 2% annual increase in membership participation in tithing and offerings, which serves as an indicator of spiritual growth within the congregation.​Combined Offering Plan: This plan is promoted as a way to move members away from "project-based donations" toward a mindset of worshipping God through regular giving, ensuring funds are distributed equitably across local and global missions.Marcos shares his journey of transformation, noting that he initially never intended to be a pastor and felt spiritually weak. He recounts his experience pastoring both the poorest and wealthiest districts in his conference. He highlights a turning point where he and his wife decided to double their own offering percentage during a time of financial instability, viewing it as a "sacrifice of financial security" that allowed them to experience God's provision in the "desert".This episode mentions the production of offertory videos and readings designed to educate church members during the two minutes before a collection, aiming to provide a theological foundation for giving rather than mere entertainment.This episode was presented on May 04, 2026, during the Trans-European Division Stewardship Advisory in Belgrade, Serbia.

"He was one of the greatest men of Serbia who ruled the kingdom after king Dušan. Upon the death of King Uroš, Lazar was crowned King of Serbia by Patriarch Ephraim. He sent a delegation to Constantinople, including a monk called Isaiah, to plead for the removing of the anathema from the Serbian people. He went to war on several occasions against the Turkish Pasha, finally clashing with the Turkish king, Amurât, at Kosovo on June 15, 1389, being slain there. His body was taken to Ravanica near Cupria, a foundation of his, and buried there, but was later taken to New Ravanica in Srem. During the Second World War, in 1942, it was taken to Belgrade and placed in the Cathedral, where it is preserved to this day and offers comfort and healing to all who turn to him in prayer. He restored Hilandar and Gornjak, built Ravanica and the Lazarica in Kruševac and was the founder of St Panteleimon, the Russian monastery on the Holy Mountain, as well as numerous other churches and monasteries." (Prologue)

Author Julie Brill joined "The Shmooze" to speak about her recently released "Hidden in Plain Sight: A Family Memoir and the Untold Story of the Holocaust in Serbia". As a child, Julie held two conflicting beliefs. She knew Germans had murdered her Jewish grandfather in occupied Yugoslavia, yet she somehow believed the Holocaust had never come to his hometown of Belgrade. The family anecdotes her father passed down—a blend of his early memories and what his mother told him—didn't match what Julie had heard about Germany, Poland, and Anne Frank in Holland during World War II.

You step off a train in cities like Paris, Florence, Vienna, or Amsterdam and it feels like centuries of wealth, art, empire, and philosophy are layered directly into the streets. The architecture alone can overwhelm you. Cathedrals built before entire countries existed in the Americas. Cafés where writers, revolutionaries, and painters spent decades shaping culture. The infrastructure is polished, the museums endless, and even ordinary neighborhoods can feel cinematic. But what surprises many travelers is how deeply routine it all is for locals. The beauty becomes normalized. People casually drink wine beside buildings older than most civilizations in the Western Hemisphere. Western Europe feels refined, stable, and historically “finished” in a way few regions on Earth do. Eastern Europe hits differently. It feels heavier, rawer, and in many ways more honest. The scars of war, communism, occupation, and survival are still visible in the architecture and mentality. Cities like Budapest, Belgrade, Kraków, Bucharest, or Sarajevo carry a tension between old-world beauty and recent hardship. You can walk through grand Austro-Hungarian boulevards, then see Soviet apartment blocks only minutes away. The people are often less performative for tourists and more direct in conversation. Prices are lower, nightlife can be wilder, and the atmosphere feels less commercialized than Western Europe. There's also a stronger feeling that history here was not just written in books but lived recently by grandparents still alive today. Eastern Europe often leaves travelers with deeper memories because it feels less filtered and more emotionally textured. One of the biggest differences between traveling Europe and traveling Latin America is the relationship between order and spontaneity. Europe, especially Western Europe, operates with systems that have been refined for generations. Trains run on schedules. Streets were designed for walking centuries ago. Public life functions with a certain predictability. Latin America feels more alive in a chaotic sense. Plans change. Conversations last longer. Bureaucracy can feel irrational one moment and strangely human the next. In Europe, efficiency often dominates culture. In Latin America, relationships dominate culture. Neither is automatically better. One gives structure and reliability. The other gives warmth, adaptability, and energy. Travelers who understand this distinction usually enjoy both regions far more because they stop expecting them to operate the same way.

Eighteen months ago, the renovation of the railway station in Serbia's second biggest city, Novi Sad, led to a tragic accident. A substantial concrete canopy, which ran across the front of the station building, suddenly collapsed, killing sixteen people. The disaster sparked mass protests. Marchers demanded justice for the dead and injured. As the protests spread, to the capital, Belgrade, and to towns and cities across the country, the demands evolved. Protesters accused the government of corruption and of covering up the truth about what happened. The government accused the protesters of being foreign agents, supported and organised by malign outside forces. Now, after more than a year, the mass protests have finally subsided. Jill McGivering is in Serbia to find out what's happened to that explosion of anti-government anger.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.
