Podcasts about Berlin

Olafur Eliasson talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Eliasson was born in 1967 in Copenhagen and grew up between Denmark and Iceland, where his parents were from. His installations, sculptures, photographs and paintings, among other projects, reflect a profound concern with human presence in nature and how we perceive and interact with the world around us. His works can be deceptively simple or enormously complex, but often share a rigorous and reductive geometry, which may conversely produce expansive and multifarious perceptual, sensory and embodied effects. Eliasson has stated that “the spectator is the central issue”, a long-established aspect of conceptual and environmental practices, but for him it is important that the viewer not only completes the work, but is also transformed by it. This subjective and individual revelation is, he hopes, allied to a sense of collective experience, what he calls a “we-ness”, that often alerts his audience to wider cultural and social issues including the climate catastrophe. Indeed, environment, in multiple senses, is the fundamental element of his work.He discusses his deep concern about the climate catastrophe and the importance of action. He reflects on his concept of “seeing yourself sensing” and its shifting nature in relation to different works across his career, and how he often includes the word “your” in his titles as a gesture of trust towards his audience. He discusses the wealth of writers and thinkers that inform his work on a daily basis, from Donna Haraway to Alva Noë. He recalls the epiphany of experiencing a work by James Turrell and his fascination with early Renaissance conceptions of space. He reflects on his early fascination with breakdance and his current enjoyment of music by Hilda Gunnarsdóttir and Rosalía. Plus, he gives insight into life in his vast studio in Berlin, and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Olafur Eliasson: Presence, Queensland Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane, Australia, until 12 July 2026; Olafur Eliasson: Your curious journey, Museum MACAN, Jakarta, Indonesia, 12 April 2026, Your view matter by Olafur Eliasson, Padimai Art & Tech Studio, Tanjong Pagar Distripark, Singapore, 31 March 2026; and Olafur's first permanent public work in the UK, Your planetary assembly, 2025, is on view at Oxford North, Oxford, UK now.

Dr. Marina Henke, a professor at the Hertie School in Berlin and visiting professor at SAIS Johns Hopkins, discusses the motivations for writing her article "Best Practices in Grand Strategy Design," inspired by Germany's strategic reorientation post-Russia's invasion of Ukraine. She delves into the definition of grand strategy, its critical components, real-world applications, and the importance of continuous strategic updates.

When emotions hurt, most of us go straight into fix-it mode. We try to shut it down, numb it out, control our kids, or control the moment. But in this episode, Andee shares why the goal isn't to eliminate “negative” emotions. The goal is to move through them so they can actually complete and release.You'll hear a real-life holiday-season story (cruise chaos, kids growing up, and all the tenderness that comes with it), plus practical tools for what to do when your nervous system is activated and you feel the urge to rush, react, or lecture.Because here's the truth: when emotions become emergencies, you parent like an emergency responder. And connection disappears.In this episode, you'll learn:Why emotions are meant to hurt sometimes, and why that's not a problemThe difference between emotions, feelings, and sensations (in a way that actually makes sense)How “pain about the pain” is what multiplies sufferingThe two most common ways we avoid emotions (and how it shows up in parenting)Why “Let it hurt” is often the most powerful first stepHow to stop outsourcing your regulation to your kidsWhat emotional maturity really is, and how it grows over timeHow to stay connected when your nervous system is in fight-or-flightWhy your child benefits more from your emotional ownership than anything you could sayReal-life examples included:The “clean your room” moment where the real trigger wasn't the mess, it was the fear of not being heardA travel story from Berlin where a nervous system takeover turned into an opportunity for repair, regulation, and connectionKey takeaways to remember:Emotions that are allowed get processed. Emotions that are resisted get complicated.Your child's hard feelings aren't proof something is wrong. They're proof they're human.The goal isn't happiness. The goal is being able to stay present for the full 50/50 of life.Unfelt emotions fester. Felt emotions move through.Emotional strength isn't never getting activated. It's knowing what to do when you are.A question to sit with this week:Where are you treating emotions like emergencies in your home? And what might change if you practiced letting them move through instead of trying to make them stop?If this episode helped you, share it with a friend who's trying to stay calm, connected, and choose humanness this holiday season.Correction is out.

Lower deficits and trade imbalances reduce economic pressures that drive up prices, potentially stabilizing costs for consumers and businesses.  these figures signal improving fiscal health. For context, the U.S. deficit was around $1.7 trillion in 2024; dropping it by $600 billion would bring it closer to $1.1 trillion—a substantial cut that could ease long-term debt concerns and support lower interest rates.  Lower inflation to 2% would mean steadier prices, boosting real wages and consumer confidence.   The U.S. budget deficit is the annual shortfall when government spending exceeds revenue in a given fiscal year. The national debt is the total accumulated amount owed from all past deficits (plus interest), essentially the running total of borrowed money. https://twitter.com/GuntherEagleman/status/2000268781084348516?s=20 Political/Rights https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1999945168120848428?s=20 https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/2000177646072631506?s=20 https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/2000142553815847148?s=20 https://twitter.com/HamasAtrocities/status/2000263382197481781?s=20 https://twitter.com/BNODesk/status/2000304813591118154?s=20 from pakistan https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2000160163282727197?s=20 https://twitter.com/TheBritLad/status/2000308891104797052?s=20 https://twitter.com/Currentreport1/status/2000199214870180153?s=20 https://twitter.com/C_3C_3/status/2000055847309791603?s=20 Brown University Shooting Suspect In Custody; Gunman “Yelled Something” Before Attack On Econ Classroom  The shooter “yelled something” before the attack … Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2000264684180746600?s=20   authorities have detained the suspect in the Brown University shooting that occurred on December 13, 2025, which left two students dead and nine others injured.  The person of interest, identified as 24-year-old Benjamin Erickson from Wisconsin (who is not a Brown student), was taken into custody early on December 14 at a hotel in Coventry, Rhode Island, about 15 miles from the campus.  Officials have confirmed no other suspects are being sought, and the investigation is ongoing.

The left wing culture in America, including mass migration is making us less safe. It's the root of our problem. Fix our regressive, hedonistic, violence and evil loving culture. That will fix America. We need our country to value strength, life, love, liberty, faith and family again.

Source: thehindu.com CIA Outlet Concerned About Kash Patel and Dan Bongino Meeting with Top Zelenskyy Officials It  been  reported that the FBI has been working closely with the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) in detecting and discovering corruption amid Ukraine officials who have skimmed money from various international aid programs.  However, the Washington Post is suddenly concerned that FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino have held “secret meetings” with lead Ukraine peace negotiator Rustem Umerov.   it is easy to get the sense that Rustem Umerov is in alignment with the U.S. proposals, but Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not.  Hence, Zelenskyy keeps returning to his U.K, France, Germany and EU support network for counterproposals despite his officials like Umerov working with the U.S. team directly. This paragraph from within the WaPo (CIA) framework seems to tell a background story: […] “The meetings have caused alarm among Western officials who remain in the dark about their intent and purpose. Some said they believe Umerov and other Ukrainian officials sought out Patel and Bongino in the hopes of obtaining amnesty from any corruption allegations the Ukrainians could face. Others worry the newly established channel could be used to exert pressure on Zelensky's government to accept a peace deal, proposed by the Trump administration, containing steep concessions for Kyiv.” (more) Perhaps Zelenskyy's primary negotiator for the USA team, Rustem Umerov, has specific knowledge of corruption connected to the generous financial support the USA has provided Ukraine.  Watching Yermak get taken down within the FBI/NABU investigation, might have triggered Umerov to cooperate on several levels. Umerov reported as happy with the negotiated U.S. terms. Volodymyr Zelenskyy openly not happy with the negotiated terms. This is worth watching.

Filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, the complaint challenges contract provisions that prioritize teachers from “underrepresented populations” during layoffs, reassignments, and recalls, and that grant exclusive employment benefits to members of a third-party program known as “Black Men Teach Fellows.” Federal officials argue the policies violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race or sex in employment.

The British Medical Association said 83% of its members had voted to continue with the walkout in an online poll over the weekend, with a turnout of 65%.Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was "gutted" by the result, describing it as "irresponsible" given the rising pressure from flu.The BMA argues that, despite previous pay rises, resident doctors' pay is still a fifth lower than it was in 2008, once inflation is taken into account.

Negotiators are engaged in high-level talks to hammer out a peace plan for Ukraine in Berlin, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sounding like he's ready to cut a deal. Though President Donald Trump did not attend the weekend negotiations with European leaders, he seems poised to swoop in once a legitimate plan is on the table. The question mark looming over the talks, though, is uncertainty over Russian President Vladimir Putin's position. Playbook's Jack Blanchard and POLITICO White House reporter Sophia Cai break down the latest developments.

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick explores the murky relationship between British intelligence, the Labour government, and the "gentleman capitalists" of the post-war era.Why was Harold Wilson, the most electorally successful British Prime Minister of the 20th century, targeted by paranoid elements within MI5 as a potential Soviet spy? We delve into Wilson's time at the Board of Trade in the late 1940s, where he forged controversial deals with the Soviet Union to secure timber for Britain's reconstruction.From the rise of corrupt tycoons like Robert Maxwell (who began as an intelligence officer in occupied Germany) to the class war between the "modernizing" Labour government and the "grouse moor" establishment, this episode uncovers the seeds of the plot to overthrow Wilson in the 1960s. It's a story of Cold War intrigue, antisemitism within the British elite, and the clash between a new technological Britain and the old school tie.Key Topics:The Plot Against Wilson: Why MI5 officers like Peter Wright suspected the PM was a KGB agent.The Timber Deals: How Wilson negotiated with Stalin's deputies to rebuild Britain.Robert Maxwell: The origins of a media mogul in the intelligence world of post-war Berlin.Class Conflict: The "Chapocracy" vs. Wilson's white heat of technology.Books Mentioned:Smear!

In dieser Sonderausgabe berichtet Markus Lanz von seinem Gespräch mit dem ukrainischen Präsidenten Selenskyj in Berlin. „Ich habe einen sehr sympathischen und zugänglichen Mann erlebt, dessen Land gerade um das nackte Überleben kämpft“, erzählt er Richard David Precht im Gespräch. In einem sehr persönlichen Moment erzählte Selenskyj Markus Lanz, dass er nie an eine Flucht aus der Ukraine gedacht habe, auch nicht, als US-Hubschrauber bereitstanden. „Die Qualität eines Präsidenten zeigt sich nicht in guten, sondern in schlechten Zeiten.“ Precht möchte wissen, welche Gedanken Markus Lanz aus dieser Begegnung mitnimmt. „Ich bin aufgewühlt und werde noch bis in die Weihnachtstage darüber nachdenken, wie wir wieder zu mehr Moral in der Politik zurückkehren können.“

New-York, Montréal, Penang, Berlin, Barcelone, Amsterdam... Partout dans le monde, les villes durcissent leurs réglementations pour freiner la prolifération des locations touristiques de courte durée. Principale cible : Airbnb.   En moins de 20 ans, la plateforme est devenue un acteur majeur du tourisme mondial avec une offre dans plus de 150 000 villes, plus de 8 millions d'annonces actives pour un chiffre d'affaires de 11 milliards de dollars en 2024. Au départ, alternative moins chère aux hôtels, permettant une expérience d'hébergement plus authentique pour les voyageurs et un complément de revenu pour les propriétaires, Airbnb s'est petit à petit métamorphosé et avec, les villes visitées. Pour beaucoup de propriétaires, la location courte durée est devenue une aubaine bien plus rentable que la longue durée.   Conséquences pour les habitants, une offre de logements disponibles qui s'amenuise, une hausse des loyers et une cohabitation de plus en plus tendue avec les touristes et les fameux “digital nomads”.   Les capitales ne sont pas les seules concernées. En France, par exemple, des communes de taille moyenne comme La Rochelle, Biarritz ou Nice ont vu leur centre-ville se transformer avec Airbnb. Les épiceries, les cordonneries, les magasins d'optique ou autres quincailleries laissent place à des coffee shop, des commerces de restauration rapide ou des magasins de souvenirs. Néanmoins, pour d'autres communes, l'arrivée d'airbnb a permis d'améliorer l'offre d'hébergement touristique et de redynamiser la vie locale. Alors quelles sont réellement les conséquences d'Airbnb sur les villes ? Et comment elles s'organisent face à l'explosion du tourisme de plateforme ?   Avec : • Chloé Tegny, cheffe de groupe au département opinion de l'Ifop. Co-autrice avec Jérôme Fourquet et Sylvain Manternach d'une étude pour l'Institut Teram Tourisme 2.0 : anatomie de la France Airbnb parue en octobre 2025   • Francesca Artioli, politiste et urbaniste, maîtresse de conférences à l'École d'urbanisme de Paris de l'Université de Paris-Est Créteil. Co-autrice avec Thomas Aguilera et Claire Colomb de Housing Under Platform Capitalism: The Contentious Regulation of Short-Term Rentals in European Cities (Editions de l'Université de Californie, 2025)   Un entretien avec Najet Benrabaa, correspondante de RFI à Medellin en Colombie, où l'expansion de la plateforme Airbnb a transformé le visage de la ville.  En fin d'émission, la chronique Voisins connectés d'Estelle Ndjandjo, sur l'évolution des sociétés africaines mondialisées à travers les écrans, les réseaux sociaux et la technologie. Aujourd'hui, elle s'intéresse aux filtres qui permettent aux utilisateurs noirs d'éclaircir leur peau. Une nouvelle forme de dépigmentation mais virtuelle.  Programmation musicale :   ►Trafic locaux - Limsa d'Aulnay & ISHA ►Perdon - Ruta Calavera

Kommt es zum Ukraine-Durchbruch im Kanzleramt?Helikopter über Berlin, Sicherheitskräfte im Regierungsviertel: Bis in den Sonntagabend verhandelten Kanzler Merz, Ukraine-Präsident Selenskyj und Trumps Berater Witkoff und Kushner über Krieg und Frieden in Europa. Es geht um Gebietsabtretungen an Russland und Sicherheitsgarantien durch die USA - und noch nie waren die Verhandlungen so angespannt wie jetzt. Doch auch in den USA wird deutsche Politik gemacht: Eine AfD-Delegation reiste nach Washington und New York und traf sich mit Vertretern der US-Regierung und der Trump-Partei - und ließ sich feiern.

New-York, Montréal, Penang, Berlin, Barcelone, Amsterdam... Partout dans le monde, les villes durcissent leurs réglementations pour freiner la prolifération des locations touristiques de courte durée. Principale cible : Airbnb.   En moins de 20 ans, la plateforme est devenue un acteur majeur du tourisme mondial avec une offre dans plus de 150 000 villes, plus de 8 millions d'annonces actives pour un chiffre d'affaires de 11 milliards de dollars en 2024. Au départ, alternative moins chère aux hôtels, permettant une expérience d'hébergement plus authentique pour les voyageurs et un complément de revenu pour les propriétaires, Airbnb s'est petit à petit métamorphosé et avec, les villes visitées. Pour beaucoup de propriétaires, la location courte durée est devenue une aubaine bien plus rentable que la longue durée.   Conséquences pour les habitants, une offre de logements disponibles qui s'amenuise, une hausse des loyers et une cohabitation de plus en plus tendue avec les touristes et les fameux “digital nomads”.   Les capitales ne sont pas les seules concernées. En France, par exemple, des communes de taille moyenne comme La Rochelle, Biarritz ou Nice ont vu leur centre-ville se transformer avec Airbnb. Les épiceries, les cordonneries, les magasins d'optique ou autres quincailleries laissent place à des coffee shop, des commerces de restauration rapide ou des magasins de souvenirs. Néanmoins, pour d'autres communes, l'arrivée d'airbnb a permis d'améliorer l'offre d'hébergement touristique et de redynamiser la vie locale. Alors quelles sont réellement les conséquences d'Airbnb sur les villes ? Et comment elles s'organisent face à l'explosion du tourisme de plateforme ?   Avec : • Chloé Tegny, cheffe de groupe au département opinion de l'Ifop.

Co-autrice avec Thomas Aguilera et Claire Colomb de Housing Under Platform Capitalism: The Contentious Regulation of Short-Term Rentals in European Cities (Editions de l'Université de Californie, 2025)   Un entretien avec Najet Benrabaa, correspondante de RFI à Medellin en Colombie, où l'expansion de la plateforme Airbnb a transformé le visage de la ville.  En fin d'émission, la chronique Voisins connectés d'Estelle Ndjandjo, sur l'évolution des sociétés africaines mondialisées à travers les écrans, les réseaux sociaux et la technologie.

KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that Ukraine stands ready to agree on security guarantees based on NATO Article 5 as a part of a compromise in the peace process, the Ukrinform news agency reported.基辅——据乌克兰国家通讯社报道，乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基周日表示，作为和平进程中达成妥协的一部分，乌克兰已准备好接受以北约《第五条款》为基础的安全保障安排。"From the very beginning, Ukraine's desire was to join NATO, these are real security guarantees. Some partners from the United States and Europe did not support this direction," he told reporters.他在接受记者采访时表示：“从一开始，乌克兰的目标就是加入北约，因为那才是真正的安全保障。但来自美国和欧洲的一些伙伴并不支持这一方向。”"Article 5-like guarantees from the United States and from European partners, as well as from other countries — Canada, Japan ... would provide an opportunity to prevent another arrival of Russian troops," Zelensky said, adding, "It is already a compromise on our part."泽连斯基说：“来自美国、欧洲伙伴以及其他国家——如加拿大、日本等——的‘类似第五条款的保障'，将有助于防止俄罗斯军队再次进入乌克兰。”他补充说：“这本身已经是我们作出的妥协。”Zelensky said he was not yet ready to disclose specific details of the proposed security guarantees, saying they would be known in a day or two.泽连斯基表示，目前尚不便披露拟议安全保障的具体细节，相关内容可能在一两天内公布。Zelensky arrived in Berlin on Sunday afternoon for talks with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and other European leaders.泽连斯基于周日下午抵达柏林，将与德国总理弗里德里希·默茨及其他欧洲领导人举行会谈。German newspaper Bild reported that Zelensky may also hold talks with representatives of US President Donald Trump, but did not elaborate further.德国《图片报》报道称，泽连斯基还可能与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的代表进行会谈，但未透露更多细节。NATO Article 5北约《第五条款》（集体防御条款）Compromise[ˈkɒmprəmaɪz]妥协security guarantees安全保障disclose details披露细节news agency通讯社

Einmal komplett mit Salat? Und ob. Eigentlich wollten unsere Jungs heute ihrem Plan folgen und über aktuelle Entwicklungen in Berlin und Sydney sprechen. Aber dann kam mal wieder anders. Die akuten menschlichen Abgründe machen uns heute wütend und geben uns das Gefühl von Angst. Die großen Linien aber sind es, die auf unseren Schultern lasten. Es sind die großen Verbrechen und das große Versagen der Weltgeschichte, dass uns zur Verzweiflung treibt. Darum erzählt Opa heute vom Krieg. Vom Krieg in der Ukraine und wie er begann, vom Krieg gegen den Terror und wie er genutzt wird und vom Krieg gegen das Virus, dass zum Krieg gegen Menschen und Freiheitsrechte wurde. Marcel und Benjamin- zwei Opas mit dem Herz am richtigen Fleck und dem Herz auf der Zunge.
