In episode 256 of Talk Eastern Europe, hosts Adam,Alexander and Nina mark the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine with a heavy week of reflections – as well as some other news from the region. They discuss ongoing protest movements across the Balkans (includingfresh demonstrations in Bosnia and Herzegovina following a deadly tram derailment), tensions in Serbia, and what these cycles of civic anger say about corruption and accountability.The episode then features an interview with Nedim Useinow - a Crimean Tatar originally from Crimea and now a program manager with the German Marshall Fund. Adam and Nedim discuss where the war stands after four years, why current “peace talks” feel hollow, what occupation has meant for Crimea and Crimean Tatars, and how Ukrainians' resilience has shifted from shock to long-term adaptation. The conversation also touches on Poland's evolving public mood, disinformation, and why continued support for Ukraine still matters for European security.Read online: “Tortured into confession.

It's make-or-break under the lights as Palace host HŠK Zrinjski Mostar for a place in the Europa Conference League Last 16. Despite a weekend victory over Wolves stopping the rot in the league, the atmosphere at Selhurst Park is at a fever pitch following Oliver Glasner's "stay humble" comments and the resulting fan protests. With the tie finely poised at 1-1 after a frustrating first leg in Bosnia, can the Eagles focus on the mission at hand, or will the toxic divide between the dugout and the stands swallow up Palace's European dreams?Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/holmesdaleradio.

In this episode, I sit down with Andres Boaz Munoz Mosquera, a former Spanish military officer, NATO legal adviser, professor of international law, and spiritual caregiver, whose life has been shaped by war, democracy, and service.Andrés describes himself as “the product of three wars”: the Spanish Civil War, Spain's colonial conflicts in North Africa, and the war in Bosnia in the 1990s. His family history carries the trauma of exile under Francisco Franco, a grandfather imprisoned in concentration camps, a father who returned to Spain through the Foreign Legion, and a childhood where politics were largely left unspoken.We talk about his decision to join the military and what it meant to be trained not just as a soldier but in constitutional law. From there, he takes us to Bosnia in 1994, where serving under the United Nations exposed him to both the limits of peacekeeping and the realities of bureaucracy in wartime. Later, working within NATO, he saw how institutions function under pressure, and why he still believes international cooperation is necessary.In the final part of the conversation, we shift to a different kind of service, Andres's call to accompany people at the end of life.The book Andres mentions is ”Seeking in the Company of Others – The Wisdom of Group Spiritual Direction”, written by Roslyn G. Weiner (https://www.bu.edu/sth/seeking-in-the-company-of-others-the-wisdom-of-group-spiritual-direction-by-dr-roslyn-g-weiner-sth0103/).Recorded on 6 February 2026.Connect with Andres on LinkedIn at Andres Boaz Munoz Mosquera | LinkedIn.Instagram: @at.the.coalfaceAnd don't forget to subscribe to At the Coalface for new episodes every two weeks.Help us produce more episodes by becoming a supporter.

With the fanbase previously split on Glasner's future, one word poured petrol on the fire. We unpack the fallout from the “humble” comments, the mood inside Selhurst as banners went up, and why the tide of opinion has finally turned against the manager.Terence recounts the chaos of missing his flight back from Bosnia as we break down the performance against Zrinjski and what the second leg could have in store. Back on home soil, there's a much-needed win over Wolves to savour, from the fans' reaction to Pino's substitution, to Chris “Jimi Hendrix” Richards riffing at the back, and Guessand striking the decisive note.Not a full-blown revival just yet, but perhaps the first flickers of cohesion, resilience and belief that better days might not be too far away.

This episode begins at the ancient seven-arch bridge in Killaloe, the crossing point where Clare, Tipp and Limerick collide, and jumps to Višegrad in eastern Bosnia, where Ivo Andrić's The Bridge on the Drina uses one structure to tell a five-century story of tribes, trade, love, and conflict. Back in Ireland, the row over closing the old Killaloe bridge is about suburban sprawl swallowing once-separate towns and turning them into commuter satellites. Ireland has built a low-density model that forces people into cars, clogs villages with traffic, and makes the whole system fragile. Just 13% of Irish people live in apartments, compared to 46% across Europe, and the gap between where jobs and services are concentrated and where people actually live is now being paid for in time, congestion, and quality of life. So where do you look for a better model? Japan. We end in the Tokyo–Yokohama mega-region, 38 million people living densely, safely, and efficiently, and ask why Ireland keeps choosing a “rainbelt” version of American car sprawl, instead of building compact, mixed-use neighbourhoods that let people live near where they work, study and socialise.

The Eagles' European dream hangs in the balance after a frustrating 1-1 draw in the freezing temperatures of Mostar.

The conversation will focus on the state of America's economy, Trump's economic reforms, US-Iran Talks, America's ties with Israel, Virginia's radical changes with major tax hikes and sweeping gun control legislation and a new redistricting initiative which may leave Virginia's Congressional delegation with a 10-1 in favor of Democrats rather than the current 6-5 Republican edge. This could pose challenges in the mid-term elections.a leading attorney, currently serving as a legislator in the Commonwealth of Virginia, former Assistant Attorney General and former U.S. Congressman. The Washington Post's Editorial Board: "Brass-knuckled hypocrisy in Virginia" Quote: _The self-styled democracy party isn't behaving democratically. Democrats in Richmond are trying to effectively disenfranchise millions of Virginians by redrawing congressional maps to give themselves 10 of the commonwealth's 11 House seats — giving Democrats control of 91 percent of House seats in a state where Republicans lost the last presidential election by just six points. Most know better, including the governor. Abigail Spanberger was among the two-thirds of Virginians who voted in 2020 to transfer once-a-decade redistricting from the legislature to a bipartisan commission. “Gerrymandering is detrimental to our democracy,” she said back then. On Friday, Spanberger signed a bill to schedule an April 21 referendum that would move it back. The governor said it was necessary “to let voters respond to extreme measures taken by other states.”_ Bio | Tom Garrett Virginia Delegate Tom Garrett earned his Bachelor's degree from the University of Richmond. After the University of Richmond, Tom Garrett became an artillery officer in the United States Army. Achieving the rank of Captain, Tom led soldiers overseas—most notably while deployed in Bosnia. Upon returning to the States, Tom earned his J.D. from the University of Richmond and quickly became an Assistant Attorney General for Virginia. In 2016, Tom was elected to represent Virginia's 5th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. Tom won that election with the most votes ever in the 5th Congressional District. While in Congress, Tom served on the Foreign Affairs Committee, Homeland Security Committee, Education and Workforce Committee and was a member of the Freedom Caucus. 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. In the years since, Tom Garrett has dedicated his life to fighting for the oppressed and forgotten not only here in America, but around the world. Tom has been working on a global docu-series project, Exile, which tells the untold stories of those who are persecuted based on their faith or ethnicity. In addition to continuing his work as a defense attorney, Tom has served as a consultant and most recently, cofounder for firms working in global energy development. americasrt.com https://summitleadersusa.com/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @GarrettInExile @americasrt1776 @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

In this episode of Shut Up and GRIND, Robert B. Foster sits down with Pete A. Turner — former military counterintelligence operator and the executive producer/host of The Break It Down Show, a powerhouse podcast approaching its 10-year anniversary with over 2,000 episodes.Pete has interviewed everyone from Nobel Prize winners to Olympic gold medalists, but what makes his work different is his ability to pull real truth from the shadows — especially in high-stakes conversations like the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict, where he brings forward voices and perspectives you won't hear in mainstream headlines.With 70+ months of service and over 1,000 combat patrols, Pete's journey spans deployments and missions across Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia, Egypt, Germany, and beyond — and he brings that lived experience into every conversation with depth, humor, and precision.But this episode isn't just about geopolitics. It's about purpose.Pete opens up about service after service — including his charity work with Save the Brave, his personal battle with PTSD, and the heartbreaking loss of his brother Eric to suicide. Through initiatives like Ride for the Brave, Pete continues to turn pain into impact, traveling the country to raise funds, build brotherhood, and help veterans heal.This is a conversation about truth, sacrifice, storytelling, and what it really means to keep going when life hits hard.

La Gran Pirámide de Guiza sigue siendo uno de los misterios más fascinantes de la antigüedad. Hay pruebas sólidas que indican que podría haber sido una antigua central eléctrica. Para añadir más misterio, las pirámides de Teotihuacán, México, cuentan con una capa de piedra mica protectora contra el calor en su diseño… Pero, además, en todo el mundo hay cientos de antiguas pirámides que muestran alineaciones y estilos arquitectónicos sorprendentemente similares, y aún quedan muchas más por descubrir. Recientes hallazgos en Alaska, China o incluso Bosnia han ampliado esta lista, y si bien la pirámide de Yonaguni, Japón, se encuentra sumergida bajo el agua, los investigadores afirman haber encontrado pirámides enterradas bajo kilómetros de hielo en la Antártida. ¿Es posible que estas enigmáticas estructuras escondan la clave para desentrañar la verdad sobre el pasado extraterrestre de la humanidad?

Christmas has come and gone, but for Santa Claus – the football club that is, not the man with the beard – the other big moment of the year is fast approaching.

In this episode, I confront one of the most disturbing realities of human history: mass sexual violence in war.From Vietnam to World War II, from Rwanda to Bosnia, from Bangladesh to the Congo, the systematic r*pe of women has been used as a weapon of power, control, and humiliation.This is not about biology.This is not about instinct.And it is not about s-x.It is about dominance, dehumanization, ideology, and the psychology of cruelty.We examine documented cases of war crimes against women, the evolutionary myths surrounding male aggression, the long term consequences for victims and their children, including the Amerasian population and post war “occupation children,” and why human intelligence allows cruelty at a scale no animal can achieve.This is a philosophical and psychological breakdown of why men commit sexual violence, how societies enable it, and why true strength is restraint, discipline, and moral authority.Topics covered:war crimes against women, mass rape in war, psychology of sexual violence, human cruelty, genocide and sexual violence, Rwanda genocide, Bosnia war crimes, Vietnam War history, World War II atrocities, Amerasian children, power and domination, moral philosophy, human nature, masculinity and restraint, bystander effect, injustice in society.If this conversation matters to you, share it, engage with it, and be part of raising the moral standard.

As many of us were booking flights to Bosnia in the wake of the Conference League draw, one could have been excused for expecting a fairly run of the mill press conference in the build up to Sunderland. Instead, one of the most explosive Crystal Palace press conferences in the history of the Club took place as it was revealed that both the Head Coach and the Club captain would be leaving South London. As a result, Terence, Hesketh and Carl have assembled at short notice to share their thoughts on the days events. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As reports of mass killings in Bosnia spread in the middle of 1995, Germans faced a dilemma. Should the Federal Republic deploy its military to the Balkans to prevent a genocide, or would departing from postwar Germany's pacifist tradition open the door to renewed militarism? In short, when Germans said “never again,” did they mean “never again Auschwitz” or “never again war”? Looking beyond solemn statements and well-meant monuments, Andrew I. Port examines how the Nazi past shaped German responses to the genocides in Cambodia, Bosnia, and Rwanda—and further, how these foreign atrocities recast Germans' understanding of their own horrific history. In the late 1970s, the reign of the Khmer Rouge received relatively little attention from a firmly antiwar public that was just “discovering” the Holocaust. By the 1990s, the genocide of the Jews was squarely at the center of German identity, a tectonic shift that inspired greater involvement in Bosnia and, to a lesser extent, Rwanda. Germany's increased willingness to use force in defense of others reflected the enthusiastic embrace of human rights by public officials and ordinary citizens. At the same time, conservatives welcomed the opportunity for a more active international role involving military might—to the chagrin of pacifists and progressives at home. Making the lessons, limits, and liabilities of politics driven by memories of a troubled history harrowingly clear, Never Again: Germans and Genocide After the Holocaust (Harvard UP, 2023) is a story with deep resonance for any country confronting a dark past.

In this episode, I sit down with Rob Palmer, corporate government relations executive and retired U.S. Air Force Reserve public affairs officer, for a wide-ranging conversation on leadership, influence, and the art of translating complexity across the worlds of politics, the military, and industry.Rob's career spans trade association lobbying, military public affairs, NATO operations, and today the defence industrial base. Introduced to me by Rob Palm, his path offers a compelling parallel: not leadership from the cockpit or the field, but from the arenas where narrative, perception, and policy shape outcomes.We explore how upbringing and serendipity shaped his trajectory, what he learned negotiating across grey zones with politicians seeking clarity rather than detail, and how his Air Force Reserve service, including deployments to Bosnia and the Gulf, honed his ability to bridge perspectives.Recorded on 22 October 2025.Connect with Rob on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/robertppalmer.Instagram: @at.the.coalfaceAnd don't forget to subscribe to At the Coalface for new episodes every two weeks.Help us produce more episodes by becoming a supporter.

Welcome to This Year in Work! As we countdown to Christmas, we've pulled together the standout moments from our Tuesday episodes across 2025 — the stories, segments and listener questions that defined the year. From new workplace vocabulary to tech scandals, CEO tantrums and the wildest listener dilemmas, this episode is a celebration of everything that made TWIW what it is. Word of the Year: Duck Shuffler Our unanimous pick. A perfect term for those colleagues making a lot of noise on the surface while quietly shuffling chaos underneath. Straight from Episode 202 — and yes, the Bosnia-and-Herzegovina reference still makes sense in context. Stories of the Year: Big Toddler Energy When we first discussed CEOs behaving like overgrown toddlers, we didn't expect the avalanche of DMs, confessions, and even a YouTube thumbnail featuring us as actual toddlers. From Episode 196. Rule-Bending Leaders From Episode 200, the unforgettable debate on rule-breaking founders… including Al's confession about his beer-delivery business days. The Great Employment Heist Episode 214 gifted us one of the wildest workplace stories of the year: a single engineer secretly working for 22 startups and earning over $1m without doing the work. Hot Take of the Year: Gossip is Good Rebecca Taylor argued that workplace gossip isn't just normal — it's useful. One of our most talked-about segments of the year (Episode 194). Truth or Lies of the Year: The triangle that never was. From Episode 240, the myth-busting moment that sent LinkedIn into meltdown. Workplace Surgery Question of the Year: My Ex is My New Boss!! From Episode 180 — still one of the most awkward, gripping dilemmas we've ever received.
