Chris Chavez, Kyle Merber, and Preet Majithia are back with lots to unpack, including two Diamond Leagues, a half marathon world record, a robot, a Rupp record, and breaking news at the end of the episode.Discussed in this episode:– Yomif Kejelcha, 56:51 half marathon world record, Buenos Aires: Cuts 21 seconds off Jacob Kiplimo's 57:20 from Lisbon in March (note: the Lisbon run hasn't been formally ratified yet either). Kejelcha's splits: 13:45 through 5K, 27:19 through 10K (19 seconds off world record pace), then he turns it on: 13:22 for 10K-to-15K, closes the final kilometer in 2:32.– Silesia men's 1500m — Ethan Strand wins in 3:30, 11th to first: Cole Hocker third (3:31.17, first race since Pre Classic, seven weeks off), Jakob Ingebrigtsen fourth (3:31.19, ten days after winning the European 5K), Phanuel Koech second (3:31.14). Splits: 1:50.4 last 800, 54.3 last lap, 26.4 last 200 (13.2/13.2 for Ethan). Strand ran wide in lane two for much of the race, avoided the traffic that boxed Cole and Jakob, and had a clear line in the final 100.– Jakob Ingebrigtsen's return to the 1500: Ten days since Europeans. Ran to the front from 600 to go, accelerated sharply in 13.7 for that section, closed at a level that wasn't far off Ethan.– World Athletics Seb Coe Super Invites — Budapest 1500 expands to 13: Both Josh Kerr and Jakob Ingebrigtsen confirmed. World Athletics broke their own rule because the matchup was too good to keep from fans.– Silesia women's 1500m — Tsigie Duguma wins in 3:55.06 (world lead, PB): Goes from fifth to first in the final 100 meters with her trademark last-50 burst.– Lausanne 5000m — Americans go 2-3-4: Birhanu Balew wins in 12:57. Parker Wolfe second in 12:58.2, Nico Young third in 12:58.3, Graham Blanks fourth in 12:59.16. Parker Wolfe is the best American 5K runner right now.– Lausanne men's 800m — Wanyonyi wins in 1:42, first DL 800 victory of the year: Marco Arop went through 400 in 49.1 — deliberately trying to set up a world record attempt (Rudisha's split was 49.2).– Lausanne women's 800m — Audrey Werro wins in 1:55.33, Femke Bol second in 1:55.41: Femke sets a new Dutch national record (tying, then surpassing Ellen van Langen's 1992 Olympic final mark).– Silesia women's 100m — Melissa Jefferson-Wooden wins, 10.78: Extends unbeaten 100m streak to 10 races.– Rai Benjamin confirms the double at World Ultimate: Flat 400 on day one, 400H semis and final on days two and three.– The robot: Lightning, a humanoid robot built by smartphone maker Honor, ran 9.32 at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing — breaking Bolt's world record of 9.58.– Galen Rupp, 61:29 at the Antrim Coast Half Marathon: US 40+ record. Ninth place overall. Fastest half he's run in six years.– Looking ahead: Zurich Diamond League Thursday. Diamond League final in Brussels September 4-5. World Ultimate Championships September 11-13.____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSVELOUS: VELOUS makes recovery footwear designed to help runners bounce back faster between sessions.

Europe's drought has reduced water levels on the Danube, causing headaches and lost income for companies generating electricity from hydro, coal-fired and nuclear power plants. We travel down the river, stopping off in Austria, Hungary, Serbia and Romania to look at how each country is dealing with the challenges and what ordinary people are doing to help.

They're two of La Crosse's best-ever basketballers but — for being Division I athletes headed overseas for Year 2 of the pros — we find out one of them is utterly terrible at bar-league sand volleyball. Jordan Davis and Lexi Donarski stopped by the studio before heading back to Europe. We hit on everything from how bad Jordan and his twin brother Johnny are on the sand to how many free tacos they scored after Johnny’s famous Taco Bell commercial — plus Lexi’s history of locking down WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark going back to high school. Donarski, a five-year starter at Iowa State and North Carolina, is headed to play for Cadí La Seu in Northern Spain (though she can’t quite pronounce the city name yet). Meanwhile, Jordan — who of course played for the Wisconsin Badgers before heading to Illinois State — is weighing his options after spending last year in Belgrade, Serbia. We also dive into their chaotic experiences with the transfer portal, how they missed out on big NIL money by just a year, and what it was like playing alongside Johnny as he nearly won player of the year, to getting drafted 10th overall in the NBA draft. In this episode: Life Across the Pond: Lexi prepares for Spain after a year in Budapest, while Jordan reflects on playing in Belgrade, Serbia — navigating solo roster spots, language barriers, and long bus rides across Europe. The High School Heartbreak & College Grind: Reliving the abruptly canceled 2020 state tournament runs because of COVID to everything college hoops — from best memories to the madness of surviving the transfer portal. Family Ties & Draft Day: Jordan talks of playing with his brother Johnny during an NCAA Player of the Year run and getting drafted No. 10, to his brother's next chapter in Turkey. Plus how Jordan almost played college football instead. Guarding Caitlin Clark: Lexi breaks down her matchup history facing WNBA phenom Caitlin Clark and her defensive mindset head-to-head against elite scorers. Sand Volleyball "Legends": Both stars spent their summer playing rec sand volleyball at a local bar in La Crosse — and why Lexi carries the Davis bros on the team.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! Desde 2022 los ContraViajes culturales se organizan una vez al año en primavera, pero abril y mayo resultan demasiado fríos y lluviosos para destinos septentrionales como Viena, Budapest o las islas británicas, y demasiado calurosos para lugares meridionales como Egipto, Petra o el norte de África. De ahí nace la propuesta de desdoblar el viaje en dos, uno invernal a destinos por debajo del paralelo 40, entre noviembre y marzo, y otro estival a destinos septentrionales, de mayo a julio. La ventaja añadida es que quienes no encajan las fechas del viaje único podrían acudir al menos a uno de los dos. Como primera prueba invernal se plantean las islas Canarias, un destino que va mucho más allá del sol y la playa. El archipiélago desempeñó un papel decisivo en el descubrimiento y la conquista de América, sirvió de escala a Colón y ensayó soluciones urbanísticas luego trasladadas al continente. La Laguna, con su trazado en damero declarado patrimonio en 1999, y Las Palmas, con Vegueta, la Casa de Colón y sus castillos, concentran un patrimonio singular, junto a La Orotava o la Candelaria. Su clima benigno, buenos vuelos desde Madrid, amplia planta hotelera y un guía como Carlos Pérez Simancas completan el atractivo. Necesito la opinión de los patronos, fans y miembros del canal, porque de esa opinión saldrá lo que se haga finalmente.

In this episode, Ray Cochrane breaks down NVIDIA’s case for world action models, the shift that swaps a robot’s picture-describing backbone for one trained to predict what happens next. He also covers Perseverance closing in on the off-world driving record, a derelict SpaceX rocket stage hitting the Moon, and Anthropic’s rework of Claude Fable 5’s biology safeguards. Finally, he digs into Gemini Omni, Google’s undisclosed trip-planning rankings, the Danube’s record low, and iFixit’s call for Apple to unlock the iPad bootloader. – Want to start a podcast?

Wildfires in Eastern Oregon made for a rough week of heavy smoke, and a local building burned down, which he calls a real tragedy. Meanwhile, his work at Blubrry has centered on PowerPress fixes, where reproducing customer-reported bugs remains the biggest headache. Support tickets rarely carry enough detail, and the errors themselves are often too vague to diagnose. Consequently, he is leaning toward a stronger logging and error layer, and he asks experienced developers to share what actually works for them. Beyond VLAs: NVIDIA’s Case for World Action Models The featured story comes from NVIDIA’s developer blog, and it answers a question sitting underneath this year’s robot news. Why do robot arms fall apart the moment anything changes? Move a cup six inches, swap its shape, or change the lighting, and a policy that worked perfectly in training fails. The answer, according to NVIDIA, is not the robot but the model underneath it. For the last few years, the dominant approach has been the vision-language-action model, or VLA, built on an AI that originally learned to describe pictures. Consequently, it recognizes a banana it has never seen, in a kitchen it has never seen, yet it has no idea what that banana will do next. As the article puts it, such a model “does not learn what happens to a mug when the gripper closes, how a towel folds, where an object lands when released.” Because the physics never arrives with the model, every scrap of it has to come out of hand-recorded demonstrations. The proposed fix swaps the foundation entirely. Instead of building on a model that learned to caption images, a world action model builds on one trained to predict how video continues, so the physics is already paid for. Notably, these models output an action and a prediction of what the robot’s cameras will see, in the same pass. Cochrane likens it to forethought, imagining your own motion as you make it. NVIDIA’s implementation is Cosmos 3, pretrained on roughly 767 million images and 348 million videos of real-world dynamics. It ships in 4, 16, and 64 billion parameter sizes named Edge, Nano, and Super, and it runs in real time on a Jetson Thor board bolted to the robot itself. Cochrane recalls his dad owning one of those Jetson boards, and he asks anyone working in robotics to explain how the throughput figures fit together. However, he closes on an open question: where did 348 million videos actually come from? For deeper detail, he points listeners to the source article and to NVIDIA researcher Jim Fan.

Perseverance Closes In on the Off-World Driving Record Ars Technica reports that NASA’s Perseverance rover is about to take the record for most distance driven on another world. The mark sits at roughly 28 miles, set by NASA’s own Opportunity rover across more than fourteen years before it went quiet in 2018. As Cochrane works out on air, that averages about two miles a year. Perseverance will pass it in roughly five years instead. The difference is a navigation system called AutoNav. Since a radio signal takes several minutes to reach Mars, earlier rovers crept along pre-plotted routes and stopped every half meter to think. Perseverance carries a second computer dedicated to processing what its cameras see, so it plans while the wheels keep turning. Consequently, about ninety percent of its driving is autonomous, against roughly ten percent for Curiosity, and it averages around 110 meters an hour rather than 15 to 18. Cochrane notes researchers finding the rover at planned sites days ahead of schedule, and he wonders aloud whether world action models might drive the next one. A SpaceX Rocket Stage Slammed Into the Moon Next, Smithsonian Magazine covered the Falcon 9 upper stage that struck the Moon on August 5. That stage flew back in January 2025, carrying Firefly’s Blue Ghost and ispace’s Resilience landers, and it was never meant to end up there. SpaceX’s Julianna Scheiman says a mixture of solar activity and gravity nudged the derelict onto a lunar path after nineteen months adrift. Four tonnes of dead hardware arrived at about 5,400 miles per hour. Nobody watched it happen, and the reason is a nice bit of physics. It struck sunlit ground near a crater called Einstein, and no impact flash has ever been detected on the lit part of the Moon. However, the instruments caught the aftermath. South Korea’s Danuri orbiter imaged a dark new mark, while the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope picked up sodium and lithium in the plume, the lithium possibly shed by the rocket itself. Astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell quipped that he has “Sir Isaac Newton’s personal assurance that it did indeed hit the moon,” while planetary scientist Hannah Sargeant warns against making a habit of it. Cochrane points out the Apollo landing sites are still sitting up there. Anthropic Reworks Claude Fable 5’s Biology Safeguards Anthropic published a post on how Claude Fable 5 handles biology questions, and the bind is genuine. Biology is the textbook dual-use problem, since the knowledge behind reading your own lab results also helps someone build a weapon. Rather than refusing outright, a classifier watches for risky requests and quietly reroutes them to Claude Opus 5, a capable model without Fable 5’s biological depth. Anthropic calls that mechanism a fallback. The trouble was how often it fired on people doing nothing wrong. This update cut biology-related fallbacks by roughly 85 percent in Anthropic’s own testing, with expected overall drops of 67 percent on Claude.ai and 55 percent on Cowork. Genuinely dual-use territory still trips it, and Anthropic names virology, toxicology, and molecular design. Cochrane hit the old behavior himself and found it irritating, so he welcomes the refinement. Even so, he would rather see a false positive than a model helping someone produce a virus. Five Builders Put Gemini Omni Through Its Paces Google highlighted five builders working with Gemini Omni. Omni is a model rather than an app, and it generates video from text, images, other video, or audio, while also editing footage you already have. Google claims it “combines an intuitive understanding of physics with Gemini’s real-world knowledge,” citing gravity, kinetic energy, and fluid dynamics. As Cochrane observes, that is the same bet NVIDIA is making with robots, only pointed at video generation instead. He also flags a naming collision worth knowing about. NVIDIA calls its architecture an omni-model while Google’s product is simply Omni, two different things landing in the same week. Additionally, he encourages listeners to watch the demos, though he still senses a disconnect in AI-generated video and concedes that knowing its origin may color the impression. Gemini Wants to Plan Your Vacation Another Gemini piece, a how-to on trip planning, drew Cochrane’s sharpest take of the night. Gemini plugs straight into Google Maps, Flights, and Hotels, pulling live locations, reviews, and prices to build an itinerary. Switch on a feature called Personal Intelligence, and it reads across your Google apps, turning a messy trip-planning email chain into a clean master plan. Clever, but he calls it extremely concerning. Once these become services, he expects partnerships to quietly push particular hotels, restaurants, resorts, and destinations onto users. Notably, Google’s post never explains how any of it gets ranked, and the words sponsored, ad, affiliate, commission, and paid never appear once. There is no disclosure of a commercial arrangement, and no denial of one either. Meanwhile the post hands readers off to Viator to book tours without describing that relationship at all. Cochrane suspects the real effect shows up slowly, in the shape of small businesses continuing to disappear. The Senate Blocks a Rule on Who Controls Research Money Science reports that the Senate passed a temporary spending bill in the early hours of Saturday the 8th. The Senate’s version carries a one-paragraph rider the House version lacks, and that rider stops the White House Office of Management and Budget from finalizing a set of proposed rules. OMB builds the president’s budget, clears agency regulations, and controls how approved money actually reaches agencies. The bill itself is a stopgap, which prevents a shutdown without settling anything. The rules reach every organization that takes federal money, a pot of roughly $1.1 trillion across 41 agencies, about $150 billion of it research grants. They would let political appointees second-guess which grants get funded, allow awarded grants to be pulled when the work does not match presidential priorities, and put several countries off limits for research partnerships, China first among them. Senator Susan Collins pushed the block through after telling OMB director Russell Vought the proposal was deeply flawed, noting nearly 500,000 public comments, the vast majority opposed. However, the 90-6 vote is not law. Both chambers are on recess. Vought reportedly said the rule would not have been finalized before December anyway, and the block only lasts as long as the stopgap, which expires December 11. The Danube Falls to a Record Low ESA published a pair of Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite images showing the same bend of the Danube, 45 kilometers upstream of Budapest, photographed a year apart. Cochrane calls the before-and-after shocking, going from green to brown completely. Wire reports put the Budapest gauge near 10 centimeters at the start of the month, about four inches of water, against a previous record of 33 centimeters set in 2018. The knock-on effects arrived fast. Budapest ran short on both power and drinking water, while the shrinking flow concentrated pollution in what remained. Romania hit record lows on its own stretch as well. Cochrane hopes the recovery is already underway. What a Heatwave Actually Does to the Power Grid That river story runs directly into a Carbon Brief factcheck. Nuclear plants cool themselves with river water, so when the Danube dropped, plants in Hungary and Romania throttled back and pulled roughly 2.5 gigawatts off the grid. Romania declared a state of alert in its energy sector, and its navy reportedly used explosives to steer more water toward a plant intake. Carbon Brief then walked through what heatwaves do to each way of making electricity. Nuclear loses efficiency when the cooling water is already warm, though its shutdowns are mostly regulatory rather than mechanical. Gas turbines pull in less air because hot air is thinner, costing capacity. Wind falls off hardest, since a heatwave is a big stalled dome of high pressure and nearly still air. Solar is the surprise: cells genuinely do get less efficient as they heat up, yet total output climbs anyway, with UK solar up 46 percent during a four-day June heatwave against the week before. Butterflies Are on the Move Everywhere A new study in Nature Ecology and Evolution covered 1,758 butterfly species, roughly one in ten of every species we have named. The team pulled 6,182 records from 105 countries, reading non-English research alongside 68 expert write-ups. Four out of five species pushed into new territory, and about 79 percent of the logged shifts traced back to climate change and extreme weather. Separately, 27 percent saw their range shrink somewhere, and 22 percent moved up or down a mountain slope chasing cooler air. That sounds like good news, and it really is not. Expansion means a boundary moved, not that butterflies are thriving, since a species can push its northern edge forward while its southern edge quietly collapses. Lead author Shawan Chowdhury says the shifts turn up on every continent where butterflies occur. Additionally, monitoring gaps leave Central Africa, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and the Amazon Basin barely counted at all. Cochrane recalls hearing years ago that butterflies were disappearing in Hawaii, and he invites listeners spotting unfamiliar species locally to contribute what they see. Primates Make Friends Across Species Cochrane called this one a fun find. A study in the journal Primates, led by Cyril Grueter at Oxford, gathered 427 documented cases going back to the 1970s across 88 primate species and 127 partner species. Play and grooming dominated at 139 and 136 cases, alongside carrying, huddling, food sharing, and even adoption. Primates usually started the interactions themselves, with juveniles playing most, adult females handling grooming and caregiving, and adult males least likely to join in. The examples are remarkable. Japanese macaques on the island of Yakushima groom sika deer and climb on their backs, a silverback gorilla cradled a tiny wild bushbaby, and wild capuchins in Brazil adopted an infant marmoset in a bond that held for weeks. However, Grueter rejects the pet-keeping headline and prefers the hedged term proto-pet keeping. The actual claim is smaller and more interesting: curiosity, tolerance, caregiving, and play have roots running far deeper than humans do. iFixit Tells Apple to Unlock the iPad Finally, an opinion piece from Charlie Sorrel at iFixit struck a chord. This fall, iPadOS 27 drops support for a batch of older iPads, including the 8th-generation iPad, the third-generation Air, the fifth-generation mini, and the first-generation iPad Pros. Cochrane owns one of those Pros and reports it still works fine. Those devices will not break, but they stop getting OS and security updates until apps abandon them and the battery gives out. The obvious second life is Linux, except the bootloader stays locked. Apple’s iBoot will not load anything else, unlike a Mac, a PC, or most Android phones. Sorrel argues it “should be a user choice, not a vendor choice,” and Cochrane agrees flatly. You own the device, so why does Apple decide what runs on it? He compares the situation to jailbreaking, and he suspects most consumers have never pushed back simply because it never occurs to them. Nevertheless, he hopes an unlock eventually breathes new life into hardware that still works perfectly well.

“He's not a trustworthy witness to his own story. Everything is ten times bigger and better than it really was — except when he was accused of crimes, in which case he can't really remember anymore.” — Joby Warrick on Carlos the Jackal Yesterday, WOLA's Adam Isacson and John Walsh described how the US government has appropriated the term “narco-terrorism” to justify their Latin American killing spree. Today, we talk the real thing. Pulitzer Prize-winning Joby Warrick has a new book out about the rise and fall of Carlos the Jackal, who he calls the “original super-terrorist.” So who was Carlos the Jackal? Originally he was named by his Venezuelan Marxist father Ilich in homage to Lenin. Then he renamed himself Carlos, borrowing from a fake passport the French police happened to find in 1975. While The Jackal came from the London Guardian after reporters spotted Frederick Forsyth's best-seller on the bookshelf of his London safe house. Ilich (i.e. Carlos) loved it. Anything for attention. Especially from the capitalist media. His career, as a proxy Palestinian terrorist, was equally audacious. His solo debut, at 24, was the attempted London assassination of Marks & Spencer chairman Joseph Sieff. Two years later, Carlos waltzed into OPEC headquarters in Vienna and kidnapped most of the world's oil ministers, a terrorist heist that, Warrick reveals, was financed by Muammar Gaddafi. Then all of Carlos' yesterdays — and there are many, as Warrick discovers when he interviews him in his French jail. He spent twenty years on the run, mostly barely camouflaged in faded Eastern European hotels. The Mossad didn't even consider him worth assassinating. By the eighties he had become a gun for hire who'd stopped attacking Israelis. And at 75, in his convent-turned-prison outside Paris, the world's original super-terrorist cooks his own meals, repeats old leftist slogans, and misremembers everything except his innocence. In spite of his pathetic fate, Carlos matters because, as Warrick notes, the Jackal model is back in fashion. Russia and Iran now hire petty crooks on Telegram for a few hundred dollars to firebomb synagogues or assassinate dissidents. Gaza's tragic hopelessness echoes the post-1967 conditions that bred the first wave of Palestinian terror. Social media is now infested with wannabe violent influencers. The day of the Jackal, then, is not only our history but also our future. Five Takeaways • Interview with the Jackal. Warrick negotiated for over a year — with Carlos, then with a French government determined he not be glorified, since his gravest crimes were against French citizens — for roughly ninety minutes in March 2025, no recorder, no camera, notebook only. The prison is a converted sixteenth-century convent outside Paris where the Nazis once tortured members of the Resistance; inside it, Carlos remains the big man on campus — guards call him Carlos, not Ilich, and he keeps a large cell, cooks his own meals, and browses the internet. At 75 he is natty, polyglot, charming — and stooped, forgetful, repeating himself into what Warrick calls a fog of old memories. As a witness he is worthless: everything ten times bigger and better than it was, except the crimes, which he suddenly cannot recall.• Ilich, Carlos, Jackal: An Accidental Brand. His ardent-Marxist father named his three sons Vladimir, Ilich, and Lenin, after the founder of the Soviet Union. “Carlos” came from a fake passport — Carlos Martinez — that French police happened to seize in 1975; the pudgy dark-glasses photo the world memorized was a passport fake he remains embarrassed by. “The Jackal” was coined by the British tabloids after reporters prowling his London safe house spotted Forsyth's The Day of the Jackal on the bookshelf. He embraced all of it: a true believer whose slogans still pour out in prison, welded to a massive ego that always placed Carlos at the center of the revolution. Had Instagram existed, Warrick agrees, he'd have used it — the pre-digital influencer, with the world's press as his platform.• From Five Bullets to Kidnapping OPEC. His 1970 baptism of fire in the Black September fighting hardened him past the point of return; his solo test, at 24, was the attempted assassination of Marks & Spencer chairman Joseph Sieff — an old gun, five bullets, a jam, and a bullet deflected by the victim's teeth (“good old Milk Marketing Board,” Sieff told the BBC from his hospital bed). The masterpiece came in December 1975: a 26-year-old walks into OPEC's Vienna headquarters mid-conference, takes the world's oil ministers hostage, extracts a plane and a ransom, and flies them to North Africa — the most audacious terrorist act Warrick can name. The book's scoop settles who sponsored it: not Saddam Hussein, as biographers and a 2010 docudrama claimed, but Muammar Gaddafi — the autocrat pioneering the criminal proxy with no return address.• Twenty Years, No Capture — and a Mossad Pass. The world's most wanted man spent two decades in comfort: Budapest his favorite hideout (good meals, nice hotels — Carlos insisted on top-flight everything), the Hungarians, East Germans, and Romanians almost proud to host their superstar guest, Assad's Syria always available. The run ended only when the Bloc fell and the Arab states tired of him; the French and Americans finally tracked him to Khartoum in 1994. The great deflation is the Mossad: they never bothered with him. His mentor Wadi Haddad — the true operational genius — they hunted and killed; Carlos, by then a mercenary who'd stopped attacking Israelis, simply fell down the priority list. The world's most fearsome terrorist wasn't worth Israel's effort.• The Return of Violent Chaos. Warrick's closing argument, and the reason this history is news: the Gaddafi model has been rediscovered. Russia and Iran now hire criminals — recruited on Telegram, paid a few hundred dollars in crypto — to throw grenades into synagogues, set fires, and assassinate dissidents: hundreds of incidents already, most under the radar, none traceable to Moscow or Tehran. The modern Carlos works for whoever pays; ideology has left the business entirely. Gaza's hopelessness, meanwhile, mirrors the post-1967 despair that launched the first international terror wave — and we are not prepared. As for America's own extrajudicial turn, from drone war to boat strikes: “There's no precedent... it is a grave change for us as Americans. Very troubling to me.” About the Guest Joby Warrick is a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and veteran national security correspondent for The Washington Post. His books include The Triple Agent, Red Line, and Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS, winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction. The Jackal: The Rise and Fall of Carlos, the World's First Super-Terrorist (Scribner, August 18, 2026), built on newly declassified archives, secret police files, and a rare interview with Carlos himself, is out next week.
A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision addressing birthright citizenship has renewed debate over one of the most consequential questions in immigration policy for any nation: Who should be entitled to citizenship?To examine the current state of citizenship policy, especially as it relates to immigration, the International Network for Immigration Research (INIR) held a panel discussion featuring policy experts from the United States, France, Israel, and Hungary, hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies. The panel explored how different democracies define citizenship, the historical development of their laws, and the policy choices that shape them today.While the United States has long interpreted the 14th Amendment to confer citizenship broadly on nearly all children born on U.S. soil, many countries have adopted different approaches. Some place greater emphasis on parental citizenship, while others have modified their laws over time; France, for example, revised its citizenship laws in the 1990s to move away from automatic citizenship at birth.HostMark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration StudiesGuestsPawel Styrna is the Director of International Relations at the Federation for American Immigration Reform, Washington, D.C.Nicolas Pouvreau-Monti is the Executive Director of the Immigration and Demography Observatory (OID), Paris.Yonatan Jakubowicz is the Executive Director of the Israeli Immigration Policy Center, Jerusalem.Viktor Marsai is the Executive Director of the Migration Research Institute, Budapest.LinksPress ReleaseVideoTranscriptLive StreamIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

She was born in Budapest and brought up in the Hungarian Jewish community in Sydney, and has been instrumental in outlining coping strategies through multiple books and research articles.Her latest book, which will launch next week, is titled “Do Not Forget Me Street: Remembering the Budapesti Schindlers”, and features the direct family history of Erica, who has discovered the story of her uncle Nandor Eichel, a lesser-known rescuer of Jews during the time of the Holocaust. SBS Hebrew chatted with Erica to hear her story and explore a lifelong passion for purpose, resilience and courage.
Here's your chance to listen to a firsthand account of one of the most horrible parts of our recent human history, and how we stop it from happening again. This episode features a conversation with a psychologist whose life's work sits at the intersection of two of humanity's most extreme capacities: the capacity for cruelty, and the capacity for courage. A survivor of the Holocaust in Hungary, hiding in Budapest as a six-year-old, he became a leading researcher on the psychology of genocide, group violence, and altruism - work that has shaped police training programs on "active bystandership," informed reconciliation efforts in Rwanda, and produced decades of research on what leads ordinary people to help others, even at personal risk. What to Listen for: Small early experiences compound. How children are raised - with warmth, responsiveness, and consistent values - can shape whether they grow toward caring or toward hostility, on both an individual and societal level. Responsibility, not just empathy, drives action. Empathy alone doesn't reliably produce helping behavior - a felt sense of responsibility for someone else's welfare, paired with a belief that you can actually make a difference, is what moves people to act. Bystanders can be trained to become "active bystanders." This isn't just theory - it's the basis of real police and school training programs designed to help people intervene safely when they see harm happening. "Blind patriotism" vs. "constructive patriotism" is a useful lens for understanding how loyalty to a group, a leader, or a country can either enable harm or serve as a check against it. Violence - and caring - escalate gradually. Small unaddressed moments of hostility or dehumanization tend to compound over time, in families, institutions, and nations alike. Personal history and professional work aren't separate. The guest's own childhood experience of hiding from persecution, and the people who risked their lives to protect his family, directly shaped decades of research into what makes rescuers different from bystanders. About Ervin Staub Professor Emeritus of Psychology and founding director of the Psychology of Peace and Violence Program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. A survivor of the Holocaust in Hungary as a young child, he has spent his career researching the roots of genocide, mass violence, and altruism — including fieldwork in Rwanda, expert witness work related to the Abu Ghraib trials, and the design of active-bystandership training programs now used by police departments across the country.

Mert visszaút nem nagyon volt, hiába sikerült néhányuknak évekkel később, más útlevéllel, más néven mégis haza.

What if building a successful business isn't only about having the right strategy—but also about understanding who you are, how you naturally operate, and who you are becoming? Recorded at the iconic New York Café in Budapest and released for the 8/8 Lionsgate Portal, this special conversation brings together two different—but deeply connected—approaches to entrepreneurship. Burcu Onaranel Erten, International Speaker, Branding & Business Growth Strategist, joins Kübra Özgüvenç, Sustainable Income Coach and founder of Unison Temple, to explore what happens when branding, business strategy, nervous system awareness, alignment, and self-discovery come together. Because every business has a brand. And every business has a nervous system. Are you building yours in alignment with who you actually are? In This Episode We explore: • Why knowing who you are is the foundation of a sustainable personal brand • The connection between your identity, nervous system, and business decisions • Why strategy without alignment can lead to burnout—and alignment without structure can become an "expensive hobby" • How Burcu's A.U.T.H.E.N.T.I.C.ity™ Code begins with Alignment • Using your birth chart as a tool for self-discovery • Finding a speaking, content, and visibility strategy that works for YOU • Why you don't need thousands of followers to build a profitable business • Why quality over quantity matters when building authority • How to create a brand and business model you can actually sustain Burcu brings the strategy, positioning, branding, authority, and roadmap. Kübra brings alignment, nervous system awareness, astrology, and understanding your individual nature. Together, we ask: How do you build a business that not only makes money—but also works for the person running it? ✨ Our Message for This 8/8 You don't need to do everything or be everywhere. And you definitely don't need to build your business exactly like somebody else built theirs. Know who you are.Release what no longer belongs to you.Embody who you are becoming.Build the right structure.Create your own roadmap.And allow your business—and your next version—to grow in alignment with you.

more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-08-08-07-38-19-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A nyári nap melege jólesőn áradt be a budapesti Központi Vásárcsarnok hatalmas ablakain.En: The warmth of the summer sun pleasantly flooded through the large windows of the Budapesti Központi Vásárcsarnok.Hu: Az épület belseje szinte lüktetett az élettől.En: The interior of the building was almost pulsating with life.Hu: Mindenütt friss zöldségek, fűszerek és helyi finomságok illatoztak.En: Everywhere, the scent of fresh vegetables, spices, and local delicacies wafted through the air.Hu: Az emberek nyüzsgése és a kereskedők harsány kiáltásai töltötték be a levegőt.En: The hustle and bustle of people and the loud shouts of vendors filled the atmosphere.Hu: Árpád célzottan menetelt az egyik stand felé, ahol tudomása szerint a keresett különleges gomba fellelhető.En: Árpád purposefully marched toward one of the stands where he knew he could find the special mushroom he was looking for.Hu: Mesterszakács volt, és hosszú hónapokig dolgozott a tökéletes fogáson, amit be akart mutatni a híres ételkritikusnak.En: He was a master chef, and for long months he had been working on the perfect dish he intended to present to the famous food critic.Hu: Minden izgalmával járta a piacot, szemének semmi nem kerülte el a figyelmét.En: He moved through the market with excitement, his eyes missing nothing.Hu: Közben Réka lassan sétált, minden egyes apró részletet magába szívva.En: Meanwhile, Réka walked slowly, absorbing every little detail.Hu: Utazási íróként sok országot bejárt, de most arra vágyott, hogy az otthon valódi ízei és hangulatai inspirálják.En: As a travel writer, she had visited many countries, but now she longed for the genuine flavors and atmospheres of home to inspire her.Hu: Azért érkezett ide, hogy újra felfedezze gyökereit, hogy valami különlegeset találjon, amit szavakba önthet.En: She had come here to rediscover her roots, to find something special she could put into words.Hu: Végül mindketten ugyanahhoz a standhoz érkeztek.En: Eventually, they both arrived at the same stand.Hu: Pontosan egyszerre nyúltak a maradék gomba felé.En: They reached for the remaining mushrooms at exactly the same time.Hu: Csodálatos volt az a pillanat, ahogy egykori ismerősük arcát hirtelen felismerték.En: It was wonderful, that moment, as they suddenly recognized the face of their old acquaintance.Hu: Sok év telt el azóta, hogy utoljára látták egymást.En: Many years had passed since they last saw each other.Hu: – Árpád?En: "Árpád?"Hu: – kérdezte Réka meglepetten, miközben szemei a múlt kedves emlékeit idézték fel.En: Réka asked in surprise, her eyes recalling the fond memories of the past.Hu: – Réka!En: "Réka!Hu: Te lennél az?En: Is that you?Hu: Hihetetlen!En: Unbelievable!"Hu: – válaszolta Árpád, széles mosollyal.En: replied Árpád with a broad smile.Hu: A helyzet vicces volt, ugyanakkor különösen fontos mindkettejük számára.En: The situation was humorous, yet especially important to both of them.Hu: Rövid idő alatt mindketten elmesélték, miért van szükségük a gombára.En: In a short time, they each explained why they needed the mushrooms.Hu: Árpád lelkesedése éppúgy átérződött, mint Réka kíváncsisággal teli vágyakozása.En: Árpád's enthusiasm was just as palpable as Réka's curiosity-filled longing.Hu: Árpád mélyet sóhajtott, majd mosolyogva azt mondta: – Tudod, talán megoszthatnánk.En: Árpád took a deep breath and then said with a smile: "You know, maybe we could share.Hu: Ha együtt dolgozunk, valami igazán különlegest alkothatunk.En: If we work together, we can create something truly special."Hu: Réka egy pillanatig gondolkodott, majd bólintott.En: Réka thought for a moment and then nodded.Hu: Az ötlet, hogy közösen alkossanak, felkeltette az érdeklődését és remek történeti alapanyagot kínált a számára.En: The idea of creating together intrigued her and offered excellent material for a story.Hu: Ahogy egymás mellett haladtak a standok között, közösen tervezték meg a fogást és a hozzá írandó történetet.En: As they walked alongside each other between the stands, they planned the dish and the accompanying story together.Hu: Különös kapcsolódás született ekkor közöttük, régi barátságuk újjáéledt, most már közös célokkal és álmodozásokkal.En: A peculiar connection was formed between them at that moment, their old friendship rekindled, now with shared goals and dreams.Hu: A vásárcsarnok forró nyári levegőjében összefonódott a konyhai művészet és az írás szeretete.En: In the hot summer air of the market, the love for culinary arts and writing intertwined.Hu: Árpád megtanulta, hogy néha a legjobb eredményeket együttműködés hozza, míg Réka megtalálta a múlt kapcsán elveszett ihletét.En: Árpád learned that sometimes the best results come from collaboration, while Réka found the inspiration she had lost in the past.Hu: Így értek véget a délutáni találkozásuk pillanatai, de kezdődött egy új fejezet az életük történetében.En: Thus ended the moments of their afternoon encounter, but a new chapter began in the story of their lives.Hu: Együtt teremtették meg azt, ami külön-külön talán sosem sikerült volna: egy ízletes ételt és egy csodálatos történetet.En: Together, they created something that perhaps they could never have achieved individually: a delicious dish and a wonderful story.

Egyedül nem megy..." mondta halk hangon, amiben ott bujkált a félelem.En: "Bence, let's stay together. Alone, it doesn't work..." she said softly, fear lurking in her voice.Hu: Az introvertált fiú nem volt hozzászokva a társasághoz, de valamiért örült Dóra jelenlétének.En: The introverted boy was not used to company, but for some reason, he was glad for Dóra's presence.Hu: Ahogy az óra mutatói közeledtek az éjfélhez, egyre nyilvánvalóbbá vált, hogy szükségük van némi pihenésre is.En: As the clock hands approached midnight, it became increasingly clear that they needed some rest as well.Hu: Az este csendja felemésztette körülöttük a gondolatok zaját.En: The silence of the evening devoured the noise of thoughts around them.Hu: "Már nem sokáig tarthatjuk fenn ezt a tempót," suttogta Bence.En: "We can't keep up this pace for much longer," Bence whispered.Hu: Dóra bólintott.En: Dóra nodded.Hu: "Tartsunk egy kis szünetet, menjünk ki egyet sétálni a parkba!"En: "Let's take a little break, let's go for a walk in the park!"Hu: Kéz a kézben hagyták el a könyvtárt, a nehéz könyvek békében pihentek mögöttük.En: Hand in hand, they left the library, the heavy books resting in peace behind them.Hu: Kint az éjszakai levegő felfrissítette őket.En: Outside, the night air refreshed them.Hu: Bence megtanulta, hogy nem csak a saját erejére támaszkodhat, hanem mások segítségére is.En: Bence learned that he could not only rely on his own strength but also on the help of others.Hu: Dóra pedig végre érezte, hogy megérdemli azt a magabiztosságot, amit mások mindig látni véltek benne.En: And Dóra finally felt that she deserved the confidence that others always seemed to see in her.Hu: A parkban járkálva megbeszélték, hogyan fogják együtt az utolsó héten támogatni egymást.En: As they strolled through the park, they discussed how they would support each other during the last week.Hu: A hosszú éjszaka után a hajnal új lehetőségeket hozott.En: After the long night, dawn brought new opportunities.Hu: Már nem voltak egyedül, és tudták, hogy együtt szembeszállhatnak bármilyen kihívással.En: They were no longer alone and knew that together they could face any challenge.Hu: Így tértek vissza az egyetem falai közé, ahol a jövő fényében másnap újra találkoznak.En: Thus, they returned within the university walls, where, in the light of the future, they would meet again the next day.

Két befolyásos család titkos megállapodása, amely évszázadokkal korábban befolyásolta a város életét.En: In light of translations and new information, a scandalous century-old family secret emerged before them— a secret agreement between two influential families that had shaped the city's life centuries ago.Hu: Réka elragadtatva írt egy bejegyzést a blogjához, képzeletbeli életre keltve a régi Budapesti szalonokat és politikai intrikákat.En: Réka, enthralled, wrote a post for her blog, bringing to life through imagination the old Budapest salons and political intrigues.Hu: Rövidesen a bejegyzés vírusként terjedt az interneten, új olvasókat vonzva a blogjára.En: Soon, the post went viral on the internet, attracting new readers to her blog.Hu: Zoltán számára a történet személyesebb kanyart vett.En: For Zoltán, the story took a more personal turn.Hu: További kutatások révén felfedezte, hogy az egyik érintett család az ő családja volt.En: Through further research, he discovered that one of the families involved was his own.Hu: Ez az új információ újraírta a saját életének történetét.En: This new information rewrote the story of his own life.Hu: Zoltán mintha magára talált volna, a családtörténete része lett saját identitásának.En: Zoltán seemed to have found himself, with his family's history becoming a part of his own identity.Hu: Ahogy a nap lassan lenyugodott a város fölött, Zoltán és Réka egy asztalnál ültek, megvitatva mindazt, amit felfedeztek.En: As the sun slowly set over the city, Zoltán and Réka sat at a table, discussing all that they had discovered.Hu: Réka értékelte, milyen fontos a másokkal való együttműködés az igazi történetek felkutatásában.En: Réka appreciated how important collaboration is in uncovering true stories.Hu: Zoltán pedig elégedettséggel nézett szét a városon, ahol immár nem csak a történelmet, hanem saját családi örökségét is felfedezte.En: Zoltán looked over the city with satisfaction, where he had discovered not only history but also his own family heritage.Hu: Közös élményeik Budapest gazdag kultúráját és történelmét élővé varázsolták számukra, így találták meg mindketten, amit kerestek.En: Their shared experiences brought the rich culture and history of Budapest to life for them, allowing both to find what they were searching for.

Balázs Bödö's first interaction with a shadow library was when, as a young professor at university in Budapest, he was faced with a dilemma: what should he teach his students? "Do I condemn my students to a second rate education and a second rate degree in the European Union?

Kitaláltuk, hogy egy kis spontaneitás jót tenne neked.”En: "Let's go to Balaton! We thought a little spontaneity would do you good."Hu: Dénes tétovázott. „Nincs munkám... Talán jobb, ha itthon maradok, és pénzt spórolok.” De Eszter nem hagyta annyiban.En: Dénes hesitated. "I don't have a job... Maybe it's better if I stay home and save money." But Eszter wouldn't let it go.Hu: „Ez remek lesz! Gyere, Dénes! Érezd a napot, a szabadságot! Nézd, Katalin is jött, és mesés fotókat fog készíteni!”En: "This will be great! Come on, Dénes! Feel the sun, the freedom! Look, Katalin is here, and she's going to take amazing photos!"Hu: Katalin bólintott, csillogó szemekkel. „Mindjárt indul a vonat, Dénes. Ne gondolkodj túl sokat—néha csak menni kell!”En: Katalin nodded, her eyes sparkling. "The train's leaving soon, Dénes. Don't overthink it—sometimes you just have to go!"Hu: A vonat sípolt, az ajtók már záródni kezdtek.En: The train whistled, and the doors were already starting to close.Hu: Dénes szíve gyorsan vert.En: Dénes' heart was beating fast.Hu: Félelmei és aggodalmai szinte a vállára nehezültek.En: His fears and worries weighed heavily on his shoulders.Hu: Elröppent egy pillanat, majd döntött.En: A moment flew by, and then he decided.Hu: Egy mély lélegzetet vett, és előrelépett. Az ajtón éppen időben ugrott fel.En: He took a deep breath and stepped forward, jumping onto the train just in time as the door closed.Hu: Amikor a vonat elindult, Eszter és Katalin mellette mosolyogtak.En: As the train started moving, Eszter and Katalin smiled beside him.Hu: A város lassan eltűnt a szemük elől, csak a napfény és a szabadság maradt.En: The city slowly disappeared from sight, leaving only sunshine and freedom behind.Hu: Dénes kinézett az ablakon, mosolyra fakadt.En: Dénes looked out the window and broke into a smile.Hu: Valami új kezdődött számára.En: Something new was beginning for him.Hu: Már nem félt a változástól.En: He was no longer afraid of change.Hu: Az élet kaland lett, és ő készen állt megélni.En: Life had become an adventure, and he was ready to live it.Hu: A vonat zökkenőmentesen haladt a Balaton felé, és Dénes szívét betöltötte a szabadság érzése.En: The train smoothly headed towards Balaton, and Dénes' heart was filled with a sense of freedom.

Chris Chavez and Preet Majithia are back to put a bow on the Commonwealth Games, preview what Josh Kerr does next, assess Jakob Ingebrigtsen's return, dig into the road to World Ultimate Championships, preview U20 Worlds in Eugene, and cover several news stories that got buried.– The Commonwealth Games and its future: Glasgow stepped in as last-minute host after Victoria, Australia pulled out in 2023 citing runaway costs. The result: a smaller-scale games (ten sports instead of the usual 17-18, no road races or triathlon). The core value of the Games — small island nations competing on a multi-sport stage, home nations competing as Scotland/Wales/England/Northern Ireland rather than GB, a stepping stone between junior and Diamond League levels — remains intact.– Men's mile: Josh Kerr gold, 3:54.12: Josh got boxed at 450 out and had to force his way clear, covering extra distance in the process. None of it mattered. His final lap: 53.61. Won by 1.14 seconds over Cam Myers (silver), Timothy Cheruiyot (bronze). Josh is definitively the best miler in the world.– What does Josh Kerr do next? Option A: Zurich Diamond League 1500m world record attempt; Option B: World Ultimate Championships 1500m, Budapest, September, Option C: Fifth Avenue Mile payday (Vote in the Spotify comments section)– Georgia Hunter-Bell wins women's 800m, 1:59.51: Never really challenged. Georgia's first Commonwealth medal. She now has the full set: Olympic medal, world championship medal, European medal, Commonwealth Games medal — all in the last three years.– European Championships women's 800m, August 14th: Keely vs. Audrey Werro rematch: No data on Keely's current fitness — she's been quiet since London. Werro ran a 400m PB of 50.8 at the Swiss champs, jogged a 1:57 800 the same day, and is clearly sharp.– Australia's generational Commonwealth Games: Torrie Lewis and Lachlan Kennedy in the sprints (Kennedy 9.85 national record silver in the rain). Abbey Caldwell, Jess Hull, Claudia Hollingsworth sweep the women's mile 1-2-3. Cam Myers silver behind Josh in the men's mile. Rose Davies 5K/10K double (first Australian woman ever). Ky Robinson medals in both distance events. – Kenya's thinner-than-expected showing: The trend of Kenya's elite distance runners prioritizing the roads is real.– Elise Thorner, women's steeple bronze, 9:05: Personal best in difficult conditions — wind, rain, cold. Judged it perfectly.– Jakob Ingebrigtsen's return — European Championships 5K, August 10th: First race since Tokyo World Championships. Post-surgery in February, no racing all summer. Entered in the 5K only as defending champion (no qualifying time required).– More news stories include: The Brazilian marathoner who went missing for 44 days; 59:11 half marathoner Dennis Kipkemoi Kipkogei to Texas; Oordegem nostalia after Abdihamid Nur and Alicia Monson run well there;– U20 World Championships, Eugene light preview____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSVELOUS: VELOUS makes recovery footwear designed to help runners bounce back faster between sessions.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: A Summer Evening at Halászbástya: The Start of Something New Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-08-05-07-38-20-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A nap már kezdett lebukni a budai hegyek mögött, mikor Zoltán megpillantotta Esztert a Halászbástya előtt.En: The sun was beginning to set behind the Budai hills when Zoltán caught sight of Eszter in front of the Halászbástya.Hu: A levegő tele volt nyári illatokkal, és az épületek homlokzatai arany színben ragyogtak.En: The air was filled with the scents of summer, and the facades of the buildings glowed in a golden hue.Hu: Zoltánnak izzadt a tenyere, szíve gyorsabban vert, de mély levegőt vett, és próbált nyugodt maradni.En: Zoltán's palms were sweaty, his heart was beating faster, but he took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.Hu: - Szia, Zoltán! - köszöntötte Eszter vidáman. - Annyira vártam ezt a napot!En: "Hi, Zoltán!" Eszter greeted him cheerfully. "I've been looking forward to this day so much!"Hu: Zoltán mosolygott. - Én is, Eszter. Örülök, hogy itt vagyunk. A Halászbástya csodálatos hely. Története is érdekes.En: Zoltán smiled. "Me too, Eszter. I'm glad we're here. The Halászbástya is a wonderful place. Its history is fascinating too."Hu: Eszter kíváncsian nézett körül. - Miért építették ezt a helyet?En: Eszter looked around curiously. "Why was this place built?"Hu: - Eredetileg védelmi célokat szolgált - magyarázta Zoltán. - De a mai formáját a 19. század végén kapta. Szerintem gyönyörű a látvány a Dunára.En: "It was originally for defense purposes," explained Zoltán. "But it took its current form at the end of the 19th century. I think the view of the Duna is beautiful."Hu: Ahogy felfelé sétáltak a lépcsőkön, Eszter megérintette a fehér köveket, és elégedettnek tűnt. - Szeretem, hogy egyedülálló keveréke a gótikus és a román stílusnak - mondta.En: As they walked up the steps, Eszter touched the white stones and seemed content. "I love that it's a unique blend of Gothic and Romanesque styles," she said.Hu: Zoltán próbált könnyedebben beszélni. - Én mindig is imádtam a történelmet, de néha… félek, hogy csak unalmas előadásokat tartok.En: Zoltán tried to speak more casually. "I've always loved history, but sometimes… I'm afraid I just give boring lectures."Hu: Eszter nevetett halkan. - Én szeretem hallgatni. De mesélj, mi az, ami még érdekel téged?En: Eszter chuckled softly. "I enjoy listening to you. But tell me, what else interests you?"Hu: Zoltán megkönnyebbült. - Főként az építészetet. Élvezem a régi városrészek hangulatát. De kíváncsi vagyok rád is. Mit szeretsz? Mik a kedvenc helyeid Budapesten?En: Zoltán felt relieved. "Mainly architecture. I enjoy the atmosphere of old city districts. But I'm curious about you too. What do you like? What are your favorite places in Budapest?"Hu: Eszter lágyan elmosolyodott. - Szeretem a múzeumokat és a parkokat. Sokszor járok a Margitszigeten. De régóta szeretnék eljutni ide, a Halászbástyára.En: Eszter smiled gently. "I love museums and parks. I often go to Margitsziget. But I've long wanted to come here, to the Halászbástya."Hu: Ültek a kőkorláton, figyelték a távoli Parlament fényjátékát a vízen. Az este kellemes szellője körülölelte őket, miközben mély beszélgetésbe merültek.En: They sat on the stone railing, watching the distant Parliament light up across the water. The night's gentle breeze enveloped them as they delved into a deep conversation.Hu: Zoltán kezdte magát nyugodtabban érezni. Nem akart már lenyűgözni, csak önmaga lenni. Eszter csillogó szemekkel hallgatta, és megosztotta saját történeteit.En: Zoltán began to feel more at ease. He no longer wanted to impress her, just be himself. Eszter listened with shining eyes and shared her own stories.Hu: - Olyan jó veled lenni - mondta Eszter, amikor búcsúzni készültek. - Remélem, nem ez volt az utolsó találkozásunk.En: "It's so good to be with you," Eszter said as they were about to say goodbye. "I hope this isn't our last meeting."Hu: Zoltán széles mosollyal nézett rá. - Én is így érzem. Szeretném, ha hamarosan újra találkoznánk.En: Zoltán looked at her with a broad smile. "I feel the same way. I'd love for us to meet again soon."Hu: Ahogy elhagyták a Halászbástyát, mindketten érezték, hogy ez még csak egy kezdete lehet valaminek. A kapcsolat erős, és a szívük tele volt reménnyel és lehetőségekkel.En: As they left the Halászbástya, both felt this might just be the beginning of something. The connection was strong, and their hearts were full of hope and possibilities.

Alex sits down with Martin Benes, he is is a longtime coach, historian, and world traveler whose background in history and international affairs brings a comparative perspective to contemporary politics. They explore whether the political dynamics that fueled MAGA are now creating a similar populist movement on the American left, asking whether "the right has Budapest, and the left has Havana." Using Michigan's Democratic Senate primary as a case study, they debate whether frustration with the Democratic establishment is empowering candidates whose foreign policy and ideological instincts could ultimately weaken the party in general elections. Along the way, they compare figures like Tucker Carlson and Hasan Piker, discuss the dangers of political radicalization on both sides, and even rank the Trump family while examining the psychology behind Donald Trump's movement.

Talán így új lendületet kapunk.”En: "Let's investigate the cookie mystery. Maybe it will give us new momentum."Hu: Ezzel elindulnak a közös konyhába, ahol a kekszellátmány talán utoljára látta a napvilágot.En: With this, they head to the communal kitchen, where the cookie supply might have last seen daylight.Hu: Ahogy közelednek, váratlanul hangos nevetés szűrődik ki onnan.En: As they approach, loud laughter unexpectedly filters out.Hu: A rivális csapat tagjai ülnek a pultnál; nassolva társalognak, és körülöttük tejes dobozokkal teli tálcák sorakoznak – közöttük éppenséggel Imréék csokis kekszei is.En: Members of the rival team are sitting at the counter, chatting while snacking, with trays full of milk cartons around them—including Imre's chocolate cookies themselves.Hu: „Oops!” kiált fel Zoltán vigyorogva, miközben a rajtakapott társai furcsán rájuk néznek.En: "Oops!" Zoltán exclaims with a grin, as their caught companions look at them oddly.Hu: „Úgy tűnik, valahogyan összekevertük a készleteinket!”En: "It seems we somehow mixed up our supplies!"Hu: A rivalisok, miután a meglepetésük elül, nevetésben törnek ki.En: The rivals, after their surprise subsides, burst into laughter.Hu: „Úgy látszik, a keksz fontosabb, mint a technológia!” mondja az egyikük.En: "It seems cookies are more important than technology!" says one of them.Hu: Az élénk beszélgetés közben mindkét csapat tagjai rájönnek, hogy nem ártana, ha együtt dolgoznának.En: In the midst of lively conversation, members of both teams realize that it wouldn't hurt to work together.Hu: Így talán még jobb eredményt érnek el.En: This way, they might achieve even better results.Hu: Az eddigi versengés helyett, új terveket kovácsolnak.En: Instead of the previous competition, they forge new plans.Hu: Kiderül, hogy mindkét csapat elképzeléseiben van potenciál, és az ötletek kombinációja felgyorsíthatja a sikerhez vezető utat.En: It turns out that both teams' concepts have potential, and the combination of ideas can accelerate the path to success.Hu: Imre, Enikő és Zoltán valamennyien ráébrednek, hogy az együttműködés és a bolti tészta édessége sokkal élvezetesebbé teszi a munkát.En: Imre, Enikő, and Zoltán all realize that collaboration and the sweetness of store-bought pastries make the work much more enjoyable.Hu: Imre tanult az esetből: néha érdemes körülnézni, észrevenni a kisebb dolgokat is, amik összekötik az embereket – akár egy csokis keksz formájában.En: Imre learns from the incident: sometimes it's worth looking around and noticing the smaller things that connect people—even in the form of a chocolate cookie.Hu: Végül a közös projekt óriási sikert arat, és a csapatok a kezdeti kekszlopás történetével anekdotáznak minden közös munkamegbeszélésen.En: In the end, the joint project achieves huge success, and the teams share anecdotes about the initial cookie theft at every joint work meeting.Hu: A startup inkubátor buzzog még sokszor hasonló szellemiségű ötletektől, ahol az együttműködés az igazi varázspálca.En: The startup incubator continues to buzz with many similar spirited ideas, where collaboration is the real magic wand.

Patrick draws listeners into a discussion where historical controversies, personal stories, and scripture mingle with hard questions about faith, cultural change, and the reality of mass immigration in Europe. He weighs the warning of disinformation in history, considers the resurgence of Catholic youth, and balances calls for Christian hope with the demand for clear-eyed justice and prudent leadership. Through scripture, commentary, and sometimes raw conversation, Patrick keeps the dialogue urgent and human, never letting the issues drift far from daily life. Aaron - The Catholic Church is amazing for its neutrality. (00:28) Nathan - Can you explain 1 Corinthians 6:9-11? (05:30) Susanne - In the office of readings, St. Augustine says something about keep going. 'Keep going, keep on making progress' (08:51) Francisco - I wanted to comment on Spain.

I loved how authentically Catholic they were. (27:48) Victoria - The cultural change in Spain and the socio-cultural movements happening whether they are supported by government or not. I think we also need to look at the situations that provoke migrations. There are still Catholics in Spain. We are not in the business of colonizing; it is about salvation.

Matthew Longo, The Picnic: A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain. The focus shifts from political elites to young activists in the Hungarian "borderlands." In late June 1989, inspired by a speech from Otto von Habsburg, a young woman named Maria and a man named Ferenc hatch an audacious plan in the city of Debrecen: they will throw a party—the Pan-European Picnic—at the Iron Curtain itself. Maria, showing incredible initiative in a country with few phones, begins calling government officials and border guards to organize the event. The original vision for the picnic was "euphorically ignorant": the organizers imagined a thin fence where Hungarians and Austrians could pass sausages and beer to one another. In reality, the Iron Curtain was a "death zone" several kilometers wide, filled with watchtowers, dogs, and layers of fencing. However, the process of de-electrifying and dismantling the fence was moving faster than expected. The organizers eventually secured a location near the town of Sopron and convinced the authorities to allow a one-time-only opening of a border gate, allowing Austrians to cross into Hungary to celebrate "European togetherness." (2)1930 BUDAPEST
Matthew Longo, The Picnic: A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain. As the picnic date of August 19, 1989, approaches, the atmosphere is "fraught" with tension. Thousands of East Germans (GDR) have flooded into Hungary, pretending to be on summer vacation but actually acting as refugees hoping for a chance to cross into the West. They camp at places like Ferto Rakos, where they are stalked by Stasi informers who take down names and instill terror. Meanwhile, in Budapest, Miklos Nemeth and other reformers view the picnic as "Operation Human Shield"—a test to see if the nearby Soviet army will intervene. On the day of the picnic, two unlikely heroes emerge: Norbert, a hard-drinking West German adventurer with a scars-and-mercenary past, and Agnes, an elderly local woman. Because Norbert has a West German passport and Agnes is too old to fear the state, they act as "guardian angels," helping terrified East Germans navigate the borderlands. The event itself is chaotic and plagued by rain, resembling a "Woodstock" in the woods. When a mass of nearly a thousand East Germans suddenly rushes the border gate, a moment of extreme panic occurs as champagne bottles pop; many refugees, conditioned by fear, mistake the sound for gunshots. However, the Hungarian border guards make a "tremendous moral choice" not to shoot, allowing the mass of people to flee into Austriawithout a single drop of bloodshed. (3)1956
Tommy and Ben are back with a week of war, drama over an international bridge, and an angry Norwegian World Cup fan.First up, the guys say farewell to the ceasefire between Iran and the US, hello to a new forever war, and analyze how a rushed, sloppily worded agreement negotiated by Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff collapsed. The New York Times reveals the details of Israel's embarrassing failed plot to install former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as Iran's new president, including a fake climate conference in Budapest and a Mossad extraction plan. Trump is using questions about the new Qatari gifted Air Force One to attack reporters and a $4.7 billion bridge connecting Detroit to Canada is at the center of another Trump corruption story. In Venezuela, the earthquake death toll has climbed to nearly 4,500, and reporting confirms that Marco Rubio is essentially running the country from Washington. A Cambridge University study reveals that Boko Haram fighters have been using AI chatbots to design explosives and plan attacks. After the NATO summit in Turkey, President Erdogan gave every leader a vintage pistol with live ammo as a parting gift, and a single Norwegian man calls out the historical inaccuracies of the row by World Cup fans. Then Ben speaks to Congressman Ro Khanna about his trip to the West Bank and his detention by Israeli settlers.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
