In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers President Trump's trade breakthroughs in Asia, new peace nominations, Argentina's election victory, France's jewel heist, Gaza's fragile ceasefire, and the rising threat of war in Venezuela.   Trump Secures Major Deals in Asia: The President finalized key agreements with China to curb fentanyl exports, purchase American soybeans, and delay rare earth export controls. The two leaders also agreed on a new ownership plan for TikTok. Trump is meeting regional leaders this week as part of a broader push to reassert U.S. influence in Southeast Asia.   Thailand and Cambodia Sign Peace Accords: After months of diplomacy, Trump brokered a deal between the two nations that ends their border tensions. Both leaders have nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. The White House also announced new tariff cuts on trade with Malaysia and Thailand.   Argentina Turns Right: President Javier Milei's sweeping election victory delivered a major win for Trump's foreign policy and a defeat for socialism in South America. The result validates Trump's $40 billion aid gamble and boosts U.S. influence in the region.   French Crown Jewels Stolen by Migrants: Two suspects from Paris's migrant suburbs were arrested for the $100 million Louvre jewel heist. The theft has reignited France's immigration debate, with populists calling for deportations and leftists insisting on “inclusive empathy.” Bryan says, “It's not just jewels they stole — it's France's history.”   Gaza Ceasefire Under Strain: Hamas continues to withhold bodies of murdered hostages as Trump warns of consequences within 48 hours. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed Western and Arab intelligence stopped a planned massacre of rival Palestinian clans.   U.S. Warships Mass Near Venezuela: The USS Gravely and the Gerald Ford Strike Group have entered the Caribbean alongside elite Marine and Army units. Analysts believe Trump may soon order strikes against Venezuela's narco regime or its foreign backers from Russia, Iran, and China.   Looking Ahead: Bryan previews stories on China's economic collapse, U.S. military advances in drone warfare, and a $130 million private donation funding American troops during the shutdown.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump China trade deal fentanyl soybeans, Thailand Cambodia peace accord Nobel nomination, Javier Milei Argentina election victory, Louvre jewel heist migrant suspects, Gaza ceasefire Hamas hostages, Venezuela warships USS Gravely Gerald Ford, Trump Venezuela strikes Russia Iran China, U.S. Southeast Asia trade influence

The 1977 murder of Father Rutilio Grande sent shockwaves through El Salvador. The 48-year-old Jesuit priest was an outspoken champion of the poor in the deeply divided central American nation. In the immediate aftermath of his murder, the Archbishop of San Salvador, Oscar Romero, took the unprecedented step of holding just one single mass, ordering all other churches in his archdiocese to cancel theirs. Romero also refused to attend any government functions. Father Grande was one of the first priests to be killed by security forces in the years leading up to the bloody Salvadoran civil war. His murder marked a turning point as the church became increasingly involved in promoting social justice, and other priests became more outspoken against the government's repression of dissent. Mike Lanchin has been hearing from Gabina Dubon, who worked with Father Grande in his rural parish, and to theologian and author, SisterAna Maria Pineda. This is a CTVC production for BBC World Service.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.

What Happened to the Missing Louvre Treasures? The pressure on French law enforcement was immense. This wasn't just a robbery; it was a national embarrassment.

World War II hero Phil Larimore remains the youngest candidate to ever graduate from Army Officer Training School, which he did at the age of seventeen, on the eve of America's involvement in World War II. Landing on the Anzio beachhead in February 1944, Phil – the youngest commissioned US officer in World War II – was put in charge of an Ammunition Pioneer Platoon of the 3rd Infantry Division. Their job: to deliver ammunition to the frontline foxholes—a dangerous assignment involving regular forays into No Man's Land. As Phil fought his way up the Italian boot, into Southern France and across the Rhine River into Germany, he experienced some of the most intense combat ever. But it was what happened in the final stages of the war, when Phil was sent on a secret mission into Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia to find the farm where Hitler was hiding his world-famous Lipizzaner stallions that makes his story incredibly special and is  the ultimate expression of Phil Larimore's life-long love of horses. Like so many veterans of that “greatest generation,” Phil didn't talk much about his war experiences until much later in life, and when he did his stories seemed outrageous to his family and his sons. After his death, his son and our guest Dr. Walt Larimore discovered his father's papers in the attic—and learned that his father's stories were all true. In this episode, Dr. Larimore describes his father's remarkable service to his country, including meeting Eisenhower, losing his leg, fighting to stay in the army, and being awarded  the Distinguished Service Cross, two silver stars, two bronze stars, three Purple Hearts, the Medal of France, the Crois du Garde with a palm, and more. All of this and more is described in Dr. Walt Larimore's remarkable book At First Light.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

A migrant sex offender who was wrongly released from prison and spent two days at large in Essex and London is now back behind bars. Hadush Kebatu - who was jailed for 12 months in September - was freed instead of being sent to an immigration detention centre. In other news, the health secretary Wes Streeting has accused the Reform UK MP, Sarah Pochin, of using "racist" language after she complained that adverts were "full of black and Asian people". And two people have been arrested in connection with the theft of France's crown jewels from the Louvre museum in Paris last weekend.

Though the Revolutionary War didn't officially end until September 1783 with the signing of the Treaty of Paris, a key turning point in the war for independence occurred six years earlier in a small corner of today's New York state. The Battle of Saratoga stretched out from September 19 until October 7, 1777, and marked the first time the British Empire had been forced to surrender. British General John Burgoyne had stretched his forces too thin in marching down from Canada with the intent of capturing Albany and wound up with huge losses in his army of nearly 7,000. His defeat at the hands of Major General Horatio Gates and General Benedict Arnold greatly raised American hopes to gain independence and convinced France to come to the colonials' aid. The story of how the British surrender came about is told at Saratoga National Historical Park near today's Stillwater, New York. To help us better understand the battles, we're joined today by Lauren Roberts, the historian at Saratoga County, New York, and Traveler Contributing Editor Kim O'Connell, who recently visited the historical park.

La poétique du souvenir avec Yasmine Hamdan (Liban) et Christine Zayed (Palestine). Yasmine Hamdan est notre 1ère invitée pour la sortie de son 3ème album I Remember I Forget Yasmine Hamdan a d'abord surgi sur la scène musicale avec la formation indie électronique pionnière Soapkills, formée avec Zeid Hamdan dans le Beyrouth de la fin des années 90. Le répertoire entêtant et irrévérencieux du duo ainsi que ses visuels auront rayonné créativement à travers le monde arabe et au-delà, culminant avec une anthologie en 2015. Après s'être installée à Paris en 2005, la musicienne collabore avec le producteur Mirwais (ex-Taxi Girl et producteur de Madonna) pour le projet Y.A.S., à l'origine d'un album dansant et raffiné, Arabology, paru chez Universal en 2009. Depuis, elle s'est fait un nom au-delà des frontières en tant qu'autrice-compositrice et productrice solo, entrelaçant avec élégance des univers éloignés comme la poésie, la pop et la tradition panarabe, l'electronica, la soul ou encore la guitar music. Elle a collaboré avec des cinéastes de tous horizons tels que Elia Suleiman, Jim Jarmusch (chantant notamment à l'écran dans le film de 2013 Only Lovers Left Alive), Daniele Arbid ou Ghassan Salhab, et a joué au sein de projets collectifs majeurs comme Africa Express. En solo, Yasmine Hamdan a sorti un premier disque en 2013, Ya Nass, un en 2017, Al Jamilat, et à présent son troisième album I Remember I Forget, co-produit aux côtés de son collaborateur de longue date Marc Collin (Nouvelle Vague). La mémoire est une force sans pareille. I Remember I Forget [Je me souviens que j'oublie] succède à deux disques solo salués à l'international, Ya Nass (2013) et Al Jamila (2017). L'album scelle la réputation de Yasmine Hamdan en tant que conteuse talentueuse, performeuse captivante et défricheuse indépendante. L'artiste polyglotte, née à Beyrouth et installée à Paris, a toujours mêlé dans sa musique l'intime, le poétique et la politique, souvent avec un humour vif, puisant ses influences dans les dialectes et sonorités du monde pan-arabe et d'ailleurs. C'est plus que jamais le cas sur ce nouvel album, un ensemble de chants de beauté et de fureur légitime, forgé dans le tumulte de crises mondiales, notamment l'explosion en 2020 du port de Beyrouth et l'effondrement économique du Liban (désastre financier qui aura protégé l'élite aux dépens du plus grand nombre). Dans un monde moderne de plus en plus fracturé, les prises de parole de Yasmine Hamdan semblent plus vitales que jamais. «Pour cet album, je voulais m'attacher à un lieu spécifique — et il fallait que ce soit le Liban», explique Yasmine Hamdan. «Mon lien avec le Liban et ce qui lui est arrivé a constitué le terreau à partir duquel j'ai commencé à écrire et composer l'album. Cependant, au fur et à mesure du processus créatif, cet endroit est devenu un symbole, une métaphore, une catharsis pour ce qui se passe plus largement dans le monde et à travers l'expérience collective.»  «En dépit de la douleur ressentie devant ce qui est infligé à mon lieu de naissance, s'est installé peu à peu un sentiment de tendresse, de familiarité, ce qui m'a apporté de l'espoir et de l'inspiration. Beyrouth a certainement continué à être généreuse avec moi», raconte-t-elle. Yasmine Hamdan s'est ainsi attelée à l'écriture des chansons, renouant pour l'occasion avec un collaborateur de longue date, Marc Collin (Nouvelle Vague). I Remember I Forget a été produit sous la tutelle de leurs labels respectifs, Hamdanistan et Kwaidan, et paraît chez Crammed Discs / [PIAS].   Titres joués durant l'entretien : I Remember I Forget, Shmaali, Shadia et The Beautiful Losers. ► Album I Remember I Forget (Crammed Discs / [PIAS] 2025). Site Yasmine Hamdan - Bandcamp. YouTube. Actu concert 18 mars, Paris Le Trianon.   Puis la #SessionLive reçoit Christine Zayed pour l'album Kama Kuntu. Née dans une famille mélomane de Palestine, élevée entre Jérusalem et Ramallah, Christine Zayed est une chanteuse, une compositrice et une instrumentiste, virtuose du qanûn. Elle a été initiée dès son plus jeune âge à la musique arabe classique et contemporaine, ainsi qu'à la musique traditionnelle palestinienne. Son répertoire s'appuie principalement sur la musique arabe classique, basée sur le maqam (la science et la pratique de l'improvisation modale arabe), et sur la poésie arabe, en particulier la poésie palestinienne contemporaine. Ses compositions, fortement ancrées dans la tradition, sont résolument contemporaines, recherchant les chemins de la modernité dans le croisement avec d'autres univers musicaux. Elle vit et travaille en France depuis quelques années et collabore à de multiples projets, notamment au sein de l'Ensemble Chakâm ou du groupe Atine. Elle se produit en solo ou en trio avec le flûtiste Sylvain Barou et le percussionniste Habib Meftah interprétant un répertoire que l'on retrouve dans son premier album, Kama Kuntu («Ce que j'étais»). On y croise plusieurs invités, notamment Piers Faccini. Titres interprétés au grand studio : - Avant que je photographie les oiseaux, Live RFI - Animal, Feat. Piers Faccini, extrait de l'album  - Ghalimi Live RFI. Line Up : Christine Zayed (qanûn, chant), Sylvain Barou (flûtes, duduk) et Habib Meftah (percussions) Son : Mathias Taylor, Benoît Letirant. ► Album Kama Kuntu (T-Rec 2024). Site - YouTube.

In May 1974, scratch cards went on sale for the first time in the US State of Massachusetts. Free giveaway and coupon games from stores had been commonplace across the USA during the 1950s and '60s – but players could easily cheat. The mathematician John Koza was hired to make the games more secure; he succeeded in making the modern-day scratch card. He tells Johnny I'Anson how he convinced the state-run lotteries to use his invention to offer cash prizes. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from the death of Adolf Hitler, the first spacewalk and the making of the movie Jaws, to celebrity tortoise Lonesome George, the Kobe earthquake and the invention of superglue. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: Eva Peron – Argentina's Evita; President Ronald Reagan and his famous ‘tear down this wall' speech; Thomas Keneally on why he wrote Schindler's List; and Jacques Derrida, France's ‘rock star' philosopher. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the civil rights swimming protest; the disastrous D-Day rehearsal; and the death of one of the world's oldest languages.(Photo: The original scratch card.

Dimanche 19 octobre, à 9h34, grâce à un camion monte-charge, deux braqueurs pénètrent dans la galerie d'Apollon du Louvre. Ils dérobent broche, diadèmes, colliers, et boucles d'oreilles. Pendant ce temps, les visiteurs sont évacués par les agents du musée. Les voleurs prennent la fuite à 9h38, mais perdent dans la précipitation certains bijoux, ainsi qu'un casque et un gant.

In a programme first broadcast in 2017, Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the political philosophy of Hannah Arendt. She developed many of her ideas in response to the rise of totalitarianism in the C20th, partly informed by her own experience as a Jew in Nazi Germany before her escape to France and then America. She wanted to understand how politics had taken such a disastrous turn and, drawing on ideas of Greek philosophers as well as her peers, what might be done to create a better political life. Often unsettling, she wrote of 'the banality of evil' when covering the trial of Eichmann, one of the organisers of the Holocaust.With Lyndsey Stonebridge Professor of Modern Literature and History at the University of East Anglia Frisbee Sheffield Lecturer in Philosophy at Girton College, University of CambridgeandRobert Eaglestone Professor of Contemporary Literature and Thought at Royal Holloway, University London Producer: Simon Tillotson.

In the 1980s, scientists made a discovery that would eventually lead to the development of drugs now used worldwide to treat diabetes and to help people manage obesity through weight loss injections.One of the key scientists behind this breakthrough was Svetlana Mojsov. She discovered that a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) plays an important role in how our bodies respond to food. Svetlana's work laid the foundation for a drug company to develop treatments based on GLP-1 — first for type 2 diabetes, and later for weight loss.
