A native of Sète in Southern France, Rio's fascination with disco music began at an early age. A renowned producer, DJ and label owner, Rio has taken this passion to become one of the House music industry's major players. Discovering House music in the 90s, pushed Rio behind the decks, crossing paths with DJs Brown Sugar and Niko De Luka, with whom he founded the label Suka Records back in 2008. By 2012, Rio joined the might Stuttgart-based music group, HOUSESSESION; it was here that he created his own label, VAMOS MUSIC. Signing well-renowned artists on the scene including the likes of: Robbie Riviera, Ron Carroll, Cece Peniston, Federico Scavo, Robin S, Peter Gelderblom and Antoine Clamaran to name a few, has seen the label grow and become a force to be reckoned with, its releases regularly feature on Beatport. Alongside the main label, Rio promotes his music with his very own Vamos radio show, broadcast internationally, notably on IBIZA RADIO ONE. More recently Rio has branched out with sublabels, CHECK IN RECORDINGS, catering to the underground market and VAMOS TALENTS, providing a platform for new and emerging artists. As an artist, Rio's productions have received support from the likes of legendary New York DJ Roger Sanchez, Mark Knight and David Guetta. His unique blend of Latin and Disco inflected sounds has seen his flagship track “EN EL MAR” released on BOB SINCLAR's YELLOW PRODUCTIONS / AFRICANISM label, alongside other releases on major industry labels including: David Penn's Urbana Recordings, Stealth, Pacha, Subliminal, and the mighty TOOLROOM. An international DJ, Rio's sets encompass Deep House, House to Tech House and a touch of tribal. A member of the IBIZA WORLD CLUB TOUR, and representing the Spanish Brand BACCANALI IBIZA, has seen him play globally and across Europe. From regular appearances on the line-up of London's La Divina to the blissful sunshine of the White Isle's famous Bora Bora Beach, IBIZA, Rio is a mainstay on the scene. A talented producer, Rio released his own album, LIVE 4 2 DAY, back in 2015 on HOUSESESSIONS. He followed this up with ALL ABOUT US (2016) and WE ARE ALL THE SAME, both released on his VAMOS imprint. These releases cemented him as production tour-de-force, regularly landing him in the Beatport top 100. One notable track was “Yo Me Voy”, a collaboration with DJ Kone & Marc Palacios, which neared the Beatport top 10. Fast forward to today, Rio is exploring South American flavours, fusing tribal and tech house vibes in his latest collaboration with Colombian producer DJ Wady. With his finger firmly on the pulse of current trends, summer 2020 has seen the launch of MARIN MUSIC, a collaboration with French publisher KAA PRODUCTION, which focuses purely on streaming platforms. An accomplished artist, DJ and producer, Rio is constantly evolving and continuing to deliver solid productions and mesmerising DJ sets.

In September, The Intercept broke the story of the U.S. military ordering an additional strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean.Since then, U.S. boat strikes have expanded to the Pacific Ocean. The Intercept has documented 22 strikes as of early December that have killed at least 87 people. Alejandro Carranza Medina, a Colombian national, was one of the dozens of people killed in these strikes. His family says he was just out fishing for marlin and tuna when U.S. forces attacked his boat on September 15. On behalf of Medina's family, attorney Dan Kovalik has filed a formal complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.“We're bringing a petition alleging that the U.S. violated the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man, in particular, the right to life, the right to due process, the right to trial, and we're seeking compensation from the United States for the family of Alejandro Carranza, as well as injunctive relief, asking that the U.S. stop these bombings,” Kovalik told The Intercept.In the midst of this massive scandal, the so-called Department of War is cracking down on journalists' ability to cover U.S. military actions. Back in October, Secretary Pete Hegseth introduced major new restrictions on reporters covering the Pentagon. In order to maintain press credentials to enter the Pentagon, journalists would have to sign a 17-page pledge committing to the new rules limiting press corps reporting to explicitly authorized information, including a promise to not gather or seek information the department has not officially released.This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Jessica Washington speaks to Kovalik about Medina's case. Intercept senior reporterNick Turse and Gregg Leslie, executive director of the First Amendment Clinic at Arizona State University Law, also join Washington to discuss the strikes off the coast of Latin America, subsequent attacks on shipwrecked survivors, and the administration's response to reporting on U.S. forces and the Pentagon.Leslie raised concerns about the administration's attempts to erase press freedoms. “It's just that fundamental issue of, who gets to cover the government? Is it only government-sanctioned information that gets out to the people, or is it people working on behalf of the United States public who get to really hold people to account and dive deep for greater information? And all of that is being compromised, if there's an administration that says, ‘We get to completely put a chokehold on any information that we don't want to be released,'” says Leslie. “You just don't have a free press if you have to pledge that you're not going to give away information just because it hasn't been cleared. It just shouldn't work that way, and it hasn't worked that way. And it's frightening that we've gotten an administration trying to make that the norm.”With a president who regularly targets journalists and critics, Turse adds, “What's to stop a lawless president from killing people in America that he deems to be domestic terrorists? … These boat strikes, the murders of people convicted of no crimes, if they become accepted as normal. There's really nothing to stop the president from launching such attacks within the United States.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing onApple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.You can support our work at theintercept.com/join.

Some wondered what this means for future relations and whether the US was attempting to meddle in European politics. First a review of what the new National Security Strategy says and does not say. Then analysis with DWs US Bureau Chief Ines Pohl. She points out that the document has not gotten massive attention as it has in Europe, and that the US appears to take sides with the far right political parties in many EU nations. She discusses the documents term civilizational erasure and the loss of identity from large immigration. From FRANCE- An interview with Christopher Sabatini, a senior fellow at Chatham House in London. They discuss the situation of the US military killing alleged drug runners and now, boarding and seizing an oil tanker moving Venezuelan oil. Is the flow of drugs from the country a key factor in the use of the military, or is it oil or regime change. Christopher talks about the illegality of US actions and that seizing their oil would hurt the US economy. From CUBA- Many in Honduras are saying the recent presidential election results were manipulated with US influence. The Colombian government accused the US of carrying out technical sabotage against Venezuelan airspace including deceptive signals and altering GPS systems. At least 21,000 Palestinian children are disabled or mutilated from the Israeli war on Gaza. From JAPAN- Japan is considering expanding its surcharge income tax on the so-called ultra-wealthy, from those making $19 million to those making $4 million.

Hello and welcome to episode 209 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast. I am Chris Kirkbride. In this episode, the UK has imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia's GRU following the conclusion of the Salisbury poisoning inquiry, and implements dual sanctions targeting both malicious cyber actors and entities destabilising Ukraine. Australia has launched a world-first autonomous sanctions framework against key Taliban leaders, while the US Treasury sanctioned a transnational network primarily composed of Colombian nationals for recruiting fighters for Sudan's Rapid Support Forces. On corruption, in the UK, the government unveiled its comprehensive Anti-Corruption Strategy 2025, and world anti-corruption day has been marked by a range of global agencies. Fraud concerns were highlighted by the US recovering nearly $1.7 million in cryptocurrency stolen through a sophisticated investment scam, and a UK report reveals that taxpayers lost £10.9 billion to Covid support scheme fraud and error. Finally, regulatory enforcement targeted the financial sector, as FinCEN imposed a $3.5 million penalty on Paxful for wilfully violating the Bank Secrecy Act.A transcript of this podcast, with links to the stories, will be available at www.crimes.financial.

This episode with Dr. David McCarty-Caplan touches on so many profound and heartfelt areas, carried by the radical vulnerability, honesty, and compassion he brings to the conversation. David generously shares about his reunion with his Colombian birth family-- first on his own, and later with his children and partner. We explore how his kids embraced reunion and modeled openness, curiosity and love with his family, and how their presence and perspective helped guide and teach him throughout the process. David also reflects on his identity as a Jewish Colombian adoptee and his powerful work community building with and for Jewish adoptees of color.  Dr. David McCarty-Caplan BioDr. David McCarty-Caplan (PhD) is a researcher, educator, writer, and consultant whose work sits at the intersection of identity, belonging, and social justice. Born in Bogotá, Colombia and adopted into a white Jewish family in the United States, David's life has been shaped by questions of race, family, and home. These experiences continue to inform his passion for helping adoptees and their families navigate the complex layers of identity, racism, and connection that often accompany adoption. Drawing on his background as a social work researcher and educator, David brings both personal insight and professional rigor to his work with organizations, communities, and families. He is especially interested in how people and institutions can create spaces where all feel seen and valued. David lives in Los Angeles with his wife and their two children, ages 12 and 10. As a husband, father, and adoptee, he is continually exploring what it means to nurture belonging — in his family, in his work, and in the broader world.https://www.shadesofbelonging.com/Co-Hosts: Nari Baker & Robyn ParkMusic: Mike Marlatt & Paul GulledgeAudio Production: Frederico Soler FernándezArtwork: Dalhe KimListen on: iTunes & SpotifyInstagram: @laboroflovepodcastSupport via Venmo: @laboroflovepodcast

The Magdalena River has been the central artery of Colombia's history: it was the path of colonization as well as of commercial circulation linking the coast to the interior. But it was also the site and product of racialized violence from slavery to the Colombian armed conflict in the 20th century, when parts of the Magdalena became almost synonymous with paramilitary violence and the river itself was declared a victim of the armed conflict. The paramilitaries demobilized in 2005 and then peace was signed with the FARC guerrillas in 2016; shortly after,a state-backed megaproject was announced that would transform the waterway into a logistics corridor, linking the logics of security and circulation with those of pacification. Our guest today, Austin Zeiderman, is the author of Artery: Racial Ecologies on Colombia's Magdalena River. While Zeiderman may have originally set out to study a logistics corridor, what he found was an even richer study about the historical and contemporary co-production of race, capital and space along the country's central fluvial artery. An anthropologist and geographer, Zeiderman applies an ethnographer's approach to the situated practices both ofpower and resistance. He takes us close to the companies managing the logistics sector, their actuarial logics of security and risk, and imperatives of circulation. At the same time, Austin details the life inside a tow-boat, the way gender, race and labor have historically interacted from the old bogas boats to the present day, and the way tacit knowledge resists the fungibility of racialized labor even today. We are a podcast about cities, and precisely for this reason, I wanted to highlight the invisible labor that circulates goods and fuels in and out of our urban hubs, which more often than not, have turned their backs on their nearest ports.  Books like Austin's – which center the long lives of logistics and their embeddedness in what Austin calls “geo-racial regimes” – are indispensable for understanding the broader forces which shape Latin American cities. Austin Zeiderman is Professor of Geography in the Department of Geography and Environment at the London School of Economics. He is an interdisciplinary scholar who specializes in the social and political dimensions of urbanization and the environment in Latin America, and holds a PhD in Anthropology from Stanford University.My cohost is Robinson Markus. Robbie is a PhD student in urban planning at UCLA, has a masters in Sociology from LSE, and studies the intersections between housing and climate change in Latin America. Keep in mind that Robbie's audio had some difficulties, so we don't hear as much from him as we should have!

This week on the Mark Levin Show, Venezuela's regime, allied with communist China, Iran, and others, is deliberately poisoning the U.S. through drugs, contributing to hundreds of thousands of American deaths, making inaction absurd. The war crime claims from Democrats, from a denied report on killing drug boat survivors, are ridiculous. Today's Venezuela situation is similar to the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama via Operation Just Cause—a surprise attack without war declaration or prior congressional input due to leak fears—to oust drug lord Manuel Noriega, who partnered with Colombians to flood the U.S. with drugs, while restoring democracy and safeguarding Americans. History teaches us and helps demonstrate what patriotism is. But how can we demand patriotism from immigrants when we have American citizens on the neo-fascist right who trash our history? These people are not America first. How can they be America first when they don't understand our history, or founding? Republicans are going to get their butts kicked in the next election if they succeed. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is doing an excellent job. That's why the hate America Democrats relentlessly attack him. They need to get the hell off his back and condemn our enemies instead! Most of the media are criticizing U.S. attacks on Venezuelan drug boats as illegal with cherry picked experts who don't specify what law was violated or rely on vague arguments. It's an act of war when Venezuela sends in toxic drugs to America. It's odd that the Democrats and some RINO's first instinct is to attack Pete Hegseth and not the enemy. The more they hate you the more effective you are. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Sweden has been in the news recently in Colombia. Yes, Ikea has been establishing a presence in Bogotá and Medellín, and the Grupo Familia consumer packaged goods company is now part of Essity, but notably, Colombia has chosen to upgrade its 1970s era tactical fighters with Saab Gripen fighter jets manufactured in Sweden. The price tag has not been announced on the deal, but several years ago, the Colombian government had earmarked $678 million USD equivalent in the national budget for the aircraft acquisition. What many people may be unaware of though, is that the countries have a 150 year bilateral diplomatic history together. The countries' ties go far beyond merely commercial ventures. A 19th century Swede even was appointed governor by the fledgeling government after Colombia gained independence from Spain. Sweden has several cultural, peace-building, civil society, and humanitarian initiatives both in Colombia and throughout the Andean region. Ambassador Helena Storm made time in her busy schedule to speak with Loren Moss, the executive editor of Finance Colombia, where they discussed the bilateral relationship, Storm's impressions of the country over her time here, and the potential for deepening ties between the two countries.See the whole article here: https://www.financecolombia.com/ambas...Read more at Finance Colombia: https://www.financecolombia.com/Subscribe to Finance Colombia for free: https://www.fcsubscribe.com/More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/writeContact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-un...Read more at Finance Colombia: https://www.financecolombia.com/ Subscribe to Finance Colombia for free: https://www.fcsubscribe.com/ Read more at Cognitive Business News: https://cognitivebusiness.news/ The place for bilingual talent! https://empleobilingue.com/ More about Loren Moss: https://lorenmoss.com/write Contact us: https://unidodigital.media/contact-unido-digital-llc/

When people debate terrorism, cartel violence, insurgency, or the so-called war on drugs, they usually argue morality — who is good, who is evil, who is defending civilization, who is poisoning it. But morality, for all its emotional voltage, explains almost nothing. What explains far more is power — who has it, who wants it, and who steps in when the official architecture of governance collapses or simply stops caring. The line between freedom fighter and terrorist, protector and predator, patriot and criminal, isn't drawn by ethics. It's drawn by legitimacy — and legitimacy is an asset backed not by universal truth but by narrative control.In this episode, we explore the three-layer structure that exists in every conflict zone, every “failed state,” and, increasingly, every major American city. There is the official government, the one on paper, the one with flags, seals, and press briefings. There is the shadow authority, the unofficial power that feeds the hungry, settles disputes, provides jobs and revenge and punishment. Then there is the outside force — the state that flies drones overhead, signs extradition orders, raids safe houses, or sends special operators to kick down doors at 3 AM and drag someone out as the neighbors silently watch through blinds.Overseas this looks like Marines patrolling Helmand, tribes negotiating in back rooms, and politicians promising order they cannot enforce. At home it looks like city councils, street crews, and federal task forces — each claiming jurisdiction, none fully in control. The actors change — militants, cartels, militias, gangs, extremist networks — but the logic doesn't. Wherever the state fails, someone else shows up with cash or guns. Often with both. And once people become reliant on the parallel system that pays them, protects them, or threatens them, the question of “who is the terrorist” depends entirely on who is holding the microphone that day.We also dismantle one of the most stubborn myths: that non-state actors are monsters operating outside the logic of community. They are not. They are community solutions — brutal, corrupt, violent solutions — but solutions to real needs that governments ignored or failed to address. The drug boss who funds funerals and buys school supplies is not benevolent. But he is present, and presence is power. The insurgent who promises justice through the barrel of a rifle may be wrong — but he is visible when the courthouse is closed and the state has barricaded itself behind armored glass.Meanwhile the state — whether American, British, Colombian, Nigerian, or otherwise — justifies its own violence by insisting its enemies are less legitimate, less human, less deserving of due process. A Hellfire missile operates with extraordinary precision; the story wrapped around it is far less precise. A speedboat blown up in international waters can be framed as a surgical strike — or the execution of civilians who chose the wrong employer. The semantics hide what the debris cannot.The question isn't whether these parallel power systems are good or bad — they are almost always both. The question is simpler and far more uncomfortable: If the state was delivering what people needed, would those systems exist at all? Or do they persist because the official promise of order, safety, and opportunity became a slogan instead of a contract?In this episode, we don't excuse the violence. We don't romanticize the outlaws. We don't exonerate the state. We simply acknowledge the ecosystem as it exists — not as we'd like to pretend it does.Because one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. One neighborhood's gang is another neighborhood's protection service. One nation's war on terror is another nation's foreign invasion. And when systems fail, the labels become weapons, the violence becomes currency, and the people caught in between learn quickly that survival is rarely ideological — it's transactional.

Episode 216 of The Adventure Podcast is Part Two of the conversation with Charlie Reynolds. If you've not listened to the first half, go back to episode 215. We start this episode where left off, on a canoe in the waves after a brutal storm. Matt and Charlie continue unpacking his extraordinary journey, and several near misses, through South America. They dig into what those moments taught Charlie about instinct, trust, risk, and why some of his most meaningful insights came from silence rather than adrenaline. Charlie speaks openly about the emotional crash that followed his expedition. The hollow feeling of coming home, how identity becomes intertwined with extreme experiences, and why the aftermath can sometimes be the hardest to navigate. It's an episode packed full of adventure - from crossing an abandoned railway bridge with a no-fall zone, to accidentally befriending illegal gold miners, being robbed at knifepoint while camped in the mountains, and spending hours stuck in volcanic mud between two enormous Ecuadorian volcanoes - its a ride and a half. If Part 1 was about the catalyst that launched him, Part 2 is the proof that once Charlie started chasing uncertainty, the world kept handing him more.Chapter Breakdown00:00:00-00:05:00: Charlie arrives exhausted in Bogotá, sleeps for days, and rebuilds his bike setup before launching into the second half of the journey.00:12:50-00:15:25: He describes arriving in Colombia soaked, gear ruined.00:22:07-00:24:50: Charlie tells Matt about riding across a terrifying abandoned railway viaduct - narrow, unsupported, rattling, and suspended high above a Colombian river.00:31:04-00:33:51: He recounts being approached by armed miners who ended up asking for drone shots, following him on Instagram, and turning what could have been a dangerous situation into a strangely wholesome encounter.00:34:14-00:36:35: Riding south, he meets Diego, who gives him a list of spicy routes, including one that would become one of his biggest “struggle-fests” of the whole expedition.00:36:35-00:38:35: Charlie explains the notorious volcanic mud route.00:40:15-00:42:33: He describes camping in freezing marshland beneath Chimborazo, eating frozen tuna-rice for breakfast, and spending hours trying to haul his 200kg bike up a slope.00:46:04-00:48:28: With an injured leg and almost no energy, Charlie sends a single InReach message home.00:49:52-00:52:14: He recounts being robbed by men who spent hours at his tent demanding money.00:59:38-01:01:32: A detour with a friend ends in them burying a rental car deep in a canyon01:07:16-01:08:24: As he reaches southern South America, the adventure becomes less intense, but not less meaningful.01:08:42-01:11:47: Worried about losing momentum and returning to rent-paying normality, Charlie impulsively buys an old expedition truck in Quebec and limps it across North America with almost no money.01:11:47-End; Charlie reflects on how the journey has rewired him.For extra insights from the worlds of adventure, exploration and the natural world, you can find The Adventure Podcast+ community on Substack.

Jessa and Nico return from their visit to Ireland. All along the way, the subject of whether or not Ireland should be united kept coming up. But beyond the slogans and the bad ideas, there are very real issues at work, tedious and boring but also tremendously consequential. Nico reflects on the influence the Northern Ireland peace agreement had on Colombian politics, Jessa discusses how social media creates a false sense of consensus, and they both worry about our decreased ability to manage complexity in political issues.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira continues to make waves as she powers through the final stretch of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour. As of today, Wednesday December third, the Colombian superstar is currently performing her South American leg, with shows scheduled in Montevideo at Estadio Centenario tonight and tomorrow night. Following those dates, she'll head to Buenos Aires for multiple performances at Estadio Velez Sarsfield from December eighth through eleventh, then Cordoba on December fourteenth.Looking ahead to the holiday season, Shakira has announced an exciting intimate venue pivot. She's bringing her Up Close and Personal concert series to Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Due to overwhelming demand, a third show has been added to the original two performances scheduled for December twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth, with the additional date set for Monday December twenty-ninth at eight PM.The tour itself has shattered records globally. The twelve sold-out shows in Mexico City earlier this year generated approximately twenty thousand jobs across logistics, security, transportation, and production, according to Billboard. In her native Colombia, Barranquilla's local government estimated her performances generated nearly two hundred and seven billion Colombian pesos in economic impact, equivalent to roughly fifty million US dollars.Shakira's album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran continues its commercial dominance. The record became the most-streamed album of twenty twenty-four in its first twenty-four hours and achieved seven-times Platinum certification. The album itself won a Grammy for Best Latin Album, cementing her status as a force in the industry.Recent business developments show Shakira expanding her influence beyond music. Epson announced a new partnership with the artist as brand ambassador for the META-CWA initiative, focusing on inspiring youth creativity and innovation through accessible technology.On the charitable front, Shakira demonstrated her commitment to community causes by pledging to donate a portion of proceeds from her July fifth San Antonio concert to Hill Country disaster relief following Central Texas floods.With her net worth now estimated at approximately three hundred fifty million dollars, Shakira maintains her position as one of the most commercially successful Latin artists of all time, boasting over ninety-five million records sold worldwide and more than twenty-seven billion YouTube views.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Venezuela's regime, allied with communist China, Iran, and others, is deliberately poisoning the U.S. through drugs, contributing to hundreds of thousands of American deaths, making inaction absurd. The war crime claims from Democrats, from a denied report on killing drug boat survivors, are ridiculous. This Venezuela situation is similar to the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama via Operation Just Cause—a surprise attack without war declaration or prior congressional input due to leak fears—to oust drug lord Manuel Noriega, who partnered with Colombians to flood the U.S. with drugs, while restoring democracy and safeguarding Americans.  Also, going forward, every Republican who wants our votes need to declare if they stand with or against Tucker Carlson. This isn't about Carlson, it's a litmus test for fundamental morality, ethics, principles, understanding of American history, and opposition to bigotry, racism, anti-Semitism, attacks on Christianity, excuses for the Third Reich, and revisionist narratives portraying America or Churchill as villains.  There's an overlap between Marxist Islamists, and neo-fascists in condemning Judaism, Christianity, and the West, while failing to defend capitalism, free markets, the nation's founders, or its principles.  Later, the book "Liberty and Tyranny," critiques the statist argument for comprehensive immigration reform, which grants illegal immigrants' rights to enter illegally and remain, access welfare benefits like education, healthcare, housing, and food stamps, vote, and be counted in the census, all under the guise that America is a nation of immigrants. Today, almost 20 years later, this remains unchanged. No, immigrants do not have a right to come to America. Finally, parents need to encourage their children to compete, take jobs, work hard, and create opportunities rather than blaming a corrupt system. Success has never come easy for previous generations, including the greatest generation that endured wars and depression. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In November 2025, the third edition of the Junior World gymnastics championships took place in the Philippines. I'm going to be discussing my big takeaways from the men's team event in which the Chinese men came out on top ahead of team Japan, who were very closely followed by the three man US squad. The all around crown was won by the Russian gymnast Arsenii Dukhno who was competing as a neutral athlete. He edged out the Asian Games champion from Japan Nao Ojima with Yang Lanbin the top Chinese athlete finishing in third to complete the men's podium. China took the gold medals on the floor exercise and pommel horse with Yang Lanbin's beautiful routine on the former of the two apparatus and Zheng Ao winning gold the pommel horse. Dante Reive became the Junior world still rings champion and the all around champion Arsenii Dukhno got his individual title on vault performing a near perfect Yuchenko triple twist. Following in footsteps of his senior training partner Angel Bajaras, Colombian superstar Camilo Vera took two gold medals to round out the championships. On the parallel bars he shared the title with Nao Ojima and then on the horizontal bar he performed a routine that would have been competitive just one month earlier at the senior World gymnastics championships. Overall I was extremely impressed with the level of competition at these junior championships and expect many of these athletes to play key roles for their respective nations throughout this olympic cycle and beyond. Beyond the gold-medal winners, standout performances were delivered by Simone Seperanza, Eldrew Yulo, Danila Leykin, Sol Scott, and Nael Sakouhi. And this is my story. 

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira continues to dominate the global music scene as her record-breaking Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour shows no signs of slowing down. The Colombian superstar made headlines this week by announcing three additional concert dates in Mexico for February 2026, extending what is already the largest tour by a Latin female artist in history.The newly confirmed shows will take place in Tuxtla Gutierrez on February 21st, Merida on February 24th, and Mexico City on February 27th. These additions come in response to overwhelming demand following her unprecedented 12 sold-out performances at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City during 2025, which drew more than 780,000 attendees alone. Mexico now holds the record as the country with the most concerts on her entire world tour, cementing her unparalleled drawing power in the region.The tour itself has become a commercial juggernaut. According to Billboard and Live Nation reports, the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour is now the highest-grossing tour ever by a Latin woman, having earned over 327 million dollars within its first 64 concerts. The tour broke industry records with nearly one million tickets sold in less than two hours across Latin America alone when sales first opened.Beyond the numbers, the tour has resonated culturally with audiences worldwide. Her North American leg was upgraded to larger stadium venues due to unprecedented ticket demand, with shows in major cities like Charlotte, Miami, and New York selling out immediately. The tour spans across South America, North America, Mexico, and Europe, and is currently scheduled to conclude on February 27, 2026, in Mexico City following the newly announced dates.On the personal front, Shakira has also been engaging with fellow artists. Singer Dua Lipa recently performed an emotional cover of Shakira's song Antologia during a concert in Bogota, which moved the Colombian superstar to respond publicly, saying she was deeply touched by the tribute.Currently wrapping up her South American leg with performances in Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina through mid-December, Shakira has also scheduled three additional dates at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, from December 27th through 29th. The tour represents her return to the stage after a seven-year hiatus and has already cemented itself as one of the most significant concert runs in modern music history.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Some places don't just feel haunted — they feel wounded.High above a roaring Colombian waterfall sits the infamous Hotel del Salto, a cliffside mansion soaked in tragedy, whispers, and a century of unexplainable encounters. Locals speak of the falls as sacred… and cursed. Visitors report shadows that move on their own, voices rising from the mist, and a heaviness that seems to breathe from the walls themselves. This week on True Hauntings, Anne and Renata journey deep into the forests of Colombia to uncover the chilling history behind one of the country's most notorious dark-tourism hotspots. Is the Hotel of the Leap truly haunted — or is the land itself carrying the weight of every story, every sorrow, and every soul that never returned from the cliffs? Step inside, if you dare.

Colombian archaeologists have retrieved the first items from what's thought to be the most valuable shipwreck in the world. A Spanish naval ship, the San José, was sunk by a British fleet off the coast of Colombia more than 300 years ago. It had a cargo of gold, silver and emeralds worth billions of dollars in today's money. Treasure hunters had tried to locate the shipwreck for many years, before Colombia announced that it had discovered it back in 2015.But how can we be sure this is the actual San Jose - and if it is, who has the rightful claim to the precious cargo onboard?Helen Farr, a marine archaeologist from the University of Southampton in the UK, takes us through the legal dispute over who owns the ship, and recounts how it ended up on the ocean floor. And we hear from Mariana Carulla, a conservationist in the Colombian ministry of culture, who has been working with the team that's retrieving objects from the shipwreck. She tells us what they have found so far - and explains how authorities are searching for clues about the shipwreck's true identity.Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Hannah Gelbart Producers: Emily Horler, Maria Clara Montoya and Chelsea Coates Editor: Verity Wilde

First Call (Lilly's Colombian Thanksgiving) and Blake Worked Up Over Turkey by Maine's Coast 93.1

Hey gorgeous girl—today's conversation is one that is essential, not just around Thanksgiving, but for a lifestyle! I'm sitting down with my friend, Virginia Wear Kujabi—an international speaker, author, and host of The Formed Life podcast. We unpack what it really means to live a life of gratitude, and live life beyond a transaction--"I do this for you, and You do this for me, God!" Virginia shares how her journey with gratitude began with a friend highlighting--"I don't see any gratitude in your life." Gosh! Don't we all need those kinds of friends!?! Through that wake-up call, she discovered gratitude as a spiritual practice, not just a feeling. She walks us through how giving thanks, before seeing the outcome, opens our eyes to God's fingerprints all over our lives. (For more on that, read Hebrews 11:6) Virginia shares how gratitude has become a way life and a means of intimacy with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit! This episode offers practical insights and tactics to try as you seek to add more gratitude to your life beginning today!

We recorded this episode across Friday afternoon and deep into the evening inside the Blue Zone at COP30. At the time of publishing, there is still no final deal. The negotiations are ongoing, positions are shifting, and the outcome remains uncertain. We know that by the time you listen, some of what we heard today may already have changed, but we decided there was value in sharing the day with you. This episode is meant as a time capsule.We wanted to bring you inside the atmosphere of a COP Friday: the outrage, the optimism, the urgency, and the sheer human effort that goes into trying to land a deal. Rather than wait for the dust to settle, we spoke to the people living this moment. City leaders. Climate diplomats. Ministers from the front lines. Seasoned negotiators who've been in this process for decades. Activists still fighting for the best possible outcome for the planet. Their perspectives were captured as they were living this day, not in hindsight.This episode captures the feeling of a COP Friday: the confusion, the determination, the fear of losing ambition, and the belief, still alive in many corners, that progress is possible if countries choose it.With thanks to those who spoke with us:⁠Eric Garcetti, former US Ambassador to India and former mayor of LA Mark Watts, CEO of C40⁠Matt Webb, Associate Director for Global Clean Power Diplomacy, E3GGustavo Pinheiro, Senior Associate, E3G⁠Irene Velez Torres, Colombian Minister for Environment and Sustainable Development and head of the Colombian delegation⁠Dr. Antwi-Boasiako Amoah, Ghanian Negotiator and incoming head of Africa Group of Negotiators (AGN)Giovanni Maurice Pradipta, Foundation for Sustainability

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan takes listeners across Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, and Chile to reveal a regional battle between the Left and the Right. He then connects these global trends to the rise of Democratic Socialism in the United States and explains what a socialist future for America would look like in the words of the Democratic Socialists of America themselves. Trump Weighs Strikes in Venezuela and Colombia: The USS Gerald Ford carrier strike group has arrived off the Venezuelan coast with fifteen thousand U.S. troops in the region. Trump says he will not rule out military action or even ground forces against the Maduro regime, which the State Department has formally labeled a terrorist organization. Maduro has offered Trump access to Venezuela's massive oil reserves in exchange for staying in power, and the White House is openly considering all options. In Colombia, Marxist president Gustavo Petro continues to defend his past with the M-19 terror group. Trump signaled he is willing to hit Colombian drug labs if necessary, saying he would be "proud" to destroy them. Mexico Erupts Over Cartel Violence: Mexico City saw a weekend of violent protests that left one hundred officers injured. Outrage grew after the assassination of a popular mayor in Michoacan by a cartel-recruited teen. Protesters blasted President Claudia Sheinbaum's approach of "Hugs, Not Bullets," arguing it has empowered cartels and left communities defenseless. Younger Mexicans filled the streets, furious that their country remains trapped between socialist leadership and cartel domination. Chile Rejects the Far Left: Seventy percent of Chilean voters backed conservative candidates in the first round of the presidential election. Jose Kast, a conservative Catholic with nine children, will face Communist Party member Jeanne Jara in the December runoff. Voters say crime, cartels, and mass illegal migration have pushed the nation to the breaking point. Kast has vowed to secure the border with walls and landmines, expand prisons, and cut leftist funding that has fueled unrest and economic decline. The Bigger Picture: A Hemisphere in Revolt: Across Latin America, leftist governments are collapsing under crime, corruption, and failed socialist policies. Voters in Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, Panama, and El Salvador have already swung to the Right. Europe is shifting too. Yet the United States is moving in the opposite direction. Cities like New York and Seattle are embracing radical Democratic Socialists who draw inspiration from Latin American Marxists. What a Socialist America Would Look Like: Bryan walks through the Democratic Socialists of America's own strategy document from 2012. The group calls for abolishing private business, seizing the means of production, replacing entrepreneurs with government bureaucrats, and using the Democratic Party as a host to move the country toward Marxism. DSA leaders admit there is no blueprint for how their system would work and acknowledge the violent history of Marxist regimes. Their model depends on free housing, free jobs, free education, and government assigned careers funded by an undefined source. Bryan warns that the movement is already advancing inside the Democratic Party with leaders like AOC and Zohran Mamdani openly following the playbook.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Venezuela USS Gerald Ford, Maduro cartel de los soles terrorism, Gustavo Petro M-19 Colombia strikes, Mexico City cartel protests Claudia Sheinbaum, Michoacan mayor assassination cartel teen, Chile election Jose Kast Jeanne Jara, Democratic Socialists of America 2012 document, DSA seize means of production, Mamdani AOC Democratic Party strategy
