They discuss how Africa was the staging ground of the 9/11 attack, and how Africa ended up being the theatre of post-9/11 politics. Included in their latest edition: how Osama bin Laden’s name first became known because of the 1998 bombings in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam; how the economy of Nigeria was choked by financial controls after 9/11; and how Libya today is split in two partly due to the aftermath of 9/11.

ACROSS THE CONTINENT returns with our 4th league preview – and this time we're heading over to Germany to take a look at the BUNDESLIGA. We begin by getting the Bayern and Dortmund plaudits out of the way, including complimenting Dortmund's summer business, before delving into teams we like and dislike. In the segment, we ask the hard questions. Can new coaches in Leipzig and Leverkusen put the pieces together in time to challenge for Champions League? Is Mainz's attack really this good? And is Gadblach destined for a relegation battle (recorded before the sacking of their coach)? Naturally, we're aligned on two of our favorites German clubs of late, Stuttgart and Freiburg. What makes them such models of consistency? Then we discuss the three promoted teams, including Elversberg's dream start to their first ever top flight campaign and Paderborn and Schalke's chances of survival. We also debate which established sides might find themselves in trouble come next spring. Finally, we reveal our official table predictions for the year and wonder who the hell Vincent Kompany's stylist is. Cheers to Vincent Kompany and Miron Muslić! Chapters: 00:00 – the start 06:16 – Bayern & Dortmund 10:41 – teams we're out on 22:40 – teams we're in on 31:57 – promoted teams & relegation candidates 43:04 – official table predictions

In Operation Condor: The Pact That Terrorized a Continent (Storia, 2025), Francesca Lessa uncovers the shadowy machinery behind one of the most chilling transnational terror campaigns of the twentieth century. What began as a secret pact among South America's military dictatorships quickly grew into a coordinated system of surveillance, kidnappings, torture, and disappearances that reached across borders and oceans. Through meticulous research and newly unearthed documents, Lessa reveals how those in power built a network designed to eliminate dissent wherever it dared to surface, turning exile into a false refuge and entire nations into hunting grounds. This book is not simply a reconstruction of clandestine meetings and sealed orders, though it excels at that. It is a deeply human story that follows the lives interrupted and the families who refused to surrender to silence. Lessa brings to light parents who never stopped searching, survivors who fought to be heard, and investigators who chipped away at decades of denial. Their voices and struggles give this history its pulse, reminding us that truth is often preserved not by institutions but by ordinary people who refuse to forget. Translated with clarity and grace by Alejandro Reyes, and enriched by Sebastián Santana Camargo's haunting illustrations, this authorized English edition of the acclaimed Plan Cóndor: Viejos secretos y nuevos hallazgos is both a work of history and an act of witness. It confronts a past many hoped would remain in the shadows and insists on remembering, not out of vengeance, but as a defense of democracy and dignity. The result is a gripping, sobering, and ultimately hopeful testament to the enduring power of memory and justice.Support our show by becoming a premium member! https://newbooksnetwork.supportingcast.fm/military-history Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Our sister show, ACROSS THE CONTINENT, is back with a preview of LA LIGA. We begin with Jose Mourinho's return to Real Madrid. The early signs are positive – particularly his relationship with the likes of Mbappe and Bellingham – but can they sustain elite play? We debate whether they can keep pace with Rodri, Yamal, and Barcelona. We also discuss Atlético's chances of keeping pace after a summer of big business, as well as drama with star striker Julian Alvarez. Can they mend that relationship in time to threaten Barca and Madrid? Next, we make our predictions for the rest of the European spots, including why we're high on Real Betis, a little skeptical of Real Sociedad, and why Villarreal might need a little time to gel. Finally, we spotlight the three promoted clubs, take a stab at the relegation battle, and identify some clubs that might surprise and delight. Cheers to Hansi Flick and José Alberto López!

This episode is packed with your best economic ideas from around the world and a penguin interview. It all comes together in this final session of Summer School 2026.Pack your parka, we're headed to Antarctica. The continent nobody owns, but everyone benefits from and plenty of economic activity if you know where to look.First, we'll travel back in time to the late 1970s when NPR was a scrappy young network, with a synth soundtrack, and tons of heart. Science reporter Ira Flatow took a trip to the South Pole that put NPR on the news industry map. We'll hear an excerpt where he brings us along through what life is like on the ice, including a memorable interview with the wildlife.Then we look inside McMurdo Station, the largest human settlement and research base on Antarctica to hear from a listener who managed the store at the base back in the 1980s. Normal retail rules do not apply. We'll also speak with an economist who has estimated the continent's monetary value, while asking questions like “why put a price tag on this uninhabitable land”? She makes the case we should consider the environmental benefit as a service.But, we can't let the episode and the series wrap without marking our achievements! You did it! As part of our graduation celebration, we hear from your fellow members of the summer school class of 2026. Listeners like you who have written in from around the globe with provocative economic ideas that could make life better for all of us if we just have the will to do it. Man did you all deliver on sending in ideas. We've curated our favorites. Way better than speeches.And don't forget your totally real, but not legal, diploma by taking our short online test.

It's the very first episode of our spinoff show, AROUND THE CONTINENT, where we will discuss subjects in European football outside our usual Europa & Conference League bubble! To kick things off, we're doing six weeks of league previews, and first up is England's PREMIER LEAGUE. We dig into our table predictions, starting with the likely relegation contenders. Can any of the promoted sides survive the drop? And why are we worried about Fulham and Crystal Palace? Next, we look at the mid table, full of teams either in Europe this season or with strong European ambitions. Can Bournemouth and Brighton manage the extra slate of games? Can new-look Newcastle cope with a first-year coach and a much younger squad? Is Glasner the perfect man to lead Nottingham Forest? And will Brentford's stability lead them to the top of this group? We then discuss Champions League contenders. Arsenal is the heavy favorite to repeat, but how will it shake out behind them in a messy field? Finally, we do some quick hits, including who will get the sack first, golden boot winner, and more. Cheers to Frank Lampard!

Treasury yields have rebounded despite yesterday's buyback intervention relief from U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. In an exclusive interview, Bessent told CNBC he is prepared to increase the operation beyond $4bn. The bond sell-off has impacted the equities markets which closed deep into negative territory at the end of Thursday's sessions. European futures are flat following a down week on the Continent. In crypto news, Bitcoin surpasses the $70,000-mark, adding approximately 20 per cent this week. We hear from Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong who says the sector is now set for another bull market. And in banking news, Italy's Monte dei Paschi offers a double takeover of Banco BPM and Banco Generali. If approved, the deal would be valued at close to €70bn and would trump Intesa's own takeover bid.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Le Monde du Silence, sorti en 1956, nous emmène sur la piste du commandant Cousteau, de son équipe, et de Jojo le Mérou figure emblématique du film. Le monde du silence est une réalisation de Jacques-Yves Cousteau et de Louis Malle, jeune homme embarqué sur la Calypso où il sert à la fois de réalisateur documentaire et de photographe. De la méditerranée à lʹocéan Indien, le film se construit entre plongées, mers dʹhuiles ou agitées, corvées sur le bateau, rencontre avec des animaux merveilleux, explorations dʹépaves et divers drames, comme quand le bateau heurte et lacère un bébé cachalot. Les images sous-marines, magnifiques, les contrastes entre le monde des océans et la terre, cette vie à bord, lʹennui, la recherche biologique, la violence aussi, la pêche à la dynamite, le sang des requins, font du Monde du silence une œuvre tout à la fois exotique, mystérieuse, passionnante, humaine et animale. Terrible aussi. A lʹépoque, on sʹy trompe pas. Le film obtient, à Cannes, la Palme dʹor en 1956 et à Hollywood, lʹOscar du meilleur documentaire en 1957. Mais si le Monde du silence fascine alors, aujourdʹhui il est vivement critiqué. Car on ne traite plus les animaux comme ils le faisaient. Car on nʹexplore plus les mers comme ils le faisaient. Mais ça le commandant lʹa compris assez vite, devenant plus darwinien, ouvertement écologiste, porte-parole du Continent bleu, encourageant les humains à prendre conscience du rôle déterminant de la mer et des océans. Mais nous vous raconterons tout cela. Nous ferons le portrait en clair et en sombre de Cousteau, lʹhomme poisson, qui a fait rêver et connaître à toutes et tous, la beauté des océans, nous parlerons de Louis Malle et de ses images exceptionnelles et qui, maintenant, nous fascinent et nous choquent. Dès lors ne tardons plus, plongeons ensemble dans les eaux bleues en compagnie dʹun commandant iconique et de toute une équipe de marins scientifiques. REFERENCES J.-Y.

Jeremy Zakis: Jeremy Zakis explains that Australia is entering a super El Niño cycle, exacerbated by a positive Indian Ocean Dipole that dries out the continent. He warns that recent winter rain has fueled undergrowth that will soon become tinder-dry wildfire kindling. Shifting to wildlife, Zakis recounts a fascinating experiment in which magpies cooperated to remove GPS trackers from one another, demonstrating high social intelligence. He also shares anecdotes about his dog Dallas and the vandal cockatoos that have been destroying hardwood birdhouses in his yard. (1)

Nobody toppled Charlemagne's empire with a sword. Nobody burned it down with a torch. It was taken apart with a law.Most history counts the battles. This channel reads the contracts. You've been told Charlemagne's empire just fell apart — his sons fought, the Vikings came, the center broke. That version is true as far as it goes. It's just far too small.The real weapon was Frankish partible inheritance — a legal custom built for chieftains splitting up cattle and hillforts. In 843 it got applied to an empire that ran from the Atlantic to the Elbe. The lawyers were ready for it. The parchment was drawn up. The seals were stamped.The Treaty of Verdun gets remembered as a peace agreement. What it really was, was an estate-planning contract written at the scale of a civilization — negotiated by teams of church lawyers, notaries, financial administrators, and surveyors who spent months calculating fiscal revenues and drawing ecclesiastical circuits. They thought they were doing estate planning. They were also, without having any idea of it, doing nation building. France and Germany begin at Verdun.Nobody conquered Charlemagne's empire. They inherited it. And inheriting it broke it into pieces.════════════════════════════

Self-storage is a mature and institutionalized property type in the United States and parts of Europe, but in Asia Pacific it is still in the early stages of development. And that is precisely what makes self-storage a compelling for investment opportunity, according to our guest, Raju Ruparelia, CEO of StorHub Group, a self-storage platform in Asia Pacific.

When Ron Magill announced his retirement on February 15th, plenty of people assumed South Florida was losing its most recognizable voice in the animal world.   On this episode of Cut to the Chase: host Gregg Goldfarb sits down with Ron to set the record straight. He retired from the county, moved his office about 30 yards north, and took on a new role as Goodwill Ambassador and Conservation Liaison for the Zoo Miami Foundation. Ron walks through the work ahead of him, including building the Ron Magill Conservation Endowment, the largest conservation endowment at the zoo, where none of the money can be spent at the zoo itself and goes entirely toward protecting animals in the wild. He also shares the travel programs he's leading, from 11 national parks across five states to polar bears in Churchill and a return voyage to Antarctica.   The conversation turns personal when Ron shares the story of the animal that changed his life. It was a squirrel that came down from a tree during recess, at a time when he was a Spanish-speaking kid being bullied so badly he'd retreated into his shell. He also weighs in on why Miami has become what he calls the Ellis Island of exotic animals, what's realistically possible with pythons and iguanas at this point, and why he's profoundly concerned about the rollback of environmental protections at a national level.   Join Gregg and Ron Magill on Cut to the Chase: as they explore: Why "retirement" for Ron meant moving offices rather than stepping away, and what the Zoo Miami Foundation role actually involves How the Ron Magill Conservation Endowment works, and why none of that money can be spent at the zoo How listeners can join Ron's travel programs through the travel tab at zoomiami.org Why local conservation in your own backyard matters before global causes Whether you can actually make a living in wildlife and conservation work, and what it takes Why storytelling, not statistics or pie charts, is the skill that opens doors in this field What Miami is doing to build green corridors connecting parks for wildlife Why invasive species like pythons, iguanas, and lionfish are here to stay, and what management realistically looks like Why the python hunts matter for public education even when they don't dent the population   TIME STAMPS 0:00 – Intro: "The Ellis Island of Exotic Animals" 0:30 – Welcome to Cut to the Chase & Ron's 4-Decade Legacy 1:01 – Retiring from the County, Not From the Mission 1:38 – New Role: Zoo Miami Foundation & Conservation Endowment 2:05 – Upcoming Trips: Antarctica, Africa, National Parks & How to Join  3:36 – Conservation Work: Audubon, Wildlife Rescue & Protecting Our Backyard 4:22 – Giving Back: Scholarships for the Next Generation  5:06 – "Living a Scam": On Loving Your Job 5:37 – Can You Actually Make a Living Doing This? 6:53 – Why Storytelling Matters More Than Ever 7:11 – The Next Ron Magill?

After 46 years working under Miami-Dade County, he now serves as Goodwill Ambassador and Conservation Liaison for the Zoo Miami Foundation, where he leads the foundation's travel program and continues building the Ron Magill Conservation Endowment. He is also a USA Nikon Ambassador and wildlife photographer who has set foot on every continent and visited Africa more than 50 times.   Contact / Follow Ron Magill: Website: https://zoomiami.org (travel programs under the Travel tab) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ron-magill-0257bb8/   Want more conversations that cut through the noise on science, climate, and the issues shaping our future?

Large parts of Europe are continuing to swelter through heatwave conditions as wildfires burn out of control in multiple countries. The world's fastest-warming continent, Europe is becoming increasingly prone to heatwaves, droughts and destructive wildfires.

On today's episode we discuss the ins and outs of the European Union and how it structurally, institutionally and ideologically reinforces its own legitimacy through “civil society” within current and prospective member states.Our guest is Thomas Fazi.Fazi is the author of the book The European Propaganda Machine: The Dark Side of NGOs, Media and Universities (2026) - (published in Italian).Book description:A topic no one talks about: for the first time, the apparatus through which the European Union has built, financed, and implemented a widespread system of control over public discourse is dismantled piece by piece. Through a documented analysis of the flows of money to NGOs, media, and universities, the text shows how European public resources are being used to generate artificial consensus, marginalize dissent, and promote an integrationist ideology presented as neutral and inevitable. What emerges is a portrait of a largely co-opted “civil society,” a structurally dependent media, and an academia transformed into a vehicle for political legitimacy. This investigation raises fundamental questions about the state of democracy in Europe and the increasingly blurred lines between information, activism, and propaganda.Thomas Fazi is a critically-acclaimed writer and journalist. His books include The Battle for Europe: How an Elite Hijacked a Continent — and How We Can Take It Back (Pluto Press, 2014), Reclaiming the State: A Progressive Vision of Sovereignty for a Post-Neoliberal World (co-authored with Bill Mitchell; Pluto Press, 2017) and The Covid Consensus: The Global Assault on Democracy and the Poor — A Critique from the Left (co-authored with Toby Green; 2023). His latest book, published in Italian, is The European Propaganda Machine: The Dark Side of NGOs, Media and Universities (2026). His articles have appeared in numerous online and printed publications. He is a columnist for the British magazine UnHerd and the American magazine Compact.Episode music:”სმა” - მინდა და ვთხრი

Nearly 50 years after a magazine story planted the dream of crossing Australia by motorcycle, Allan Waldon finally set out to make it happen. Riding unsupported with his mate Adam on two small motorcycles, he faced more than 6,000 kilometres of remote desert, flooded roads, deep gravel, fierce winds and slippery red clay. This is the story of two riders crossing a continent—and one man proving it's never too late to pursue a lifelong dream.

In Contested Continent: The Struggle for America, c.1000-1680 (Oxford University Press, 2026), the newest installment of the acclaimed Oxford History of the United States series, Peter C. Mancall recounts how North America was forged from the experiences of millions of Indigenous women and men as well as Europeans and Africans. This history spans the continent from the North Atlantic to the West Indies and includes the entire Atlantic basin, telling a new story about the origins of major aspects of American culture. He illuminates the rise of a booming trans-Atlantic economy based on the extraction of abundant American natural resources; the central role that European migrants and their descendants played in the enslavement of Africans and the displacement of Indigenous peoples; and the spread of self-governing polities where many enjoyed religious freedom. None of these developments was inevitable. Conflicts broke out frequently as different peoples battled over precious resources. Europeans' appetites for material gain and expanding Christendom brought horrific consequences for those brutalized, enslaved, and vulnerable to infectious diseases. This is a sweeping history of developments crucial to the eventual founding of the United States. Contested Continent underscores the titanic struggles between the peoples who had populated the Americas for centuries and the migrants from the Old World who initiated changes that created a New World that offered boundless opportunities for some and crushed the aspirations of others.
