We live in an age of global mass tourism. Last year, the UN estimated 1.5 billion people travelled to another country. While many places depend on tourism for income and employment, it can come at a significant environmental and social cost.We take a tour of Dubrovnik in Croatia, which has the highest tourists-to-locals ratio in Europe. The city is using perks and penalties to keep both local people and visitors happy. Also we paddle and cycle around Copenhagen in Denmark. They are rewarding eco-friendly actions to encourage better tourist behaviour.People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems. We release a new edition every Tuesday. We'd love you to let us know what you think and to hear about your own solutions.

Positioning is quietly becoming the skill that separates people who stand out in UX and product from people who get left behind, especially now that AI can build almost anything in seconds. In this episode, Sarah makes the case for why the ability to build fast is no longer the advantage it used to be, and why knowing what's worth building, and framing it well, matters more than ever.Sarah traces this back to a belief she used to hold herself, that good work speaks for itself. It doesn't. She shares how she avoided a required public speaking class in college, only to realize later that the real skill was never about sounding polished or the delivery. It was about the thinking that happens before you say a single word, or type a single sentence, or design a single sales page.She also shares a recent story from her own business, where a team she hired to build an AI tool ignored the detailed context she gave them and rushed straight into building, producing a prototype that missed the mark entirely. She ended up building it herself, faster, because she had the clarity they skipped in the process. That story becomes the jumping off point for two ideas Sarah argues will define who stands out in UX and product going forward, knowing what's worth building, and framing the work so people actually say yes to it.If you've ever felt invisible in a meeting, passed over for a promotion, or like your UX job search ideas keep getting ignored, this episode reframes that feeling as a positioning problem rather than a skills problem, and gives a concrete way to start fixing it this week.Topics Discussed✅ Why "good work speaks for itself" is a myth that's quietly keeping talented people invisible✅ The real reason some ideas get funded, approved, or hired for in UX, and it's rarely because they were the best idea✅ A story about hiring a team to build an AI tool, and what happened when they skipped the thinking and rushed straight to building✅ Why knowing what's worth building is about to matter more than how fast you can build it✅ A real example of a stakeholder update that got buried, and the exact rewrite that would have gotten a faster yes✅ Why leading with the "so what" instead of the "what" changes how quickly people respond to your ideas✅ How the same positioning skill applies just as much to your UX job search, your portfolio, and a promotion conversation as it does to a pitch✅ A simple challenge to try this week on your next email, Slack message, or updateLinks & Resources

Virgin Voyages sets its first Scandinavia and Baltic season, basing Valiant Lady in Amsterdam for summer 2028 across a six-sailing program that adds an Arctic Circle crossing and puts at least one first-time port on every voyage, from Oslo and Copenhagen to Tromso and the Norwegian fjords. Royal Caribbean lifts its 2026 adjusted earnings outlook to $17.73 to $17.87 per share after a second quarter that beat estimates, with revenue of $4.83 billion, 2.4 million guests carried and load factors at 110%, even as fuel costs climbed 27%. And Villa Vie Residences prepares to unveil Legacy, a second residential ship targeted for early 2029 with residences roughly 50% larger than comparable units aboard Odyssey, which has now sold more than 85% of its available homes.

Onyx Coffee Lab was just voted the best coffee shop in the world! Not in New York, Copenhagen or Melbourne. In Arkansas. Andrea Allen and her husband Jon opened Onyx in 2012 with a wildly ambitious idea: one day, they would serve the best coffee in the world. At the time, success meant paying the bills, the staff and the rent. Fourteen years later, Onyx sits at number one on the World's 100 Best Coffee Shops list and has become a James Beard nominee for Outstanding Bar. Andrea joins us to unpack how they built a hometown coffee company into one of specialty coffee's most influential brands, without losing the point of view that made it special. We talk about creating destination cafés, why every Onyx venue is completely different, the failed ideas nobody sees on Instagram and how their newest location, The Preserve, evolved from the slightly unhinged idea of building a bike path through a café. Andrea also shares how a cold DM eventually led to working with Jimmy Butler and BIGFACE, why Doyenne grew far beyond expectations and what genuine transparency should look like across the coffee supply chain. Plus, Hugh Grant, Elon Musk, broken robot baristas and Andrea's defence of the humble mocha. If you're opening a café, building a brand or trying to create something people genuinely care about, this one is packed.

Today we're exploring what actually happens when you step fully away from your routine, and why the benefits of a real break go a lot deeper than just feeling rested.From the outside, taking time off can look like the opposite of productive. Like the ambitious thing to do is stay in motion, keep pushing, save the trip for when things calm down. But here's what I noticed on my own three weeks away this summer, a reunion in Copenhagen with friends I've known since childhood, then time in France with my own family: the pace change wasn't just restful. It was information.In this episode, I walk you through the three shifts that happen when you actually leave your routine behind. Your nervous system gets evidence, not just permission, that it's safe to downshift, and that evidence only comes from living it, not deciding it in your head. The distance gives you a reference point you don't have in the day to day, so you can finally see what's working in your life and what isn't. And stepping outside your usual roles, even for a conversation with a stranger in a foreign language, shows you who you are underneath the roles you carry the rest of the year.I also share what I was reading while I was away, and how it left me sitting with a bigger question about time, ambition, and what all of this is actually for.If you've been telling yourself you don't have time for a real break, I want you to sit with this question: what is the smallest version of time away you could actually give yourself this week?If this is resonating and you'd like a small place to begin, I have a free series called Bold Moves from Solid Ground that walks you through the foundation of this work and takes it deeper. You can find it here: siobhanbarnes.com/bold-moves-from-solid-ground. And if you're in Hong Kong and want support closer to home, come find me through Watch Her Lead: watchherlead.com.

Denmark House feels like a small pocket of Copenhagen tucked above Little Collins Street. Light pours through the large, black-framed windows, Danish drifts across the room, and Raj Shrestha looks completely at home. After spending almost 15 years in Denmark, he has found a place in Melbourne where that part of his life still feels close. Raj is deeply passionate about being a chef, but there is nothing showy about him. He speaks beautifully about learning, leadership and the responsibility of looking after people, whether they are working beside him or walking through the restaurant door. We talked about growing up in Nepal, discovering himself in Copenhagen and now his new life in Melbourne. I especially loved the way Raj spoke about energy, and the importance of noticing how people are feeling before the first ticket even comes in, as well as his curiosity and desire to always be better at what he does.

I 1795 rejser den engelske forfatter og filosof Mary Wollstonecraft gennem Skandinavien med sin spæde datter. Rejsen er alt andet end en ferie. Kort forinden har hendes elsker forladt hende, og efter et selvmordsforsøg tager hun af sted på en forretningsmission for netop den mand, der har knust hendes hjerte. Mary er samtidig en af sin tids mest omdiskuterede kvinder. Hun argumenterer for, at kvinder er lige så fornuftige som mænd og derfor fortjener de samme muligheder. Det får mange af hendes samtidige til at løfte øjenbrynene så højt, at de næsten forsvinder op i panden. Turen bringer hende blandt andet til København, hvor hun møder et samfund, hvor kvinder stadig forventes at kende deres plads – en forventning, Mary bestemt ikke har tænkt sig at indordne sig under.

Die berühmte Jazzsängerin Ella Fitzgerald hatte ein Faible für Dänemark, was durchaus an einem jungen Dänen gelegen haben mag, mit dem sie eine romantische Beziehung hatte. Ella Fitzgerald kaufte sich ein Haus in einem Vorort von Kopenhagen und lebte zwei Jahre dort. Der Auftritt im Falkoner Theatre wurde zwar aufgezeichnet, als sie bereits in die USA zurückgekehrt war, aber die besondere Vertrautheit zwischen ihr und dem dänischen Publikum ist dennoch hörbar: Ella Fitzgerald in Hochform vor Menschen, die das zu würdigen wissen.

Story Transcript:Da: Mathias, Freja og Kasper gik gennem indgangen til Den Blå Planet.En: Mathias, Freja, and Kasper walked through the entrance to Den Blå Planet.Da: Solen skinnede stærkt i Københavns sommer, og der var en summen af forventning omkring dem.En: The sun shone brightly in Copenhagen's summer, and there was a buzz of anticipation around them.Da: Børn løb rundt, mens forældre kæmpede for at holde styr på dem.En: Children ran around, while parents struggled to keep track of them.Da: Freja tog en dyb indånding og klemte Mathias' hånd lidt hårdere, end hun havde tænkt.En: Freja took a deep breath and squeezed Mathias' hand a little harder than she intended.Da: Han kiggede på hende med et forstående smil.En: He looked at her with an understanding smile.Da: "Er du okay?"En: "Are you okay?"Da: spurgte Mathias blidt.En: Mathias asked gently.Da: Freja nikkede, selvom hendes hjerte bankede hurtigt.En: Freja nodded, even though her heart was beating fast.Da: Hun ønskede så meget at nyde besøget.En: She wanted so much to enjoy the visit.Da: Kasper, altid klar til eventyr, førte an ind i akvariet, fyldt med energi og spænding.En: Kasper, always ready for adventure, led the way into the aquarium, full of energy and excitement.Da: De fulgte efter ham hen til den store tank med hajer, som fangede størstedelen af de besøgende.En: They followed him to the large shark tank, which captured the majority of the visitors.Da: Inde i hajtunnelen blev lydene højere.En: Inside the shark tunnel, the sounds grew louder.Da: Menneskemængden var tæt, og det blev sværere for Freja at trække vejret roligt.En: The crowd was thick, and it became harder for Freja to breathe calmly.Da: Hun følte en bølge af panik stige op i sig.En: She felt a wave of panic rising in her.Da: "Vi kan finde et roligere sted," foreslog Mathias.En: "We can find a calmer place," suggested Mathias.Da: Hun tøvede et øjeblik, men vidste, at hun skulle tale åbent om sin angst.En: She hesitated for a moment but knew she had to speak openly about her anxiety.Da: Hun nikkede og hviskede stille til Mathias om, hvordan hun havde det.En: She nodded and whispered softly to Mathias about how she was feeling.Da: Mathias pegede over mod et skilt, der viste vej til en udstilling med vandmænd.En: Mathias pointed to a sign that directed them to a jellyfish exhibit.Da: Kasper så på dem, forstående hvad der foregik, og blinkede til Freja med et opmuntrende smil.En: Kasper looked at them, understanding what was happening, and winked at Freja with an encouraging smile.Da: "Jeg går foran og finder en stille rute," sagde Kasper og banede vej gennem mængden.En: "I'll go ahead and find a quiet route," Kasper said and paved the way through the crowd.Da: Freja, stadig hånd i hånd med Mathias, fulgte Kasper væk fra det travle område.En: Freja, still hand in hand with Mathias, followed Kasper away from the busy area.Da: De nåede frem til vandmandsudstillingen, hvor lyset var dæmpet, og der kun var få mennesker.En: They reached the jellyfish exhibit, where the lighting was dimmed, and there were only a few people.Da: Her var der en skøn ro.En: Here there was a wonderful calm.Da: Blå og lilla nuancer klædte rummet, og de farverige vandmænd svømmede yndefuldt rundt.En: Blue and purple hues dressed the room, and the colorful jellyfish swam gracefully around.Da: Freja satte sig ned på en bænk, og den bløde glød fra tankene gav hendes hjerte en roligere rytme.En: Freja sat down on a bench, and the soft glow from the tanks gave her heart a calmer rhythm.Da: Mathias satte sig ved siden af hende.En: Mathias sat down next to her.Da: "Det her er et godt sted," sagde han beroligende.En: "This is a good place," he said reassuringly.Da: Freja trak vejret dybt ind, og for første gang i dag følte hun sig lettere.En: Freja breathed deeply, and for the first time that day, she felt lighter.Da: Kasper kiggede sig omkring og sagde: "Se, der er næsten ingen her!En: Kasper looked around and said, "Look, there's almost no one here!Da: Perfekt udsigt til vores egen private akvarieopvisning."En: Perfect view for our own private aquarium show."Da: Freja smilede og mærkede langsomt, hvordan presset lettede.En: Freja smiled and slowly felt the pressure lift.Da: Det var godt at føle, at hun ikke var alene med sin angst.En: It was good to feel that she wasn't alone with her anxiety.Da: Mathias' støtte og Kaspers evne til at lette stemningen havde hjulpet hende meget.En: Mathias' support and Kasper's ability to lighten the mood had helped her a lot.Da: Hun indså en vigtig ting den dag.En: She realized an important thing that day.Da: Ved at række ud efter hjælp, kunne hun komme igennem sine bekymringer.En: By reaching out for help, she could get through her worries.Da: Hun skulle ikke lade sin angst bestemme over hende.En: She shouldn't let her anxiety rule her.Da: I det rolige skær fra vandmændenes glød fandt Freja endelig fred i sig selv.En: In the

For decades, we've been told that eating less fat is one of the healthiest things we can do. That advice reshaped the foods we buy, the way we think about weight loss, and even how parents feed their children.But what if we misunderstood fat in the first place?In this episode, nutrition researcher Dr. Arne Astrup traces how the war on fat began, why many of its core assumptions haven't held up under decades of research, and what we've learned instead. Rather than asking whether fat is "good" or "bad," he argues that the more useful questions are: What foods actually keep us healthy? Why do some people gain weight more easily than others? And what happens when we reduce nutrition to single nutrients instead of whole foods?Free course: Improve your metabolic healthGet our free email course on how glucose, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and measurement can help you build habits that support better energy and long-term health: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠

Our recap episodes, which offer a synthesis of our 1792-1804 coverage one year at a time, have reached 1801 - a year in which Britain and France make peace, despite a widening canvas of war spreading across from Europe across the globe. Chris Sloan talks presenter Alex Stevenson through specific key clips he's picked out from our old episodes grouped around four themes which, we argue, help frame the period and shape our understanding of it in a whole new way. We hope this will provide a helpful refresh for longstanding listeners - whilst at the same time offering an 'entry ramp' to the podcast for those who want to get up to speed relatively easily before we crash full-speed into the intensity of the Napoleonic Wars.This episode covers a 12-month period in which Napoleon Bonaparte, having secured a Concordat with the Catholic Church, sends troops to recapture Saint-Domingue and gets himself elected president in Italy. Russia's League of Armed Neutrality is thwarted by Horatio Nelson at the Battle of Copenhagen before Tsar Paul's assassination prompts a change of course in St Petersburg. The British are on the offensive in Egypt and in India, but William Pitt resigns as Prime Minister. Thomas Jefferson is finally elected President and the US is fighting the first Barbary war... and there's the War of the Oranges between Spain and Portugal as well. Is this a winding-down year? No - it's one of the most dramatic of them all.Help us produce more episodes by supporting the Napoleonic Quarterly on Patreon: patreon.com/napoleonicquarterly

Visit most of the major architecture firms in Copenhagen and you might be forgiven for thinking the industry is more diverse than most, but as we learn in this episode, things aren't always what they seem.   Christine Bjerke is an architect and the co-founder of Building Diversity, a volunteer-run organisation which focuses on inclusivity and aims to enhance diversity within the built environment.  We've touched on this a few times over the years in episodes of Let's Talk Architecture, looking at how to include a wider range of people in the consultancy process, how to open up the industry to a broader spectrum of people, or how to make buildings and spaces more accessible, both physically and just more approachable. But Building Diversity is tackling all of this head on.  Join us as we visit one of Copenhagen's most prominent public spaces to see it through Christine's eye   Guest:   Christine Bjerke, Founder, Architect and Co-founder of Building Diversity Host:   Michael Booth  Let's Talk Architecture is a podcast by Danish Architecture Center. Sound edits by Munck Studios.

We're unpacking the biggest takeaways from the European Power Platform Conference in Copenhagen - from AI agents and Copilot Studio to governance, security and why the future of Power Platform isn't just about building faster, but building smarter.

I personally subscribe to The Economist. TOE listeners get 35% off the annual subscription. No other podcast has this! https://economist.com/TOE This is a careful lecture that can be followed with zero background knowledge. Einstein thought he'd caught quantum mechanics in an act of spookiness — this podcast asks whether he was even worried about the right thing. Tim Maudlin, professor of philosophy at NYU and a leading philosopher of physics, delivers a rare full lecture tracing Einstein, EPR, and the road to Bell's theorem. The central claim: Einstein's real objection was never determinism — "God does not play dice" is a red herring — but non-locality, which he inferred rather than assumed. Maudlin traces the argument from Einstein's overlooked 1927 Solvay objection through the EPR paper's criterion of reality, showing why Bohr's famous reply never actually answered it.

Copenhagen and Berlin are less than an hour apart by plane, but very different in spirit. Copenhagen is a mostly clean, mostly safe, mostly well-run, mostly get up early in the morning and get to work type of city. Berlin is fun, exciting, and a little bit chaotic.  Long before I lived in Copenhagen, I lived in Berlin for a couple of years. Imagine my surprise when, on a return visit, I found myself staying next to a shop called "Hygge", filled with Danish pillows, candles, and wooden figurines.  It was a Danish theme store, right in the middle of the German capital city, filled with items designed to create a cozy Copenhagen atmosphere in the raw rough streets of Berlin. Of course, it's not uncommon for one city to have little tributes to a different city. After all, Copenhagen has a Berlin Bar, and a clothing store called New Yorker, and an Old Irish Pub. But Berliners and Copenhagners have a special respect for each other. Berliners enjoy Copenhagen calm, while Copenhagners go to Berlin to get a taste of big-city life.

Jeff returns from his grand European adventure with Copenhagen hot dogs, Amsterdam drag dinners, and a British Open sunburn… but baby, the real turbulence was Miles calling him fat the minute they got home. From canal cruises with Siberians to zoo kangaroos you could practically pet, Jeff spills every chaotic detail — including missed flights, Christian‑praise‑music Ubers, and a hotel clerk who refused to open the door (Jeff handled it… loudly).Meanwhile, Sam recaps weddings, burger festivals, Martin Short documentaries, and her husband eating like a competitive food‑athlete in training. Together they dive into movies, books, travel revelations, and why Europe is cleaner, happier, and apparently full of naked children running through parks.It's messy, it's hilarious, it's unhinged — it's Chit Chat.

Most people think trust is something you either have or you don't. Ann Merrit Rikke Nielsen, assistant professor at the University of Copenhagen and vice director of Centre for Interaction Research and Communication Design (CIRCD,) thinks it is something you build, one turn of conversation at a time. In this episode, we talk about why trust is nearly invisible until the moment it is tested, and why Ann stopped trusting surveys and interviews to study it. Instead, she records real conversations between social workers and the vulnerable citizens they support, and listens back  - sometimes pause by pause  - for the exact second trust is built or broken. Ann brings a recording to illustrate this: a man recently released from prison, listing the changes he has made, stumbles mid-sentence over a word he doesn't want to say. What his caseworker does in the next eighteen seconds decides whether he will trust this institution more than the last one. In another recording, a client discloses a relapse — and it is the caseworker's silence, not her words, that keeps the trust intact. Ann also introduces a method she calls “the Montessori of trust”: playing practitioners' own recordings back to them, so they discover for themselves what built or broke the trust in the room. Why does trust rarely get spoken out loud, even by the people building it every day? And what does it actually sound like when it works?

From her studio in Copenhagen, Lyngby-born Danish composer and cellist JOSEFINE OPSAHL talks about her dual roles as a classical music composer and a cellist who performs with live electronics and sound design. She elaborates on performativity, the forces of life that are at stake in her music, and her breaking down genre boundaries and dissolving physical ones. And Josefine traces her creative journey through her albums Atrium, Cytropia, and her HANDS Concerto for Solo Cello and Orchestra.----------For today's episode, Josefine Opsahl chose Richard Serra's Equal from 2015 from the collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York.https://www.moma.org/collection/works/193590 ----------Photographer: Tomas Kaerup----------This conversation with Gregers Heering occurred on May 8, 2026.----------We invite you to subscribe to Danish Originals for weekly episodes.

No “Estadão Analisa” desta quinta-feira, 23, Carlos Andreazza fala sobre a fase que vive o filho 01 de Jair Bolsonaro. O senador e pré-candidato à presidência da República, Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), recebeu R$ 500 mil de uma empresa, cujo dono está envolvido no esquema do Banco Master, de Daniel Vorcaro. A relação aparece em uma nota fiscal, emitida em 9 de abril de 2025 pelo escritório de advocacia que leva o nome do senador. O documento, revelado pelo Metrópoles e confirmado pelo Estadão, indica que Flávio Bolsonaro, que é advogado, prestou serviço de “assessoria jurídica” à empresa Contábil Correa Contabilidade & Auditoria LTDA. A empresa tem como sócio-administrador Rogério Lourenço Novo, que também é diretor da Copenhagen e Assessoria e Consultoria S.A, empresa do conglomerado do Master. Em vídeo divulgado nas redes sociais, o senador confirmou ter prestado serviços de advogado para Contabil Correa por meio de um contrato privado e legal. O presidenciável, porém, não explicou quais teriam sido os serviços jurídicos e disse que estão tentando “marginalizar a advocacia” Em outra frente, os candidatos Renan Santos (Missão) e Ronaldo Caiado (PSD) criticaram as declarações do senador sobre urnas eletrônicas em encontro com embaixadores. Flávio, que também é pré-candidato à Presidência, participou nesta terça-feira, 21, em Brasília, de encontro com embaixadores estrangeiros. Durante o evento, o senador pediu que os países enviem “a maior quantidade de observadores possíveis” para as eleições. Já no Rio de Janeiro, o ex-governador do Estado, Anthony Garotinho (Republicanos-RJ), disse à Coluna do Estadão que gravou um vídeo negando a participação de Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) na chamada “noite das astronautas”, uma suposta festa sexual promovida por Daniel Vorcaro, a pedido do próprio presidenciável do PL. Procurado, Flávio não se pronunciou. O 'Estadão Analisa' é transmitido ao vivo de segunda a sexta-feira, às 7h, no Youtube e redes sociais do Estadão.

Confira no Morning Show desta quinta-feira (23): O governo federal anunciou o plano “Brasil Soberano 3” que libera R$ 18,5 bilhões em linhas de crédito para empresas afetadas pelo novo tarifaço imposto pelos Estados Unidos e outras áreas consideradas estratégicas. Do valor total, R$ 13 bilhões são recursos do tesouro nacional não utilizados em programas anteriores e os outros R$ 5 bilhões do Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES). A circulação dos trens das linhas 11-Coral, 12-Safira e 13-Jade foi interrompida temporariamente na manhã desta quinta-feira (23), após uma ocorrência afetar o fornecimento de energia entre as estações Brás e Sebastião Gualberto. Em um dos trens da linha 12, passageiros filmaram faíscas no lado externo e depois fogo dentro do vagão. Apesar do transtorno e do medo dos passageiros, ninguém se feriu no ocorrido. O senador e pré-candidato à Presidência da República Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), teria recebido R$ 1,5 milhão em três pagamentos através de seu escritório de advocacia contratado por uma empresa ligada a Daniel Vorcaro. O senador ainda teria cancelado as notas fiscais referentes aos serviços prestados. A empresa, Copenhagen é de propriedade do fundo de investimentos Estônia, gerido pela Trustee DTVM, investigada pela PF por ocultar valores de Vorcaro. O Anuário Brasileiro de Segurança Pública de 2026 foi lançado no Fórum Brasileiro de Segurança Pública e aponta dados preocupantes acerca de golpes e furtos digitais. Enquanto no ano de 2018 foram registrados 426 mil casos, em 2025 foram mais de 2 milhões de ocorrências, um aumento de 420%. São 258 golpes por hora em todo o país. A Interpol descobriu que uma quadrilha operava uma delegacia falsa da Polícia Federal brasileira em Essuatíni, um pequeno país na África próximo de Moçambique. Os criminosos miravam cidadãos brasileiros e aplicavam golpes financeiros com o pretexto de proteção de contas bancárias de turistas. A Justiça americana marcou o julgamento do ditador venezuelano Nicolás Maduro e de sua esposa Cília Flores, presos em Nova Iorque desde janeiro, para julho de 2027. Os dois estão sob custódia desde a invasão americana à Venezuela, que pôs fim ao governo de 13 anos de Maduro. O governo da Nicarágua cassou o registro de todos os advogados do país. A medida vem após Daniel Ortega anunciar o fim das eleições durante o aniversário da Revolução Sandinista, em meio a uma escalada autoritária sem precedentes. O presidente americano, Donald Trump, supostamente quer indicar Gianni Infantino, presidente da FIFA, como candidato a Secretário-Geral das Nações Unidas. A eleição é rotativa por continente, e a próxima só deve ser disputada por candidatos indicados por países da América Latina. O Brasil está próximo de se tornar o principal exportador agrícola do mundo, desbancando uma liderança histórica dos Estados Unidos. A informação foi divulgada por uma reportagem do Financial Times Em 2025, os EUA exportaram apenas US$ 2 bilhões a mais do que o Brasil. Em Valinhos, no interior de São Paulo, um empresário foi preso em flagrante após jogar a namorada de um carro em movimento. Uma câmera registrou o momento da agressão, mostrando o homem empurrando a companheira do veículo. A Netflix anunciou a compra de uma startup de inteligência artificial voltada para produções cinematográficas criada pelo ator Ben Affleck e gera debate sobre o uso de IA em filmes e séries. Anitta LeBrun, uma idosa de 88 anos de Minnesota, nos Estados Unidos, chamou atenção ao liderar uma campanha para mudar uma lei que proibia que bebidas alcoólicas fossem servidas em casas de repouso.

Chuck Todd opens with a story that seems small and turns out to be a perfect miniature of everything wrong with this Pentagon: a Blue Angels flyover at Pensacola Beach came in too low, the pilot who made the honest mistake felt terrible about it — and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, without bothering to establish a single fact about what happened, seized the moment to gloat and own the libs. Chuck calls Hegseth an absolute clown and a fake soldier, argues the incident is a window into a Pentagon where the boss cares more about winning an online argument than about the safety of the people he commands, and where the entire "military testosterone" discourse — Hegseth's fixation on creating "supertrooper" fighting men is both dumb and genuinely dangerous. His verdict: a great American military culture is being actively degraded. He extends the same argument to ICE, where the violence has been entirely predictable — the officer involved in the latest shooting had enormous red flags in his background, and the agency appears to have no meaningful vetting process at all. He also explains why, contrary to much of the commentary, he wasn't alarmed by Trump's primetime election-denial address: it was a nothingburger. Trump has no evidence, which is why he keeps turning to cranks — his endorsement of Mike Lindell tells you everything — and there's no policy response attached to his own foreign-interference allegations, since China has faced no sanction whatsoever for what Trump claims it did. He argues American elections are extraordinarily hard to overturn precisely because the system is decentralized, that Trump is too lazy to become a Putin or a Mao… A more disciplined president would frighten Chuck far more. Chuck sees a forever war taking shape in Iran: the strategy amounts to throwing kinetic weight at the problem and hoping the regime collapses, while Iran fights the asymmetric war it always planned, targeting Gulf states and now civilian survival infrastructure — hitting desalination plants could trigger a crisis lasting years — and nobody in Washington actually knows how to win. He closes with a genuinely important profile of Undersecretary Elbridge Colby, the intellectual architect of the new right's foreign policy and a favorite of JD Vance, whose vision of American retreat from its allies would effectively be the policy of a President Vance: Colby has trashed Mark Carney's "middle power" strategy and declared that no country is entitled to the American defense industry — which, notes, misses that buying military hardware is a 30-year bet on trusting an ally, and middle powers who conclude they can be coerced by Washington will simply take their money somewhere else. Quick hits on a messy Wisconsin governor's race (Tony Evers built no infrastructure and left no obvious heir in one of the country's most misunderstood swing states) and Tuesday's Arizona primary round things out. Then, bestselling novelist Daniel Silva — creator of the Gabriel Allon series — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a conversation that starts with the craft of spy fiction and quickly becomes something closer to a threat assessment. Silva's newest plot turns on drones, and he's blunt that this isn't speculative: he believes it's a matter of time before a drone carries out an assassination or a mass-casualty attack. He talks about the strange responsibility of writing a fictional event that could plausibly happen next month, why he deliberately withholds visual detail so readers build the scene themselves, and what he learned reporting out how modern kidnappings and ransom negotiations actually work. The darker current running underneath is his read on American intelligence: the FBI is no longer the same place, the U.S. is jettisoning allies and hollowing out its agencies, and Silva poses the question a novelist is uniquely positioned to ask — if you're the GRU right now, where would you most want an asset placed? He notes that the best assets often don't know they're assets, that NATO held a crisis meeting about Trump, and that this is precisely the moment to be putting the screws to a vulnerable Putin, since Ukraine has victory in sight and isn't desperate for any deal. The conversation turns personal when Chuck asks how Silva handles Israel's collapsing global reputation in a series built around an Israeli intelligence officer. Silva says the shift was entirely foreseeable, that he has no interest in writing about Gaza, and that what saddens him most is the "fortress Israel" mindset — a country founded on European-style socialist ideals now convinced it can go it alone, siloed from the world, while antisemitism surges globally in a way he warns only ever needs the right set of circumstances to reignite. He and Chuck range across the forces reshaping the century: giant corporations approaching the power of nation-states, a new generation of the ultra-wealthy who simply don't believe in philanthropy, AI's capacity to wipe out the knowledge economy, and Silva's conviction that the next great political crisis may be a climate-driven natural disaster — noting that the last major El Niño produced famines that killed millions, that today's migration patterns are already climate-driven, and that people are dying right now as a direct result of cutting humanitarian aid. He's unsparing on writing and AI), amused and appalled that Trump has turned the National Mall into a mess with a reflecting pool gone "Kermit green," and closes on the question every prolific novelist gets asked and rarely answers honestly: does he ever actually rest? Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to draw parallels between the arguments in modern American politics to the argument between Richard Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev in the infamous “kitchen debate” and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

North Macedonia has waited 21 years at the EU's door. Zoran Dimitrovski and Linas Kojala ask what delay now costs Europe. Look at a map and the unresolved logic is striking. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia are almost entirely surrounded by EU and NATO members. These countries are not on some distant European frontier. They form an enclave within the Union's own geography. In 2003, at the Thessaloniki summit, the EU promised the Western Balkans a European future. More than two decades later, Croatia remains the last country to have joined, back in 2013. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, enlargement has shifted from a slow technical process to an urgent geopolitical question: what happens when Europe leaves a space inside its own borders unfilled? My guests brought two unusually powerful perspectives to that question. Zoran Dimitrovski, North Macedonia's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, spent 35 years as a journalist before entering government. He edited some of his country's leading newspapers, reported from Washington, wrote more than 1,500 articles and investigations, and continues to teach critical thinking and analytical writing. Alongside him was Linas Kojala, CEO of the Geopolitics and Security Studies Center in Vilnius and a lecturer at Vilnius University. A Fulbright scholar with studies at Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard, Kojala has written about Lithuania's own journey into the European Union and has been ranked among his country's most influential public figures. Twenty-one years at the front door North Macedonia became an EU candidate in 2005, around the same time as Croatia. Yet it still has not opened substantive accession negotiations. The country first faced a long dispute with Greece over its name, eventually resolved through the Prespa Agreement and the adoption of the name North Macedonia. That opened the way into NATO. A second dispute then emerged with neighbouring Bulgaria, involving language, identity, history and the recognition of a Bulgarian community within North Macedonia's constitution. Zoran Dimitrovski did not deny the work still required within his own country. North Macedonia must continue aligning its laws with the EU, strengthening the judiciary and fighting corruption. His argument was that these shortcomings were not the principal reason the country had been stopped. This describes one of the demands that, in Dimitrovski's view, reach beyond the Copenhagen criteria governing democratic institutions, human rights, the rule of law and a functioning market economy. There is, however, responsibility on both sides of the border and both sides of the accession table. The European Parliament's latest assessment expresses regret at North Macedonia's lack of progress, calling for the constitutional amendments, stronger cross-party cooperation and deeper reforms. Yet that same resolution warns that bilateral disputes over language, culture and national identity should not be used to obstruct accession. This is the uncomfortable heart of the story: the EU must remain demanding enough for membership to retain meaning, while remaining fair enough for its promises to retain credibility. The rules were written for a different Europe Kojala argued that the enlargement machinery itself must adapt to a radically altered security landscape. The process still requires unanimity at critical stages, allowing one member state to hold up another country's progress. Under normal circumstances, such caution might be defensible. These, he stressed, are not normal circumstances. The EU's decision-making can be painfully slow because 27 governments must agree on decisions touching sovereignty, money and national interest. Kojala compared it to 27 friends attempting to choose a restaurant, except that several of them may not be friends and the decisions are monumental. The central question is therefore whether procedures devised 20 years ago are still adequate for a Europe facing war, cyber-attacks, sabotage, disinformation and growing competition from authoritarian powers. Railways, bridges and the architecture of security EU enlargement may sound abstract, but it rapidly becomes concrete. It is about railway lines, bridges, roads, energy systems and digital networks. Dimitrovski pointed to Corridors VIII and X, which cross North Macedonia and connect the Adriatic, Black and Aegean Seas with wider Europe. These routes matter for trade and daily life, but also for NATO's ability to move personnel and equipment across the continent. A bridge too weak to carry military vehicles is simultaneously an infrastructure problem, an economic weakness and a security vulnerability. Kojala offered a useful challenge to the language of cost. Security spending is often discussed as money disappearing from productive use. Yet roads, schools, housing, communications and transport capacity remain in the communities where they are built. The same is true of enlargement: investment in the Western Balkans is not charity at Europe's edge. It is investment in the resilience of the continent as a whole. A vacuum rarely stays empty Russia remains an influential force in Serbia and parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Chinese lending and infrastructure investment have expanded across the region. Dimitrovski was careful not to suggest that the Western Balkans would simply abandon Europe for Moscow or Beijing. His warning was more subtle. Prolonged uncertainty can produce weaker institutions, frustrated populations and a region increasingly exposed to financial pressure, political manipulation and disinformation. Europe therefore faces a choice that is larger than whether another flag appears outside the institutions in Brussels. It must decide whether the Western Balkans are genuinely part of its future, and demonstrate that belief through fair conditions, credible timelines and visible results. Kojala described the European Union as something close to a “boring miracle”: cumbersome, imperfect and endlessly predicted to collapse, yet remarkably capable of adapting and surviving. That miracle now requires another act of political imagination. The Western Balkans have spent more than 20 years hearing that their future lies inside the European Union. Europe may now need to ask a harder question of itself: how long can a promise remain credible before waiting becomes its own form of rejection?

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Alexiana Fry, who is guest researcher at the University of Copenhagen and the author of Esther Keeps the Score: Trauma, Body, and Politics in the Hebrew Bible (SCM Press). Our conversation explores what a trauma-informed reading of Esther would look like, highlighting how much more complexity there is to a biblical narrative that is already quite a complicated story (despite how simply it gets retold so often). Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: Dr. John Anthony Dunne, Dr. Brandon Hurlbert, and Rev. Dr. Madison Pierce. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Israeli art restorer and spy Gabriel Allon is as real as George Smiley or Hercule Poirot. He even has his own Wikipedia page. The CNN special correspondent Jamie Gangel describes herself on X as a friend of Gabriel Allon before she gets around to mentioning her husband, the best-selling thriller writer Daniel Silva who, of course, is the creator of Allon. As with all successful literary inventions, of course, Silva is as much Allon as Allon is Silva. Silva-Allon. Amongst the most lucrative partnerships in contemporary fiction. Unsurprisingly, Silva still hasn't managed to kill off Allon. Twenty-six books into the series, the retired Mossad legend turned Venice art restorer is the truest fake spy in the business — a character so real that Silva, who seems to revel in his insularity, has to lock himself away from imagining how readers receive him. Or perhaps he's locking himself away from Allon. In Ransom, out today, a billionaire real estate baron asks Allon to find his vanished wife, the dazzling socialite Alice Winter — who has, of course, a darker life. Behind Silva's latest summer best-seller looms Russia's shadow war on Europe. That's the post-cold war cold war politics of Ransom. Unit 29155, the GRU's sabotage specialists, are hitting pipelines and flying drones over Copenhagen, an MI6 officer describes the Russians as feral animals, and Ransom's climax unfolds at an emergency Downing Street summit with Zelensky without the United States in the room. It's a terrifying narrative as real as Gabriel Allon. Five Takeaways •       An Art Restorer Who Used to Be a Spy. Gabriel Allon was invented for one book — a 1999 novel inspired by the Camp David peace process, written like a demon in a cottage near Land's End — and was never meant to continue. Twenty-six books later, Silva has flipped the character's formula: once an operative whose cover was art restoration, Allon is now an art restorer who used to be a spy, formally retired and living in Venice. As for his age, Silva freezes time the way Christie froze Poirot: Allon is aging in reverse, quite intentionally, and Silva will write him for as long as people want to read him. •       Russia's Shadow War on Europe. The serious spine of Ransom is the campaign of sabotage and subversion that Russia is waging against all of Western Europe — the GRU's Unit 29155 hitting pipelines, running hacking operations, and flying the drones that shut down Copenhagen Airport and pushed Denmark toward its highest state of alert. One MI6 officer tells Silva the Russians are acting like feral animals, and the worse the battlefield goes, the more aggressive the sabotage becomes. Silva has been here before: Moscow Rules put him ahead of the curve on Putin in 2008, and Allon's personal war with Putinism enters its latest round. •       Writing an Israeli Hero After October 7. Allon is the old Israeli liberal establishment made flesh — secular, social-democratic, the Ashkenazi security elite whose surviving members now oppose the conduct of the war. Silva, an avowed two-stater, saw the change coming years before October 7: quoting his friend Richard Haass, this is not your parents' or grandparents' Israel. Allon, he insists, would never serve in a cabinet alongside far-right extremists like Ben-Gvir and Smotrich — and they wouldn't have him. What happened on October 7 was barbaric, Silva says, but this war has gone on far too long. •       The Super Rich, With a Judgmental Eye. It's fun to write about the rich — the jets, the expensive toys, the glamour of Venice, Knightsbridge, and Ibiza — but Silva does it for a specific reason: to draw the contrast between how they live and how the rest of us live. A new global super elite is checking out from everyone else, he argues — unwilling to pay taxes, to educate the young, or to care for the sick — so Ransom balances the socialite's world against an encampment of homeless seasonal workers on Ibiza. Britain itself gets the same treatment: austerity, seven prime ministers in a decade, and shires where nobody is doing very well. •       Pencils on the Floor. Silva calls himself a literary novelist masquerading as a thriller writer, and his working methods match the self-description: he lies on the floor and writes with pencils, keeping technology as far from the work as possible. AI appears in Ransom only because the plot demanded it — a proof-of-life photograph that has to be checked for deepfakery, in a world where even presidents fake pictures. The thought of asking AI to write for him prompts a simple question: what would be the point? A book a year since 1997, and book 27 began the day after this one was finished. About the Guest Daniel Silva is the award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author of twenty-six Gabriel Allon novels, including The Kill Artist, Moscow Rules, Portrait of an Unknown Woman, A Death in Cornwall, and An Inside Job. His books are published in more than thirty countries. He lives in Florida with his wife, CNN special correspondent Jamie Gangel — who describes herself on X as a friend of Gabriel Allon before mentioning her husband. His new novel is Ransom (HarperCollins, July 14, 2026). References: •       Ransom by Daniel Silva (HarperCollins, July 14, 2026) — book 26 of the Gabriel Allon series. James Patterson: “Silva can really write, the bastard.” •       Moscow Rules (2008) — the novel Silva is proudest of, which put him ahead of the curve on Putin and began Allon's personal war with the Russian secret services. •       The Kill Artist (2001) — Allon's first appearance, inspired by the Camp David peace process and written in a rented cottage near Land's End. •       Unit 29155 — the real GRU sabotage unit behind the pipeline attacks, hacking operations, and drone incursions that drive the novel's plot, including the 2025 shutdown of Copenhagen Airport. •       John le Carré — whose George Smiley, Silva concedes, needs no advice from Gabriel Allon, though the two would have got on had they met on Bywater Street. •       Richard Haass — the foreign policy analyst and friend of Silva's whose line frames the Israel discussion: this is not your parents' or your grandparents' Israel any longer. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic.
