Med BRICS-samarbetet som verktyg vill Kina flytta fram sina globala positioner. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. BRICS blir ett allt viktigare instrument för regeringen i Peking att befästa sin vision om en ny världsordning med tyngdpunkt utanför västvärlden. När så BRICS-länderna samlades i New Delhi i förra veckan var Kinas ambition att cementera sin roll som ekonomisk och politisk motor inom samarbetet.Men fler länder har maktambitioner inom BRICS och ser med oro på Kinas positionering. Framförallt är det Kinas stora granne i söder, Indien, som hyser misstro mot Kina och tvingar regeringen i Peking att noggrant begrunda sin strategi.Hur använder sig Kina av BRICS för att främja sina positioner och vilka avvägningar tvingas landet till? Hur viktigt är samarbetet för Kina och vilka risker finns det med det fördjupade samarbetet?Medverkande: Moa Kärnstrand, Kinakorrespondent och Henrik Chetan Aspengren, chef för Utrikespolitiska institutets Asienprogram.Programledare: Björn DjurbergProducent: Jon JeppssonKällor ljudklipp: al-Jazeera, FirstPost och Deutsche Welle.

Au sommaire : En République démocratique du Congo, retour sur les heurts qui ont éclaté ce mardi (15 septembre 2026) dans la capitale Kinshasa entre des partisans de l'opposition et des militants favorables au gouvernement, alors que la coalition C64 avait appelé à manifester contre le projet de modification de la Constitution. Aux États-Unis, l'administration Trump a annoncé de nouvelles restrictions concernant la délivrance de visas à certains ressortissants sud-africains accusés d'être impliqués dans des politiques de discrimination raciale ou d'expropriation foncière sans indemnisation. Cette décision, que l'Afrique du Sud conteste, risque-t-elle d'aggraver davantage les relations entre les deux pays ? Depuis lundi (14 septembre 2026), les rebelles houthis poursuivent leur offensive au Yémen, prenant notamment le contrôle de plusieurs positions et îles stratégiques en mer Rouge, tandis que les combats avec les forces soutenues par l'Arabie saoudite s'intensifient. Cette nouvelle escalade fait craindre une aggravation de la crise humanitaire et des perturbations sur une route maritime essentielle. Enfin que penser de la proposition de Ursula von der Leyen au Canada, en pleine guerre commerciale avec les États-Unis, de devenir le premier pays « membre associé » de l'Union européenne ?   Chaque semaine, des journalistes et éditorialistes africains décryptent l'actualité africaine et internationale. Avec la participation de : Lanciné Bakayoko, journaliste à la RTI Nouhou Baldé, fondateur et administrateur du site Guinéematin Eric Topona, journaliste tchadien au sein de la rédaction Afrique francophone de la Deutsche Welle.

Many people have written about the dismantling of the U.S. global order and that countries are turning to China for new leadership. While this may be overblown, as many countries don't seem to be abandoning the US totally, it does seem clear that fewer countries view the world in the same way. Whether it is India continuing to buy Russian oil, or fewer countries reliably voting with the U.S. at the United Nations, or the idea that the U.S. promotes stability and peace, it seems America has lost its ability to rally the world. In this month's episode, we explore with Sarwar Kashmeri, host of the Polaris Live web series, how the world has left the United States behind and forged new strucutures and alliances to secure their own national interests. He also outlines the ways in which the U.S. could regain its lost status and begin to retake global ground it has ceded to China. By rebuilding relationships, recommitting ourselves to the international order, and leading with values, the United States can live up to its lofty goals for itself and the world. This is not easy work and is strengthened by friendships, which requires an engaged and informed voter base to demand it from their government.Sarwar Kashmeri is an international relations specialist, author, and commentator, noted for his expertise on U.S. global strategy and national security.He speaks frequently before business, foreign policy and military audiences. He is the founder and host of Polaris-Live. com, “United States and China in the world,” a live internet video program featuring 30 minute conversations on the business and geopolitical impact of China's rapid rise to superpower status.Kashmeri is author of the Foreign Policy Association's report “The Telegram: A China Agenda For President Biden“ (2021); “The Telegram II: The Business of America and China is Business“(2022); “China's Grand Strategy: Weaving a New Silk Road to Global Primacy,” (Bloomsbury), his third book, was published in July 2019. It is a centennial book of the Foreign Policy Association where Sarwar is a Senior Fellow. The book was released at a Washington D.C. launch featuring Kashmeri and former U.S. Defense Secretary, Chuck Hagel.He is also an Applied Research Fellow of the Peace and War Center of Norwich University, Vermont, USA  and served a four year term as a non-residential Senior Fellow at the Brent Scowcroft Center for International Security of the Atlantic Council in Washington D.C.Kashmeri has hosted “China Focus,” a podcast series for the Carnegie Corporation of New York and discussed China's Belt and Road Initiative on television with Deutsche Welle, the German news network, and in a series of interviews with Xinhua, China's global news agency.

Conducido por Juan Fernando Villafuerte Ex colaborador de la Deutsche Welle de Alemania y la Elizabeth Trabanino, Directora de Radio Clasica, quienes a traves de una tertulia contaran las historias que se esconden detras de las operas a manera de poner en contexto al publico sobre el origen de estas grandes composiciones.

Chịu nhiều lớp trừng phạt của quốc tế nhất trên thế giới từ năm 1979, Iran đã tìm một hướng đi riêng để cứu vãn nền kinh tế. Bên cạnh ngành dầu khí, sản xuất vũ khí là cột trụ thứ nhì của kinh tế quốc gia Hồi Giáo này. Đâu là những bí quyết để « công nghiệp quốc phòng » trở thành điểm mạnh của nền kinh tế luôn bên bờ vực thẳm ? Giới chuyên gia thậm chí nói đến « những nét đặc thù » trong mô hình công nghiệp quốc phòng Iran. Từ khi khai chiến với Teheran cuối tháng 2/2026, Washington chủ trương bóp ngạt kinh tế Iran dẫn đến sự sụp đổ của chế độ trong tay Lực Lượng Vệ Binh Cách Mạng. Sau gần nửa năm xung đột với Iran, tổng thống Trump bắt đầu nóng ruột. Hôm 09/08/2026 ông cam đoan sẽ « giáng đòn mạnh vào kinh tế Iran ». Bộ trưởng Tài Chính Scott Bessent đe dọa Iran sẽ sớm « hứng chịu những biện pháp mạnh tay chưa từng thấy ». Báo chí bình luận Nhà Trắng không chỉ đe dọa « dội bom, xóa sổ Iran », nay đang nhắm tới những loại vũ khí « kinh tế » để Teheran phải nhượng bộ, đặc biệt là giải tỏa eo biển Hormuz. Chính sách cấm vận và hiệu quả ? Cuối tháng 7/2026 Mỹ đánh tiếng sẽ áp dụng một loạt các biện pháp trừng phạt mới, phong tỏa kinh tế Iran. Trả lời báo Les Echos chuyên gia về Iran Clément Therme, cộng tác viên Viện Quan Hệ Quốc Tế Pháp IFRI nói đến một « kỷ lục » Iran đang nắm giữ về những « lớp » trừng phạt chồng chất khác nhau.   « Có nhiều cấp trừng phát khác nhau : có những biện pháp của cộng đồng quốc tế, của một số quốc gia trong khối phương Tây, của Liên Hiệp Quốc ... Bên cạnh đó là những quyết định đơn phương, nhắm vào một số các tổ chức tư nhân hay của chính phủ, nhắm vào một số nhân vật trong chính quyền, trong giới tướng lĩnh Iran. Về mặt lý thuyết, Iran liên tục bị trừng phạt từ năm 1979 sau vụ Teheran bắt giữ 52 nhà ngoại giao Hoa Kỳ làm con tin ».   Lệnh trừng phạt đa phương hay song phương của cộng đồng quốc tế nhắm vào Iran bao gồm các biện pháp phong tỏa, cấm mua bán dầu hỏa, khí đốt của Iran, cấm cung cấp vũ khí cho quốc gia Hồi Giáo này, cấm xuất khẩu thiết bị và phần mềm cho Teheran, hạn chế các khoản giao dịch tài chính, ngân hàng, cấm thanh toán bằng đô la, cấm đầu tư vào Iran, phong tỏa tài sản của một số cá nhân và doanh nghiệp… Đương nhiên tất cả những biện pháp này đè nặng lên đời sống của người dân Iran. 300 % lạm phát ? Tình hình càng trở nên ngặt nghèo hơn dưới tác động của chiến tranh Ukraina từ 2022, của cuộc xung đột vũ trang 12 ngày đêm với Nhà nước Do Thái hồi tháng 6/2025 và nhất là với cuộc chiến với Mỹ và Israel từ cuối tháng 2/2026. Quỹ Tiền Tệ Quốc Tế thẩm định, GDP của Iran năm nay do tác động chiến tranh sẽ giảm 5,4 %. Teheran cũng thừa nhận vì chiến tranh, lạm phát trong cả năm sẽ ở mức ngạt thở gần 90 %. Tại Washington, Donald Trump nói đến một nền kinh tế của Iran đã « hoàn toàn khánh tận » với lạm phát lên tới 300 %. Trong mắt chuyên gia kinh tế Ahamad Alavi làm việc cho một tổ chức tại Thụy Điển được báo Deutsche Welle trích dẫn thì cuộc chiến lần này đang đẩy thêm từ 3,5 đến 4,5 triệu dân Iran vào cảnh bần cùng. Nhưng đó không phải là mối quan tâm số 1 của chế độ trong tay Lực Lượng Vệ Binh Hồi Giáo, như Thierry Coville, Viện Quan Hệ Quốc Tế và Chiến Lược IRIS phân tích với báo Les Echos. Người dân có khổ cực, thì cỗ máy kinh tế để kiếm tiền nuôi chế độ vẫn vận hành gần như suôn sẻ : « Nhìn vào những kết quả từ 15 năm trở lại đây, chúng ta thấy kinh tế Iran đã khổ sở vì các biện pháp trừng phạt. Trung bình lạm phát dao động từ 30 đến 40 % một năm, thế nhưng thực ra chế độ vẫn tồn tại bất chấp áp lực rất lớn của phương Tây. Iran cầm cự được chủ yếu là nhờ hai lĩnh vực : Năng lượng và quốc phòng. Năm 2024 Iran vẫn xuất khẩu 1,5 triệu thùng dầu mỗi ngày, gần như tuyệt đối là để bán cho Trung Quốc. Để xuất khẩu dầu khí, năng lượng thì Iran sử dụng những hạm đội tàu ma, mua bán qua một hệ thống ‘chợ đen', chấp nhận thanh toán bằng nhân dân tệ của Trung Quốc hay bằng tiền crypto (…) ». Kỹ thuật lạc hậu Mối bận tâm lớn nhất đối với chế độ Iran là chính sách trừng phạt liên tiếp hạn chế quốc gia này phát triển và tiếp cận với công nghệ mới. Clément Therme, Viện IFRI giải thích : « Thí dụ như vì không tiếp cận được với công nghệ khai thác năng lượng ở ngoài khơi mà ngành công nghiệp khí đốt của Iran bị tụt hậu, bỏ lỡ cơ hội. Thí dụ này rất tiêu biểu cho cái mà tôi gọi là vì cơ hội bị bỏ lỡ. Iran trả giá đắt cho chính sách dựa trên hệ tư tưởng của chế độ (…) » Nhưng điểm mạnh của Lực Lượng Vệ Binh Cách Mạng Iran là khả năng thích nghi với tình huống. Chuyên gia Coville bên Viện Quan Hệ Quốc Tế và Chiến Lược, phân tích, chính những biện pháp trừng phạt kéo dài từ nhiều thập niên qua đã cho phép Teheran đào sâu quan hệ với các đối tác khác, đặc biệt là với Nga và Trung Quốc : « Đầu những năm 2000 Iran đẩy mạnh trao đổi mậu dịch với các quốc gia trong khu vực. Irak nhanh chóng trở thành đối tác thương mại quan trọng nhất của Teheran. Từ khi chế độ Saddam Hussein sụp đổ, ngoài các sản phẩm chế biến từ dầu ra thì Irak là khách hàng quan trọng nhất. Bên cạnh đó, Iran đã mở rộng ảnh hưởng với Afghanistan, với các quốc gia Trung Á. Thế rồi từ sau 2018 khi ông Trump rút nước Mỹ khỏi thỏa thuận hạt nhân Iran thì Teheran đã thắt chặt quan hệ với Trung Quốc ». Drone Shahed, thành công của một sự kết hợp từ 3 yếu tố Cũng chính vì không tiếp cận được những công nghệ mới, với các thiết bị điện tử càng lúc càng tinh vi cho nên Iran tương kế tựu kế : Chuyển sang chế tạo drone giá rẻ và lại dễ sử dụng, không quá tốn kém trong khâu sản xuất và nhất là không cần công nghệ tối tân. Tháng 9/2022, vài tháng sau khi Nga xâm lược Ukraina, thế giới ngỡ ngàng phát hiện drone Iran trên bầu trời Kiev. Teheran cung cấp drone cho quân đội Nga. Làm thế nào một quốc gia chịu các lệnh trừng phạt trong hơn bốn thập kỷ lại có thể làm thay đổi cục diện của các cuộc xung đột quốc tế? Những yếu tố nào đã tạo nên thành công đó? Chuyên gia quân sự Akram Kharief nghiên cứu về drone Iran giải thích : Từ 1979 dưới áp lực các lệnh trừng phạt, Teheran đã tìm kiếm những giải pháp để thoát khỏi bế tắc. Bí quyết của Iran để phát triển công nghiệp - đặc biệt là công nghiêp quốc phòng khá đơn giản : Thứ nhất là kết hợp năng lực kỹ thuật trong nước với các đối tác nước ngoài, đứng đầu là Nga. Thứ hai là khai thác công nghệ trong lĩnh vực dân sự để sử dụng trong các mục tiêu quân sự, « trám vào những lỗ hổng », hậu quả từ lệnh cấm vận quốc tể để lại. Cuối cùng chọn những giải pháp kỹ thuật đơn giản không đòi hỏi những phụ tùng hay linh kiện quá hiện đại - vốn không thể tiếp cận. Drone Shahed của Iran là thí dụ tiêu biểu nhất cho thấy sự kết hợp thành công từ những yếu tố vừa nêu. Chuyên gia Julia Tomasso, viện nghiên cứu và chiến lược IRIS, trong một bài tham luận hôm 28/02/2025 (tức đúng 1 năm trước khi Iran bị Hoa Kỳ tấn công), phân tích một cách cụ thể hơn khi cho rằng : Iran biết là không thể chỉ trông cậy vào vũ khí do Nga cung cấp cho nên từ nhiều năm qua đã phải tự lo bằng cách chọn những công nghệ low cost, sử dụng một cách hiệu quả nhất những nguồn lực và phương tiện ít ỏi trong tay, đồng thời thích nghi với môi trường địa chính trị. Chính vì thế mà drone giá rẻ (Shahed 136, Mohajer 6) của Iran hiện đang được xuất khẩu sang nhiều quốc gia, trong đó có Nga và Soudan hay Ethiopia. Giá thành của mỗi đơn vị chỉ vài ngàn đô la. Về điều mà tác giả bài viết gọi là « tận dụng tối đa những phương tiện đang có » thì điển hình là việc trang bị vũ khí cho tàu chở hàng thành tàu chiến ; dùng mô-tơ xe đạp và xe máy để trang bị cho drone chiến đấu. Còn chiến thuật mà nhà nghiên cứu Julia Tomasso gọi là « sự nhạy bén trong việc nắm bắt tình hình địa chính trị », bà giải thích : Trước năm 2024 Iran từng tận dụng thời cơ các đối thủ của mình, (Mỹ và Israel) bị chia trí vì những vấn đề khác để củng cố hệ thống phòng không Zoubin. Đây là phương tiện cho phép « phát hiện drone bay ở  độ thấp » … Sự nhậy bén này chính là sức mạnh của « khả năng răn đe » mà Iran dùng để đối phó. Nhà nước kiểm soát 80 % các hoạt động kinh tế Có điều như Clément Therme ghi nhận, công nghiệp dầu khí và công nghiệp quốc phòng là mạch sống của kinh tế Iran trong suốt gần nửa thế kỷ qua nhưng chúng không đem lại thịnh vượng cho người dân Iran : 80 % các hoạt động kinh tế của Iran đều trực tiếp hoặc gián tiếp do Nhà nước kiểm soát. Ngay cả các doanh nhiệp bán tư nhân trên thực tế bên quản lý vẫn là những thành viên của « hệ thống » : « Nhà nước Iran như một kẻ săn mồi, bất kỳ lúc nào cũng có thể tịch thu các phương tiện sản xuất, thâu tóm và kiểm soát các doanh nghiệp nhỏ của tư nhân. Với các biện pháp của phương Tây, các tập đoàn quốc doanh hay do quân đội kiểm soát có phương tiện để lách cấm vận nhưng giới tiểu thương ở Iran thì không ».    Nghịch lý ở đây là các biện pháp trừng phạt chế độ ở Teheran mà phương Tây liên tục ban hành là động lực của Iran để phát triển công nghiệp, kể cả công nghiệp quốc phòng. Hơn nữa các nạn nhân đầu tiên từ chính sách cấm vận đó lại là những thành phần yêu chuộng tự do và dân chủ như nhà nghiên cứu Thierry Coville, viện IRIS, giải thích. Nếu chỉ nhìn vào hai lĩnh vực phát triển mạnh ở Iran từ hơn 4 thập niên qua là năng lượng và quốc phòng, đương nhiên cả hai cùng thua kém rất nhiều so với một quốc gia được phát triển bình thường không bị cấm vận, nhưng trong cả hai lĩnh vực này, giới cầm quyền ở Teheran đều đã chứng minh khả năng « thích nghi và sáng tạo » rất lớn. Chắc chắn là Nga và nhất là Trung Quốc với những phương tiện tài chính, kỹ thuật và cả nhân sự lớn hơn gấp bội so với của Iran, đã trông thấy trước những kẽ hở của các chính sách trừng phạt dù có tinh vi. 

Hladiny evropských veletoků jsou na minimu. Dunaj, Rýn i Pád se letos dostaly na historická minima. To komplikuje dopravu, ohrožuje úrodu i některá průmyslová odvětví. Odborníci navíc varují, že tento trend může zdražit i výrobu pitné vody.

German authorities have opened a counterterrorism investigation after police defused a drone carrying an explosive device at Leipzig Airport on Wednesday. The interior minister described the incident as a possible hybrid attack. DW correspondent Chiponda Chimbelu joins us from Berlin. Chiponda, what do we know about the incident so far? Have investigators identified any suspects or potential perpetrators? And how is Germany strengthening its defenses against drone threats?

The German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said this morning that his Government will do "everything we can" to stabilise the country's auto industry. Workers at car manufacturer Volkswagen have been roiled by the dramatic news that tens of thousands of layoffs could be on the horizon. Paul was joined by Deutsche Welle journalist Arthur Sullivan.

La controverse règne vendredi matin à Dakar à mesure que se précisent les contours de la visite de Macky Sall. Un retour éclair ce vendredi, le temps d'une audience au Palais avec son successeur Bassirou Diomaye Faye, dans le cadre de sa candidature au poste de secrétaire général des Nations unies. C'est le malaise qui s'installe dans la presse sénégalaise. La formule de Senenews dit tout : une visite, écrit le site, « finalement contestée ». Contestée, d'abord, par ceux qui n'ont rien oublié des années 2021 à 2024. Les collectifs de victimes de la répression politique sont montés au créneau. Sur Africanews, Boubacar Sèye, président de l'Association des familles des martyrs, pose le décor : « Il s'agit du retour d'un homme dont le passage à la tête de l'État reste associé à l'une des périodes les plus douloureuses de notre histoire récente. Des dizaines de personnes ont perdu la vie. » Le site Senego, lui, met les chiffres sur la douleur, plus de 65 morts, plus de 1 600 arrestations, et tranche : « Un tel bilan disqualifie Macky Sall pour promouvoir la paix, la démocratie et les droits humains. » Pour le camp de l'ancien président, une question de stature  Dans Dakaractu, l'Alliance pour la République (APR) salue « la hauteur républicaine » du chef de l'État : la candidature de Macky Sall, plaide le parti, « engage le prestige du Sénégal et la place de l'Afrique dans la gouvernance mondiale ». Le gouvernement, lui, joue le droit. Le ministre des Forces armées Yankhoba Diémé le rappelle sèchement : « Macky Sall ne fait l'objet d'aucune poursuite, encore moins d'aucune condamnation. Il est citoyen de ce pays, il a le droit d'entrer et de sortir du territoire ». Et même Aminata Touré, figure de la majorité, refuse la surenchère sur la TFM : « Je suis contre l'impunité », dit Mimi Touré, « mais à ce que je sache, Macky Sall ne fait l'objet d'aucune poursuite ». Et c'est là qu'affleure le vrai malaise, celui qui vise aussi le pouvoir en place. Car derrière Macky Sall, les victimes visent un silence : celui de la justice. Elles dénoncent, dans Senego, qu'« aucune enquête, aucune poursuite n'a eu lieu », et pointent la loi d'amnistie de mars 2024, toujours pas abrogée. L'activiste Aliou Sané dénonce crûment comment l'on déroule « le tapis rouge du palais à Macky, alors qu'aucune lumière n'est faite sur les morts ». La controverse, ce matin, renvoie donc dos à dos le Sénégal d'hier et celui d'aujourd'hui. En RDC, lutte contre le virus d'Ebola et lutte contre la violence des hommes Avec cette attaque à Nyakunde, en Ituri, à 45 km de Bunia. Des circonstances qui restent à éclaircir… Des tirs vers un centre de traitement Ebola, des patients en fuite. Pour l'activiste Christophe Munyanderu, cité dans la presse allemande Deutsche Welle, le danger est immense : « nous interpellons les autorités en urgence pour que les soignants regagnent Nyakunde ». Et ce n'est pas la première fois que ce site est frappé. En 2002, l'hôpital de Nyakunde avait été le théâtre de l'un des pires massacres du conflit Ituri. Une attaque qui tombe au pire moment, car les chiffres, eux, s'affolent 2 000 cas et 800 morts. Ce jeudi à Genève, le patron de l'OMS a sonné l'alarme. Repris par Africa Radio, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus est formel : « Il s'agit désormais de la troisième plus importante épidémie d'Ebola jamais enregistrée. Elle s'est propagée plus rapidement que toutes les précédentes. » Alors, dans ce tableau sombre, il faut regarder de l'autre côté de la frontière, où une lueur s'allume. En Ouganda, on ose presque parler de victoire. Africa Radio rapporte la scène de ce jeudi à Kampala : le dernier patient hospitalisé est sorti, guéri. Le ministre de la Santé Chris Baryomunsi savoure prudemment : « nous devons désormais compter 42 jours sans nouveau cas pour confirmer que nous avons vaincu Ebola ». Une conseillère santé de l'ambassade de France à Nairobi, citée par Africa Radio, salue un modèle : l'Ouganda « est très rigoureux, c'est un exemple que l'épidémie peut vraiment être contrôlée ».

This week, Roger Moorhouse sits down with exiled Russian journalist and Deutsche Welle commentator Konstantin Eggert for a candid look inside the Russian psyche. As Ukrainian long-range strikes push the realities of war onto Moscow's doorstep, Eggert explains why the average Russian remains passive, how the Kremlin relies on life-changing sign-up bonuses to avoid mass mobilisation, and why the regime's true vulnerability lies in economic collapse rather than social solidarity.Highlights:The Consumer Shield: Why modern Russians—who have apartments, mortgages, and holidays to lose—actively choose "learned depoliticisation" over civic responsibility.Transactional Warfare: A look at the cold, transactional nature of Russia's heavy death toll, where "coffin money" often stifles parental grief.The Prime Minister's Trap: How Russia's constitution gives current PM Mikhail Mishustin massive immediate power if Putin dies, and why the FSB might not easily keep control.A Moral Wake-up Call: Eggert's cautious, long-term hope for a future Russian civic conscience that finally learns to say "I'm sorry" to Ukraine.Join the Conversation: If you have a question about the war in Ukraine or any of the conflicts we cover, email us at podbattleground@gmail.comFollow us on:X - @PodBattlegroundInstagram - podbattlegroundProducer: James HodgsonA Goalhanger Podcast Hosted on Acast.

Straight talk on what's behind the news, recorded live at the Full Circle in Brussels. Estelle Nilsson-Julien, a reporter with Euronews, describes the killings of two very different young men, Quentin Deranque and Henry Nowak. The tragedies unleashed torrents of disinformation that put more lives at risk. Both are now held up as martyrs by the far-right. Estelle also profiles the travel influencer sanctioned by the EU but who still peddles Russian propaganda on Elon Musk's X social media platform.Natasha Mellersh, a journalist with Deutsche Welle, digs into Europe's escalating push to deport migrants. Far-right legislators chanted "send them back" after approving the plans, which raise fresh questions about the EU's commitment to human rights. Natasha also describes how countries like France are criminalizing people who help migrants even as the Spanish government appears to be charting a different course, by giving migrants the right to remain. Simon Van Dorpe from Follow the Money describes how Dutch bank ING appeared to turn a blind eye to suspected money laundering by a former EU justice commissioner. Simon also describes why the push by EU conservatives to centralize power is raising concerns about cronyism and corruption. As for the New European Bauhaus — Ursula von der Leyen's pet project to make the built environment greener — Simon says it's fallen far short of expectations. Support the show

As one of the most important geopolitical relationships in the world, the United States - China relationship has the opportunity to set the course of a number of issues that would ripple across the world. Unfortunately, it seems that misperceptions, misunderstandings, and missed opportunities abound in this vital relationship. In this month's episode, we speak with Sarwar Kashmeri, a leading international relations scholar, academic, business leader, and host of the Polaris Live program, about his recent trip to China and what insights he gathered during his travels. During his two weeks in China, a country he has not visited in over 20 years, he became confident that both sides of this relationship do not understand each other and that the only solution is exchanges, travel, and everyday interactions which can lead to a better path forward. He outlines the worldview that many in China hold and what their government seems to want from engagement with the world. This certainly is not a relationship free of critical challenges, but we can all do our part to solve them by accurately understanding what each side wants from the other.Sarwar Kashmeri is an international relations specialist, author, and commentator, noted for his expertise on U.S. global strategy and national security.He speaks frequently before business, foreign policy and military audiences. He is the founder and host of Polaris-Live. com, “United States and China in the world,” a live internet video program featuring 30 minute conversations on the business and geopolitical impact of China's rapid rise to superpower status.Kashmeri is author of the Foreign Policy Association's report “The Telegram: A China Agenda For President Biden“ (2021); “The Telegram II: The Business of America and China is Business“(2022); “China's Grand Strategy: Weaving a New Silk Road to Global Primacy,” (Bloomsbury), his third book, was published in July 2019. It is a centennial book of the Foreign Policy Association where Sarwar is a Senior Fellow. The book was released at a Washington D.C. launch featuring Kashmeri and former U.S. Defense Secretary, Chuck Hagel.He is also an Applied Research Fellow of the Peace and War Center of Norwich University, Vermont, USA  and served a four year term as a non-residential Senior Fellow at the Brent Scowcroft Center for International Security of the Atlantic Council in Washington D.C.Kashmeri has hosted “China Focus,” a podcast series for the Carnegie Corporation of New York and discussed China's Belt and Road Initiative on television with Deutsche Welle, the German news network, and in a series of interviews with Xinhua, China's global news agency.

Michaela Kuefner, Chief Political Editor with Deutsche Welle, reports on the rift between Germany and the United States, as the US prepares to withdraw 5,000 troops from their German base.

A battlefield setback in Mali sparks a much bigger question: what kind of power is Russia now, and what kind of power can it afford to be? Is it a superpower? No. Is it a great power? It depends what you mean. It certainly is not just the "gas station with nukes" of the cliche. Putin's language of “sovereign civilisation” recasts greatness as resistance rather than dominance, especially as Victory Day messaging leans on endurance. I argue Russia is a middle power that can pivot, triangulate and sometimes punch above its weight without shaping the world order. That's no bad thing. Russia (and Putin) are not "failures" as some would suggest, even if they have by no means hit their grand, aspirational goals. Russia would be a lot happier if it accepted this status but for Putin and his Homo Sovieticus peers, alas, this is not enough - and that is what has lead us all to the present unhappy place.The article I mentioned from The i Paper is here, and the Deutsche Welle video is here.The podcast's corporate partner and sponsor is Conducttr, which provides software for innovative and immersive crisis exercises in hybrid warfare, counter-terrorism, civil affairs and similar situations.You can also follow my blog, In Moscow's Shadows, and become one of the podcast's supporting Patrons and gain question-asking rights and access to exclusive extra materials including the (almost-) weekly Govorit Moskva news briefing right here. Support the show

Comment savoir ce que vivent et ce que pensent les Russes en temps de guerre quand s'informer est chaque jour plus compliqué et dangereux. Compliqué parce que la guerre a percuté et disloqué les réseaux habituels d'information des chercheurs et des journalistes spécialistes de la Russie, dangereux parce que celles et ceux qui sont nos sources d'information sont accusés par Moscou d'être des agents de l'étranger et sont réprimés. Néanmoins, d'autres façons de collecter les faits se sont peu à peu organisées et chercheurs et journalistes unissent leurs efforts pour continuer à travailler afin de savoir ce que pensent les Russes dans la diversité de leurs régions… au-delà de l'image d'une nation entièrement unie autour de son chef de guerre, Vladimir Poutine. Mais que nous racontent ces récits du quotidien, loin de la normalité affichée à Moscou ? « J'ai vu aujourd'hui, dans la Deutsche Welle, une interview d'Oleg Orlov de Mémorial qui dit en substance, vous serez peut-être étonné de voir combien de gens vont dire qu'ils ne soutenaient pas le régime de Poutine lorsque Poutine ne sera plus là. J'ai plutôt tendance à être d accord avec cette affirmation. Je pense effectivement que la majorité des Russes ne soutient pas le régime, mais comme on dit en russe, il y a des nuances. Mais je voudrais dire que, y compris chez les pro-guerre, cette petite minorité des pro-guerre, on observe des changements aujourd'hui. On voit des choses écrites qui ressemblent à « mais attendez, c'est pas ça qu'on voulait ». On ne voulait pas qu'on nous caviarde les livres, on ne voulait pas la censure, on ne voulait pas non plus qu'on enlève tous les Ikea. Alors évidemment, ça peut provoquer une sorte de rire, de moquerie, mais on voit cette fracture aussi. » Témoignage de Marina Prokovna, journaliste russe (Nom modifié). Que pense la population d'un pays continent de plus de 17 millions de km2, la Russie, organisé en une fédération de 89 entités qui totalisent plus de 143 millions d'habitants qui s'expriment en de multiples langues… Une géographie humaine et inspirante pour notre sociologue invitée Françoise Daucé, directrice d'études à l'EHESS et membre du Centre d'études russes, caucasiennes, est-européennes et centre-asiatiques autrement dit le CERCEC, qu'elle a dirigé de 2015 à 2023, Elsa Vidal, longtemps rédactrice en chef pour la langue russe à RFI et aujourd'hui chroniqueuse internationale dans le journal de 20h de BFM, télévision française, le journaliste et militant russe Serguei Parkhomenko, à l'initiative du réseau Redkollegia, qui est un réseau né il y a bientôt dix ans… donc bien avant l'agression russe du 24 février 2022 en Ukraine et Alain Blum, démographe et historien spécialiste des déplacements forcés et du goulag, représentant de Mémorial France. ► À lire : - Que pensent les Russes ?

Lower deficits and trade imbalances reduce economic pressures that drive up prices, potentially stabilizing costs for consumers and businesses.  these figures signal improving fiscal health. For context, the U.S. deficit was around $1.7 trillion in 2024; dropping it by $600 billion would bring it closer to $1.1 trillion—a substantial cut that could ease long-term debt concerns and support lower interest rates.  Lower inflation to 2% would mean steadier prices, boosting real wages and consumer confidence.   The U.S. budget deficit is the annual shortfall when government spending exceeds revenue in a given fiscal year. The national debt is the total accumulated amount owed from all past deficits (plus interest), essentially the running total of borrowed money. https://twitter.com/GuntherEagleman/status/2000268781084348516?s=20 Political/Rights https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1999945168120848428?s=20 https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/2000177646072631506?s=20 https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/2000142553815847148?s=20 https://twitter.com/HamasAtrocities/status/2000263382197481781?s=20 https://twitter.com/BNODesk/status/2000304813591118154?s=20 from pakistan https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/2000160163282727197?s=20 https://twitter.com/TheBritLad/status/2000308891104797052?s=20 https://twitter.com/Currentreport1/status/2000199214870180153?s=20 https://twitter.com/C_3C_3/status/2000055847309791603?s=20 Brown University Shooting Suspect In Custody; Gunman “Yelled Something” Before Attack On Econ Classroom  The shooter “yelled something” before the attack … Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/nicksortor/status/2000264684180746600?s=20   authorities have detained the suspect in the Brown University shooting that occurred on December 13, 2025, which left two students dead and nine others injured.  The person of interest, identified as 24-year-old Benjamin Erickson from Wisconsin (who is not a Brown student), was taken into custody early on December 14 at a hotel in Coventry, Rhode Island, about 15 miles from the campus.  Officials have confirmed no other suspects are being sought, and the investigation is ongoing.

Guns aren't making us less safe and gun laws won't solve the problem. Most of our recent mass shootings had shooters who already violated gun laws to commit their crimes. The left wing culture in America, including mass migration is making us less safe. It's the root of our problem. Fix our regressive, hedonistic, violence and evil loving culture. That will fix America. We need our country to value strength, life, love, liberty, faith and family again.

Calm down – it's not 1939. But it could end up just as bad. Today (13), it has been reported that Germany is sending soldiers to Poland, in a bid to ‘strengthen' NATO's eastern border with Belarus and Russia. Politico reported: “Several dozen German soldiers will join Poland's East Shield from April 2026, with the mission initially running until the end of 2027, Deutsche Welle reported, citing Berlin's defense ministry. German troops will focus on engineering work, according to a ministry spokesperson quoted in the report. The spokesperson described this as building positions, digging trenches, laying barbed wire and constructing anti-tank obstacles.  .” Source: thegatewaypundit.com Zelenskyy offers to drop NATO bid for security guarantees but rejects US push to cede territory   Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Zelenskyy on Sunday (December 14, 2025) voiced readiness to drop his country’s bid to join NATO in exchange for Western security guarantees, but rejected the U.S. push for ceding territory to Russia as he arrived in Berlin for talks with U.S. envoys on ending the war. Source: thehindu.com CIA Outlet Concerned About Kash Patel and Dan Bongino Meeting with Top Zelenskyy Officials It  been  reported that the FBI has been working closely with the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) in detecting and discovering corruption amid Ukraine officials who have skimmed money from various international aid programs.  However, the Washington Post is suddenly concerned that FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino have held “secret meetings” with lead Ukraine peace negotiator Rustem Umerov.   it is easy to get the sense that Rustem Umerov is in alignment with the U.S. proposals, but Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not.  Hence, Zelenskyy keeps returning to his U.K, France, Germany and EU support network for counterproposals despite his officials like Umerov working with the U.S. team directly. This paragraph from within the WaPo (CIA) framework seems to tell a background story: […] “The meetings have caused alarm among Western officials who remain in the dark about their intent and purpose. Some said they believe Umerov and other Ukrainian officials sought out Patel and Bongino in the hopes of obtaining amnesty from any corruption allegations the Ukrainians could face. Others worry the newly established channel could be used to exert pressure on Zelensky's government to accept a peace deal, proposed by the Trump administration, containing steep concessions for Kyiv.” (more) Perhaps Zelenskyy's primary negotiator for the USA team, Rustem Umerov, has specific knowledge of corruption connected to the generous financial support the USA has provided Ukraine.  Watching Yermak get taken down within the FBI/NABU investigation, might have triggered Umerov to cooperate on several levels. Umerov reported as happy with the negotiated U.S. terms. Volodymyr Zelenskyy openly not happy with the negotiated terms. This is worth watching.
