Van toe af was hy op die uitkyk vir 'n geskikte geleentheid om Jesus aan hulle uit te lewer. Jesus was en bly nogal 'n persoon wat jy nie in ‘n gewone ordentlike boksie kan plaas nie. Hy het nie volgens die streng Joodse reëls en gebruike opgetree nie. Hy het die lang gevestigde tradisies van Judaïsme verwerp. Hy het verhoudings gehad met die onderdruktes, die verworpenes, die vuil sosiale skuim van die aarde, waarmee respektabele mense niks te doen sou wou hê nie. En boonop het Hy beweer dat Hy ... God is, wat uiteindelik daartoe gelei het dat Hy gekruisig is.Deesdae kan ons terugkyk na alles wat Hy gesê en gedoen het deur middel van merkwaardig akkurate en goed bewaarde historiese rekords – die Evangelies van Matteus, Markus, Lukas en Johannes – om te sien hoe wonderlik Hy was toe Hy die stowwerige paaie van die eerste eeuse Israel bewandel het.En so het miljarde mense deur die eeue gekies om Hom te volg, om "Christene" genoem te word; om te glo dat Hy is wie Hy gesê het Hy is, die Seun van God; en ons weet dat talle van hulle vir sy Naam gely het.Mense sê: "Ek wil soos Jesus wees." Goed, maar onthou, Jesus het 'n Judas gehad, Jesus het 'n Getsemane gehad, Jesus het 'n kruisiging gehad. Jesus is gespot, verwerp en gekruisig.Matteus 26:14-16 Toe het Judas Iskariot, een van die twaalf dissipels, na die priesterhoofde toe gegaan en gevra: “Wat is julle bereid om my te betaal as ek Jesus aan julle besorg?” Hulle het hom toe 30 silwer geldstukke aangebied.

Last time we spoke about the Battle for South Sakhalin and the Kurile Islands. In August 1945, as Japan teetered on the edge of destruction following the atomic bombings, a desperate situation unfolded. The Soviet Union launched a sudden invasion of Manchuria, catching Japanese forces off guard. On August 14, Japan's decision to surrender was made, announced to the world the following day. However, the Kwantung Army resisted fiercely, engaging in frantic evacuations. In South Sakhalin, Japanese defenders clashed with advancing Soviet troops, facing overwhelming odds. By August 18, chaos reigned on the Japanese side, with forces surrendering and civilians in panic. As the Soviets pushed forward, the situation became increasingly dire for Japan. Despite valiant resistance, the imminent defeat became clear. In a moment of critical decision, Emperor Hirohito accepted the surrender terms, officially sealing Japan's fate and marking the end of the Pacific War. However the Soviets had not yet stopped their onslaught.  This episode is the Soviet Victory in Asia Welcome to the Pacific War Podcast Week by Week, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel you can find a few videos all the way from the Opium Wars of the 1800's until the end of the Pacific War in 1945.  We are drawing near to the real conclusion of this series! Japan has officially surrendered, however the Soviets are not done just yet. East asia is a delicious piece of cake, laid wide open and Stalin intends to take every piece he can grab before the curtain falls. Now as we last left off it was August 18, and General Yamada's Kwantung Army had surrendered to the Soviet forces led by Marshal Vasilevsky, who were advancing rapidly through Manchuria. Yet, some Japanese units, like those at Kalgan, continued to resist occupation until the month's end. On August 19, following Yamada's announcement that all military operations had ceased, a Soviet delegation arrived at Hsinking.  A daring operation took place, where a 225-strong detachment from the 6th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade, part of the 5th Guards Tank Corps, was airlifted to the city's main airfield. This mission, along with others, was carried out under orders from Marshal Vasilevsky on August 18, following the commander's initial offer of surrender from the Kwantung Army. Vasilevsky's directive was urgent: “The Japanese resistance is broken, and the challenging road conditions hinder the swift advance of our main forces. We need to deploy specially formed, fast-moving, and well-equipped units to capture Changchun, Mukden, Jilin, and Harbin immediately. These units should remain flexible for future missions, regardless of their distance from the main forces.”The push to accelerate operations came directly from Stalin himself. In Kulichkin's biography of Marshal Vasilevsky, he recounts a pivotal phone call on August 15. Stalin was informed that the Japanese had “lost command and control” and were unable to mount a strong defense, with their forces divided into several fragmented groups. Vasilevsky confidently stated, “Even a miracle cannot save the Japanese from total defeat,” stressing the need to maintain the momentum of the offensive. Stalin's response was straightforward: “Good. We need to increase the pace. What proposals do you have?” Vasilevsky revealed plans to use airborne assault forces against larger cities like Harbin, Changchun, Jilin, and Mukden, alongside advanced mobile units across all combined arms armies. These units, consisting of tanks and assault guns, were fully equipped with desantniki, ready to engage firmly in the ongoing operations. The landing at Shenyang revealed a remarkable twist of fate. Waiting at the airfield for evacuation to Japan was none other than the recently abdicated Emperor Puyi of Manchukuo. On August 15, 1945, Puyi tuned in to the radio and listened to Emperor Hirohito's address announcing Japan's surrender. In this historic speech, the Showa Emperor referred to the Americans' use of a "most unusual and cruel bomb," which had just devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki. For Puyi, this was the first revelation of the atomic bombings, information that the Japanese had conveniently withheld from him until that moment. The aircraft carrying Major Chelyshev's force, escorted by fighter planes, landed at 1:15 PM without any opposition and captured him. This small unit's survival hinged on remaining unchallenged, and they successfully secured the airfield. They also freed several Allied personnel held at the nearby Hoten prisoner-of-war camp. As soon as the landing was secured, additional reinforcements were airlifted in later that day, led by General Kravchenko, the commander of the 6th Guards Tank Army. He formally accepted the city's surrender, and the Soviets then transported Puyi to the Siberian town of Chita.  Meanwhile, Vasilevsky's ground offensive pressed on, mostly unopposed, though some resistance persisted. In the Transbaikal Front, Marshal Malinovsky's General Pliyev led his cavalry-mechanized units against the Japanese forces at Kalgan. Other units reached Jehol and accepted the surrender of the 108th Division. General Danilov's 17th Army secured the Shanhaiguan coast, while General Managarov's 53rd Army pushed towards Kailu. The main force of General Kravchenko's 6th Guards Tank Army regrouped at Tungliao and Kaitung, preparing to advance south toward Mukden. General Lyudnikov's 39th Army steadily approached Changchun, confronting the bypassed 107th Division, and General Luchinsky's 36th Army occupied Tsitsihar, accepting the surrender of the 136th Independent Mixed Brigade. At the same time, on General Purkayev's 2nd Far Eastern Front, General Teryokhin's 2nd Red Banner Army continued its siege of the Aihun fortified region. Meanwhile, a forward detachment moved slowly south through the Lesser Khinghan Mountains. General Mamonov's 15th Army began capturing and processing prisoners from the many retreating Japanese units after a successful amphibious assault secured Sansing. The Amur Flotilla supported the army's push towards Harbin, while General Pashkov's 5th Rifle Corps finally reached Poli, which had already been occupied by other Soviet units. In Marshal Meretskov's 1st Far Eastern Front, forward detachments of General Zakhvatayev's 35th Army began arriving at Linkou, focusing on the surrender of Japanese units in the area. Rear elements effectively eliminated the last traces of enemy resistance in the Hutou fortified area.  After a challenging struggle through the wetlands and the capture of Mishan on August 12, advanced detachments of the 35th Army's main force, the 66th and 363rd Rifle Divisions, continued their advance against minimal opposition. The situation was starkly different to their rear, where the 1056th Rifle Regiment of the 264th Rifle Division, supported by the heavily reinforced 109th Fortified Region, worked to dismantle the now-isolated Hutou fortified area. Despite the dire circumstances, the garrison refused to surrender. Thus, the focus shifted to systematically eliminating their defenses, which became a painstaking task. The attackers deployed an artillery destruction group, secured air supremacy, and utilized well-trained assault formations. Their techniques included pouring kerosene or gasoline into ventilation shafts of underground structures, sometimes in alarming quantities. For instance, two tonnes of gasoline were recorded being poured into a single installation before ignition was applied. Despite the brutal and methodical obliteration of their positions, the defenders continued to ignore orders to surrender. Notably, on August 18, a Japanese prisoner was sent under a flag of truce to inform those still holding out that the war was officially over; tragically, he was hacked to death by a sword-wielding officer. Ultimately, this stubbornness led to catastrophic consequences: about 3,000 defenders were killed, blasted and burned, before a small number finally capitulated. Additionally, advanced detachments of General Beloborodov's 1st Red Banner Army reached Shangzhi before continuing towards Harbin, and forward elements of General Krylov's 5th Army pushed on toward Jilin. General Chistyakov's 25th Army commenced disarming General Murakami's 3rd Army, while the 10th Mechanized Corps advanced rapidly westward, crossing the Laoilin Mountain passes to arrive at Tunhua by nightfall. Over in North Korea, the 335th Rifle Division successfully landed in Chongjin, as General Kabanov's Southern Defense Region prepared for an assault on Gensan. In South Sakhalin, despite the surrender of the 125th Regiment and ongoing negotiations with General Mineki's 88th Division, Soviet forces opted to proceed with the planned landing at Maoka. Consequently, Admiral Andreyev's Northern Pacific Flotilla departed from Sovetskaya Gavan in the morning, carrying the bulk of the 113th Rifle Brigade along with a battalion of marines for the long and challenging voyage to Maoka. On Shumshu Island, as General Gnechko's forces were landing their artillery to renew their assault, Japanese officers unexpectedly approached the Soviets under flags of truce, carrying a letter from General Tsutsumi proposing negotiations for surrender. Representatives from both sides began discussions, and by 6 PM, the 91st Division formally surrendered the garrisons of Shumshu, Paramushir, and Onekotan. On August 20, Gnechko dispatched a small detachment on six vessels to seize control of the airfield at Kataoka. However, as they crossed the Second Kuril Strait, batteries on both sides of the narrow waterway opened heavy fire on the Soviet ships, forcing them to withdraw. This breach of the surrender agreement sparked a renewed offensive at 1 PM, coordinated with air strikes. The bases at Kataoka and Kashiwabar were bombed by 61 aircraft, which dropped over 200 bombs, enabling ground troops to push forward up to six kilometers. It was not until General Tsutsumi intervened that the Soviets were assured the Japanese would indeed lay down their arms. Meanwhile, Andreyev's convoy arrived at Maoka harbor on the morning of August 20, successfully landing the first wave of marines amid heavy fog. They quickly spread out and secured the area while the second and third waves of infantry followed behind. By noon, the port area was secured, and the marines began advancing eastward into the city, supported by infantry on their flanks. Taken by surprise, the Japanese defenders were ultimately compelled to retreat, with the 113th Rifle Brigade pursuing them through the mountains to the villages of Futamata and Osaka. In Manchuria, between August 20 and 21, Vasilevsky's units continued their advance to occupy the region's main centers. Stalin urged for greater speed, fearing that any delay might prompt President Truman to order General MacArthur's air-naval assault forces to land there. Notably, Pliyev's first column successfully captured Kalgan, while his second column moved south toward Beijing, securing Gubeikou at the border. Located in one of the passes through the Great Wall, marking the border between Manchukuo and China, the town was garrisoned by Japanese units. These forces surrendered upon the approach of the Soviet troops, who then quickly advanced toward Beijing, about 100 kilometers away. Although not the former capital itself, this area was under the control of Chinese Communist forces known as the 8th Route Army, who aligned with the Soviets. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek was acutely aware that any Japanese capitulation to the Communists in northern China would allow the latter to occupy vital territories, making their removal difficult. Consequently, he commanded the 8th Route Army not to accept any Japanese surrenders, insisting they only surrender to Nationalist forces, with dire punishments threatened for defiance. Adding to the complexity, the Soviet Union and China had signed the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance, discussed at Yalta, just six days earlier on August 14. This treaty promised mutual respect for sovereignty and non-interference in each other's internal affairs. The Soviets had also committed to providing “moral support and aid in military supplies and other material resources” exclusively to the National Government as the legitimate central authority of China. Thus, a significant political and military predicament loomed. However, the Soviets quickly extricated themselves from this situation when Malinovsky issued an order forbidding Pliyev's forces from crossing the border. As Pliyev recounted, his formations were poised just halfway between Chengde and Beijing, needing “only one 'leap' to the Chinese capital.” He noted, “I had to suspend the offensive and move north beyond the Great Wall.” Units from the 6th Guards Tank Army occupied both Changchun and Mukden, initiating a rail movement towards Port Arthur and Dairen. For those curious, at Pingfan and Changchun, General Shiro Ishii and the remaining personnel from Units 731 and 100 were captured by Soviet forces. In a tragic turn of events, all test subjects were murdered and cremated, while the Japanese attempted to destroy evidence of their facilities but were unable to do so in time. Following their capture, the Soviets launched an extensive campaign to uncover the secrets behind Units 731 and 100, leading to the Khabarovsk Trial. If you want to learn more about what I would call “japans operation paperclip”, the secret dealings between Unit 731 and the Allies after the war, I did make an episode about it over on my patreon. Its pretty gruesome stuff so big disclaimer there.' The Soviets arrived to Dairen on 24 August, although these places had surrendered to air-landed forces two days earlier. This was, no doubt, much to the relief of Stalin, as these were amongst the main locations where he most feared American intervention. Indeed, on the day of the landing he had told Vasilevsky to ‘keep in mind' the fact that any delay could mean ‘Truman will order General MacArthur to land his naval assault forces'. The long-resisting 135th Independent Mixed Brigade finally surrendered at Aihun, while advanced units of the 2nd Red Banner Army secured Nencheng and Peian before pushing towards Tsitsihar and Harbin. Forward detachments from the 15th and 1st Red Banner Armies also reached the already-occupied Harbin. Furthermore, advanced units of the 5th and 25th Armies arrived in Jilin to reinforce the air-landed detachment there. Additionally, units from the 88th Rifle Corps and the 10th Mechanized Corps began their southward movement into Korea, heading toward the 38th Parallel. In North Korea, Kabanov dispatched a marine battalion and other units, totaling around 2,000 men, to occupy the fortified port of Gensan on August 20. The following morning, the landing force arrived and disembarked without opposition. However, the Japanese garrison refused to surrender until orders from higher command were received. Meanwhile, Japanese troops began to peacefully surround the harbor area, while Soviet sailors and marines, in a similarly calm manner, took up their defensive positions. As Kabanov noted, “An incomprehensible situation arose, neither peace nor war. The enemy has numerical superiority, but he neither fights nor wants to capitulate.” Unsurprisingly, he added, “the night passed in suspense.” The surreal situation was resolved when Rear Admiral Hori Yugoro and Colonel Tado boarded the frigate EK-3 to meet with Captain Studenichnikov on the morning of August 22. During their discussions, they attempted to negotiate terms, but the Soviet captain issued a bold threat of an immediate large-scale air strike and the initiation of hostilities at the port unless they surrendered unconditionally. While the latter was likely an empty threat, the Japanese officers signed the surrender agreement nonetheless. The process of surrendering the garrison began that evening and continued until August 26. In total, the Soviets captured more than 7,000 officers and men, along with all their military equipment. Looking toward the northern Kuriles, Japanese forces on Shumshu finally began to lay down their weapons on the afternoon of August 22, as Gnechko's units spread out to secure the island. In Manchuria, airborne detachments were also landed at Dairen and Port Arthur to secure these key administrative centers before the Americans could take control. Vanguard units of the 6th Guards Tank Army arrived to reinforce them two days later. Meanwhile, in South Sakhalin, heavy fighting persisted at Futamata despite Mineki's ceasefire agreement on August 22. Soviet air strikes supported the ground forces when weather conditions allowed, and the Japanese finally surrendered by the nightfall of August 23. At the same time, Andreyev dispatched three marine battalions on a small convoy to capture Otomari. However, a fierce storm forced the flotilla to seek refuge in the port of Honto on the morning of August 24. Once the storm subsided that evening, the force left a company of marines to garrison the port and resumed their voyage to Otomari, arriving there on the morning of August 25, just as elements of the 113th Rifle Brigade reached the eastern outskirts of the city. By noon, the 88th Division surrendered, and the city was secured. Shortly after, the 214th Tank Brigade arrived at Toyohara to secure South Sakhalin's administrative center. Thus, the South Sakhalin operation concluded with nearly 18,320 Japanese soldiers taken prisoner. Yet, this wouldn't mark the end of operations for General Cheremisov's 16th Army. Stalin pushed for the 87th and 135th Rifle Brigades, along with three marine battalions, to assemble at Otomari and execute amphibious landings on the southern Kurile Islands, specifically, Etorofu, Shikotan, and Kunashiri, and the islets of the Habomai group. The failure to include the Kuril Islands in the areas designated for surrender to Soviet forces in Truman's General Order No. 1, originally issued on August 15, exacerbated Stalin's inherent suspicions regarding American intentions. Consequently, Vasilevsky was instructed to organize landings on the Kurils, ensuring that, similar to Port Arthur, Soviet occupation would manifest physically through boots on the ground. Despite Truman's subsequent correction of the omission, mistrust endured, as did the directive to occupy the islands. However, where Stalin hesitated was concerning Hokkaido. Truman's somewhat abrupt rejection of Stalin's demand for a portion of Hokkaido undoubtedly irritated the Soviet dictator, yet he chose not to take further action. Scholarly debates have arisen around the rationale behind Stalin's ‘retreat.' When viewed within the framework of his stated geostrategic goal of securing the Soviet Union's sea lines of communication in the Pacific, it becomes understandable. Churchill once likened the Soviet Union's challenges in this regard to those of a “giant with his nostrils pinched.” A look at the map reveals that control of the Kurils would significantly alleviate this pressure in the Far East, making their acquisition crucial. Similarly, occupying southern Sakhalin would allow the Soviet Union to control the northern side of the La Pérouse Strait, which connects the Sea of Japan to the Sea of Okhotsk. The strait's opposite shore is formed by the northern coast of Hokkaido, and possessing this area would undeniably enhance the security of communications and is therefore highly desirable. However, any unilateral action in this regard would incur a significant and public breach with the Americans, the consequences of which could not be easily predicted. Given that Stalin's claim to the Kurils was firmly based on the agreement reached at Yalta, an agreement which Truman honored, his choice to avoid completely rupturing relations with the U.S. was motivated by strategic self-interest. Consequently, Andreyev's flotilla, carrying these units, departed Otomari on August 27, reaching the west coast of Etorofu at 3:15 AM on August 28. The landing, conducted using small boats, went unopposed and was met by the surrender of General Ogawa's 89th Division. The occupation of the other islands was also peaceful, with the Soviets securing Kunashiri by September 2, and Shikotan and the Habomai islets by September 5. The remaining northern Kurile Islands surrendered without incident as elements of Gnechko's Kamchatka forces arrived at Paramushir on August 24, Onekotan and Shiashkotan on August 25, Matsuwa by August 26, Shimushiru on August 27, and Uruppu by August 29. In total, 63,840 prisoners were taken throughout the Kuriles. On August 24, air-landed detachments arrived at the cities of Pyongyang and Kange to secure the last administrative centers in North Korea. Two days later, units of the 25th Army reached Gensan. With this move, albeit with some geographical liberties, Chistyakov asserted that "the troops of the 25th Army, on the orders of Marshal Meretskov, reached the 38th Parallel.” In the days that followed, units of General Kushibuchi's 34th Army gradually began to surrender and disarm. Finally, in Manchuria, most of Yamada's units had surrendered and were being disarmed. However, one unit continued to resist until the end of the month. The bypassed and encircled 107th Division was engaged in fierce fighting for survival against the 94th Rifle Corps. Due to a lack of communication with Kwantung Army Headquarters, they did not receive any ceasefire orders. As a result, a staff officer from General Iida's 30th Army was dispatched by plane to locate the division and deliver the ceasefire orders. The 107th Division was found near Chalai, and the plane made a forced landing between the Japanese troops and the opposing Soviet forces. The staff officer successfully delivered the orders terminating hostilities in that sector on August 30, which the Japanese troops promptly complied with. By September 1, units of the 53rd Army occupied Kailu, Chaoyang, Fuhsin, and Gushanbeitseifu, while forward detachments secured the Chinchou area on the Liaotung Peninsula. This marked the conclusion of the Manchurian campaign, with the Soviets claiming to have captured between 594,000 and 609,000 prisoners of war across Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, and North Korea. The captured Japanese military personnel were subjected to forced labor in Siberian internment camps, as well as camps in Sakhalin, Manchuria, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Mongolia. A significant number were assigned to the construction of the Baikal-Amur Mainline. Unfortunately, the treatment of prisoners of war was deemed inhumane and mishandled. Many suffered from malnutrition, overwork, cave-ins, floods, unsanitary working conditions leading to epidemics, harsh winter weather, violent guards, and brutal suppression of even mild resistance. Disturbingly, some Japanese prisoners were even lynched by their fellow captives. Estimates suggest that between 60,000 and 347,000 Japanese died in captivity. Although 18,616 prisoners were released in 1946, the process of repatriating prisoners of war extended into the 1950s. Those who remained after 1950 were detained for various convictions. However, their release began in 1953 under different amnesties. Following Josef Stalin's death and the subsequent Khrushchev Thaw, the Soviet attitude toward the remaining Japanese prisoners shifted significantly. Accompanied by Soviet officials, they were taken on tours of cities and allowed to purchase gifts for their families. Before repatriation, a banquet in Khabarovsk, hosted by Nikolai Gagen, included high-ranking prisoners such as Jun Ushiroku as attendees. The last major group of 1,025 Japanese POWs was released on December 23, 1956. After that, some Japanese POWs were released in small groups, with some only returning in the 1990s following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Interestingly, some prisoners who had been held for decades, many of whom had married and started families during their captivity, chose not to return permanently to Japan. The Soviets committed numerous war crimes during their invasion and occupation of Manchuria and other Japanese territories. During the invasion, Soviet soldiers killed and raped Japanese civilians and looted civilian property. Following the Soviet invasion of Manchuria on August 9, 1945, a large number of Japanese citizens residing in the region sought to repatriate to Japan. The Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers supervised this mass movement and, in October 1945, delegated responsibility to Japan's Ministry of Health and Welfare. The Kwantung Army, which was meant to protect the Japanese settlers in Manchuria, quickly retreated and abandoned them. With most able-bodied men drafted into the army, the majority of those left behind were women, children, and the elderly, rendering them highly vulnerable to attacks from Soviet soldiers and local Chinese seeking revenge.In Soviet-occupied Manchuria and North Korea, the repatriation of Japanese civilians was characterized by violent expulsions, accompanied by widespread looting, mass killings, and rampant sexual violence perpetrated by both Soviet soldiers and local populations seeking retribution. Many Japanese civilians succumbed to starvation, disease, mass killings, and mass suicides. Approximately 223,000 Japanese civilians residing in the Soviet-occupied zones died, most within a year and a half after August 9, 1945. Regarding the extensive rape of Japanese women and girls by Soviet soldiers, a former Japanese soldier, Wakatsuki Yoshio, detailed these grim experiences in his memoir, The Records of Postwar Repatriation “What word can possibly describe the violence committed by the Soviet soldiers on Japanese women? I can only think of the word “hideous”. The victim could be a girl of twelve or thirteen years old or an old lady of almost seventy years old. These soldiers did not choose the sites where they raped them, in public, in broad daylight, even on snow-covered roads”. The Soviet invasion of Manchuria in 1945 left many Japanese women stranded after their male family members were either conscripted or killed. These women, including young girls, endured severe hardships, facing gang rapes by Soviet soldiers and local Chinese militia groups. In a desperate effort to survive, many were forced to marry Chinese men, either out of necessity or in exchange for assistance in repatriating their remaining family members. Disturbingly, some victims were as young as thirteen. Some women were held in groups and subjected to repeated sexual violence over extended periods. In certain instances, to ensure the safety of the group, members of the Japanese community offered women to their perpetrators. There were also reports of women voluntarily submitting themselves to protect their families, younger peers, or others in their communities. After Japan's defeat in 1945, leaders of the Kurokawa Settler Group in Manchuria offered approximately 15 young women, aged 17 to 21, to Soviet soldiers in exchange for protection. This tragic practice continued from September to November 1945, with some of the women later being offered to Chinese soldiers as well. With no protection from Japanese soldiers, Japanese women often had to devise unique strategies to avoid rape. Memoirs from female repatriates detail various escape tactics. Some women hid in attics every night, narrowly avoiding capture or even gunfire. Others managed to trap intruders in rooms before fleeing or bribed Soviet soldiers with valuables, such as wristwatches, to secure their escape. Notably, some women, particularly former geisha and bar workers, voluntarily went with Soviet soldiers to protect others. These women were referred to as tokkōtai (kamikaze) for their self-sacrifice. Additionally, it wasn't just Japanese women who suffered; Korean and Chinese women were also victims of sexual violence at the hands of various perpetrators in Manchuria. British and American reports indicate that Soviet Red Army troops looted and terrorized the local population in Shenyang, a city in Manchuria. A foreign witness described how Soviet troops, formerly stationed in Berlin, were permitted by the Soviet military to enter Shenyang for "three days of rape and pillage." In Harbin, Soviet forces ignored protests from leaders of the Chinese Communist Party regarding the widespread mass rape and looting committed by their troops. In the immediate aftermath of the war in 1945, in areas of Manchuria occupied by the National Revolutionary Army, 176 Koreans were killed, 1,866 were injured, 3,468 were detained, and 320 were raped by armed Chinese mobs. The attacks against Korean residents in Manchuria were believed to stem from a perception of Korean collaboration with Japanese colonial rule. One of the most infamous instances was the Gegenmiao massacre. On August 10 and 11, Xing'an was bombed, nearly destroying its urban functions. It is estimated that 3,000 of the 4,000 civilians. Anticipating the Soviet invasion, Xing'an had prepared an evacuation plan divided into three groups based on residential area and workplace. The Kwantung Army, however, failed to inform the General Office officials about their retreat. As a result, residents in the eastern area, many of whom were self-employed or office workers, had difficulty obtaining information and securing transportation, while those in the western area had military personnel who were first to learn of the situation. Some of the civilians with a handful of armed men had proceeded on foot towards Gegenmiao Township, about 35 kilometers southeast of Xing'an Street, to wait for a train at Gegenmiao Station and then evacuate to Baichengzi. They aimed to receive protection from the Kwantung Army in Baichengzi. Around 11:40 AM on August 14 in the vicinity of Gegenmyo Hill, where a Lamaist temple was located, they encountered an infantry unit consisting of 14 Soviet medium tanks and 20 trucks. The column reportedly stretched for two kilometers, with about a hundred survivors among them. Soviet troops launched an attack from the hilltop, deploying tanks with machine-gun fire. The tanks attacked multiple times, and when they ceased, Soviet soldiers disembarked and ruthlessly shot and bayoneted survivors. Many who escaped death from gunfire were still severely injured or witnessed family members being killed. Some were left holding their loved ones or chose to commit suicide. It is estimated that only about a hundred survivors were later confirmed, including nearly 200 schoolchildren from the Xing'an Street Zaiman National School. Kwantung Army units, which were supposed to escort the civilians and counterattack, had already retreated southward. Even after the Soviet soldiers left, sporadic gunfire continued, presumably due to suicides. Local residents began to plunder the bodies, stripping them of clothes and valuables. Others drowned in the river while attempting to escape. Reports tell of one woman who had her child killed by Soviet soldiers, only to later face an attack from Chinese militia, who stripped her of her clothes and mutilated her. Surviving mothers and children were also attacked, and those separated were often taken by the Chinese. At the time, it was common for Japanese boys to be sold for 300 yen and girls for 500 yen. Some survivors gathered together and began committing mass suicide, killing those who wished to end their lives. Others expressed intentions to form a death squad with rifles for revenge but ultimately did not resist.   After the war ended on August 15, attacks on displaced persons continued. A 12-year-old girl who joined a group of about ten women after the incident reported that they were attacked and robbed, taking over a week to reach Zhenxi Station, 10 kilometers from Gegenmiao Station. The women sought shelter in an abandoned house near the station but were discovered by Soviet soldiers that night who assaulted them until midnight. Afterward, the soldiers piled dry grass into the house, setting it ablaze in an attempt to burn the women alive. The girl and her sister managed to escape through a window, but many others could not flee in time due to the fire's rapid spread. The girl was forced to live as a residual orphan afterward. Fortunately, some Chinese, Mongolians, and Koreans provided food for the survivors, with some Chinese showing kindness towards the children. Those orphaned children, whose parents had been killed, became known as residual orphans, with about 30 in this unfortunate situation. Many women were forced to become residual women as well. Tragically, around 200 students from a local school, including the headmaster and his wife, were killed during this chaos. Some historians believe the attack stemmed from Soviet soldiers mistaking the refugees for armed Japanese troops because men within the group were carrying firearms for protection. In general, displaced persons at this time often carried small weapons like rifles, and some groups were even armed with light machine guns. In the pioneer groups, women sometimes participated in fighting against bandits, and in the Sado pioneer group incident, children above the fifth grade were forced into combat, regardless of gender. There may also have been prior skirmishes with other Japanese civilian groups before the war's end, further complicating the situation as the Soviet Army, which included female soldiers, may have regarded these mixed civilian and armed groups as a threat. According to Soviet military combat records, on August 14, the Soviet 17th Guards Rifle Division, 19th Guards Rifle Division, 91st Guards Rifle Division, and 61st Tank Division were stationed northwest of Gezhne Temple, but there was no combat activity in the area. On August 15, this unit advanced toward Bai Chengzi and occupied Bai Chengzi Station, which was then taken over by tanks from the 61st Tank Division. Despite extensive documentation, nothing about this incident was revealed until 2014 during the process of perestroika. Reports from British and American sources indicate that the 700,000 Soviet troops occupying Manchuria also terrorized and looted the local population in Mukden. They were not deterred by Soviet authorities and engaged in what was described as "three days of rape and pillage," with similar atrocities occurring in Harbin and across the country. Amid the mass repatriation of Japanese civilians living in the region, Japanese women in Manchuria faced repeated sexual violence at the hands of Russian soldiers every day. In North Korea, it was similarly reported that Soviet soldiers raped both Japanese and Korean women. Additionally, Soviet soldiers looted the property of Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans residing in Manchuria and North Korea.

Amid chaotic surrenders, Emperor Hirohito accepted defeat, but Soviet advances continued relentlessly. As they pushed deeper, the Soviets captured key cities, including Harbin, while Japan's soldiers and civilians struggled for survival against the onslaught. War crimes committed by Soviet troops added to the tragedy, with rampant violence against Japanese civilians. Amidst political tensions, the Soviets secured territory, culminating in the surrender of remaining Japanese forces. The grim conclusion of this campaign marked a profound shift in the power dynamics of East Asia and paved the way for post-war ramifications.

Send us a textEksodus 3:13-14 Daarna sê Moses vir God: “Sê nou maar ek kom by die Israeliete en ek sê vir hulle: ‘Die God van julle voorvaders het my na julle toe gestuur,' en hulle vra vir my: ‘Wat is sy Naam?' wat moet ek dan vir hulle sê?” Toe sê God vir Moses: “Ek is wat Ek is. Jy moet vir die Israeliete sê: ‘Ek is' het my na julle toe gestuur.” Wanneer jy te kampe het met iets wat vir jou soos 'n onoorbare struikelblok lyk, het jy regtig die hulp van iemand wat jy kan vertrou, nodig. Maar in hierdie wêreld waar al hoe minder mense omgee oor wat in jou lewe aangaan en die swaarkry wat jy deurmaak; is sulke mense bra skaars.Moses het destyds so 'n probleem gehad; 'n heeltemal onoorkombare probleem. Israel was in slawerny in Egipte onder die wrede heerskappy van die Farao waar hulle gevange gehou is. God het buite in die wildernis, aan Moses in 'n brandende bos verskyn.  Moses het woestyn tot gevlug, nadat hy ‘n Egiptenaar tydens sy jonger dae doodgeslaan het. Hy het gedink dit was ongesiens, maar van sy eie mense, die Israeliete, het dit gesien en hom nie vertrou nie.Kan jy glo, Moses is op hierdie stadium al 80 jaar oud – nie juis in die fleur van sy lewe nie! Tog roep God hom om na die moeilike Israeliete te gaan en hulle te oortuig dat Hy hulle uit Egipte na die Beloofde Land gaan neem.  Maar toe – toe was daar nog ‘n klein ou probleempie: hy moes na die magtige Farao gaan, om hom te oortuig om God se volk te laat trek.Praat van onoorkombare probleme!Eksodus 3:13-14 Daarna sê Moses vir God: “Sê nou maar ek kom by die Israeliete en ek sê vir hulle: ‘Die God van julle voorvaders het my na julle toe gestuur,' en hulle vra vir my: ‘Wat is sy Naam?' wat moet ek dan vir hulle sê?” Toe sê God vir Moses: “Ek is wat Ek is. Jy moet vir die Israeliete sê: ‘Ek is' het my na julle toe gestuur.”Moses se vraag aan God, was sekerlik ‘n regverdige en logiese vraag. Maar kyk hoe God daarop reageer met … die vreemdste antwoord.God sê sy naam is “Ek Is”, nie “Ek Was” of “Ek Mag Wees” of “Ek Mag Daarby Uitkom” nie. Dit is, “Ek Is”! Hy is in beheer. Hy was nog altyd. Hy sal altyd wees … dit maak nie saak hoe onoorbaar die probleem uit ons perspektief mag lyk nie.Dis God se Woord.

Pääministeri vetosi poikkeuksellisesti sen puolesta, että työttömyysvakuutusmaksua ei nostettaisi paljoa. Korotus uhkaa syödä hallituksen veroalen. Mitä tilanteesta ajattelevat työmarkkinajärjestöjen johtajat, palkansaajien SAK:n puheenjohtaja Jarkko Eloranta ja työnantajien EK:n toimitusjohtaja Jyri Häkämies? Entä onko hallitus mennyt liian pitkälle, kun se on pannut työmarkkinoita uusiksi? Hallitus poisti työttömiltä 300 euron suojaosan, minkä vuoksi useampi päätyi tuoreen kyselyn perusteella kokonaan työttömäksi kuin kokoaikatyöhön. Leikkaukset työttömyysturvaan ja asumistukeen näyttävät myös aiheuttavan pienituloisuutta enemmän kuin aikaisemmin on arvioitu. Toimittajana on Antti Pilke. Suora lähetys.

Send us a textSpreuke 20:6  Baie mense sal voorgee dat hulle lojale vriende is, maar waar is daar iemand wat regtig betroubaar is? (NLV) Een van die grootste behoeftes wat ons elkeen het, is om liefgehê te word. En 'n belangrike voorwaarde daarvoor is ‘n wedersydse vertroue. As jy dit mooi deurdink, kan jy sien dat liefde sonder vertroue onmoontlik is. Maar ek dink nie daar is een van ons wat nie al beleef het dat hy deur iemand, wat hy vertrou het, verraai is nie.Brutus was een van Julius Caesar se mees vertroude vriende en bondgenote. Tog het hy by 'n groep senatore aangesluit wat Caesar se groeiende mag en ambisie gevrees het. In 44 v.C. het hulle hom vermoor. Daardie verraad het Rome so geskok dat dit uiteindelik gelei het tot die val van die Romeinse Republiek en die opkoms van die Romeinse Ryk.Nou wel, so iemand wat vir my of vir jou verraai, sal waarskynlik nie so 'n radikale uitwerking op wêreldgebeure hê nie, maar hulle sal beslis 'n enorme uitwerking op ons lewens hê. Daar is steeds 'n letsel op my hart van die grootste verraad van my lewe. Kan jy ook getuig van ‘n vriend se verraad?Spreuke 20:6 Jy mag dalk baie mense jou "vriende" noem, maar dis moeilik om iemand te vind wat werklik vertrou kan word.Op 'n afstand lyk suiker en sout dieselfde. Dis eers wanneer jy nader kom, en jy dit proe, dat jy die verskil ervaar. Wees versigtig en wees oordeelkundig wanneer jy jou vertroue in mense plaas. Ek sê nie dat ons niemand moet vertrou nie, maar soms is diegene wat lyk asof hulle ons vriende is, alles behalwe dit!Jy mag dalk aan iemand as jou vriend dink, maar onthou, dis moeilik om iemand te vind wat werklik vertrou kan word.Dis God se Woord.

Send us a textGenesis 4:9-12 Toe vra die Here vir Kain: “Waar is jou broer Abel?” en Kain antwoord: “Ek weet nie. Moet ek dan my broer oppas?” Maar die Here sê: “Wat het jy gedoen? Die bloed van jou broer roep van die aarde af na My. Vervloek is jy dan nou, verban van die grond af wat gretig die bloed van jou broer uit jou hand opgeslurp het. Wanneer jy die grond bewerk, sal dit nie sy opbrengs vir jou gee nie. Jy sal 'n doellose swerwer op aarde word!”Gee jy om as ek jou vandag vra, hoe jy voel wanneer jy sien hoe ander mense vooruitgaan; sukses behaal; wanneer hulle al die lof kry en al die aandag trek; terwyl jy, ten spyte van die feit dat jy jou bes doen, ongemerk wegkwyn en nooit êrens kom nie? Sê my, hoe laat dit jou voel?Adam en Eva se twee seuns, Kain en Abel het offers aan die Here gebring. Abel was die veeboer, en hy het die beste van sy lammers, die eerstelinge van die seisoen uit sy kudde en van hul vet as offer aan God gebring. Die Here het Abel se offer aanvaar. Kain, was die saaiboer en sy offer het bestaan uit opbrengs uit sy landerye. Die Here het nie Kain se offer aanvaar nie. Kain was briesend kwaad.God het met Kain gepraat en hom ‘n kans gegee. Hy het vir hom gewaarsku dat indien hy nie goed doen nie, sonde hom in sy mag sal kry, maar dat hy die mag het om oor die sonde te heers. Hoe het dit vir Kain laat voel? Wel, hy was so woedend, neerslagtig en so jaloers dat hy sy broer gaan vermoor het. Dis hoe dit hom laat voel het!Genesis 4:9-12 Toe vra die Here vir Kain: “Waar is jou broer Abel?” en Kain antwoord: “Ek weet nie. Moet ek dan my broer oppas?” Maar die Here sê: “Wat het jy gedoen? Die bloed van jou broer roep van die aarde af na My. Vervloek is jy dan nou, verban van die grond af wat gretig die bloed van jou broer uit jou hand opgeslurp het. Wanneer jy die grond bewerk, sal dit nie sy opbrengs vir jou gee nie. Jy sal 'n doellose swerwer op aarde word!”Kain is nie slegs deur God verwerp nie, God het die aarde teen hom gedraai. Hy het hom uit die land verdryf en hom na 'n onsekere, nomadiese bestaan ​​verdoem.Jaloesie het Kain uiteindelik nie net ‘n moordenaar gemaak nie,  maar hom ook van God vervreem. Om iemand af te breek, sal niemand anders ooit verhef nie.Dis God se Woord.

So, hoe gaan jy jou tyd wat jy oor het, deurbring?As jy daaroor nadink, is tyd die enigste bate wat jy spandeer sonder om te weet wat die balans is. Tog mors ons so baie daarvan op nuttelose dinge. Sommige mense spandeer elke week ure en ure op sosiale media.Ek het onlangs 'n paartjie ontmoet wat 'n 169-dag-om-die-wêreld-bootvaart bespreek het. Dit klink heerlik en daar is niks verkeerd met bootvaarte op sigself nie, maar hierdie mense is so vol lewe en hulle het soveel om te bied. Is dit regtig die beste gebruik van hulle tyd wat oorbly? Ek vra maar net. Dit is dalk slim om onsself af te vra: Wat wil ek met die tyd wat vir my oorbly, doen? Watter impak wil ek nog maak? Watter mense wil ek liefhê, help en koester? En hoe balanseer ek dit met die rus en ontspanning wat ons almal nodig het?Efesiërs 5:15-17 Wees baie versigtig hoe julle lewe: nie soos onverstandige mense nie, maar soos verstandiges.

In een nieuw Sportforum van Langs de Lijn en Omstreken bespreken we de het Eredivisie-weekend, het Europese voetbal en het EK hockey met Dennis van Eersel van regionale omroep Rijnmond, voetbaltrainer en -analist Robert Maaskant en NOS-sportverslaggever en hockeycommentator Jan Kees van der Kun.

Verbeel ek my of ervaar 'n al groter groep van my dominee-vriende deesdae 'n roeping van die Here Europa toe? Of na Kaapstad? En jy is reg, wie is ék om te oordeel. Ek self het al menigmaal gebid, Here stuur my asseblief na een of ander mooi plekkie in die berge of langs die see!     Toe Nico Smit agt jaar gelede die roepstem hoor, wie sal Brakpan toe gaan? Het hy geantwoord: Hier is ek Here stuur my.   “Ek woon in Brakpan. En kom ek sê sommer reguit: al daardie grappies wat mense maak, is nie waar nie . . . Kyk uit vir artikel en fotos in Kerkbode Borg 'n bed in een van ons Echo-huise

Ons almal soek daardie geheime resep vir sukses – die kortpad wat al ons probleme oplos. Maar die waarheid is: daar is nie een “magiese sleutel” vir elke slot nie. Die lewe is te kompleks. Tog belowe God: daar is 'n weg – 'n pad wat na lewe lei.Moses bid: “Here, maak my tog U weg bekend, dat ek U kan ken” (Eks. 33:13). En uiteindelik openbaar Jesus daardie weg volkome: “Ek is die Weg, die Waarheid en die Lewe” (Joh. 14:6). Hy is nie net die gids wat vir jou wys nie – Hy ís die pad self.Kom ontdek saam met ons hoe God Hom nie as 'n standbeeld wys om net te bewonder nie, maar as 'n lewenspad om op te loop. 'n Pad van liefde, waarheid, geregtigheid en oorvloedige lewe.Bring jou familie en vriende. Hierdie boodskap gaan jou wys hoe om ingestem te word op die frekwensie van die hemel – en lewe te ontvang wat jou en jou wêreld verander!

Die talle oorloë wat vandag woed. Jongmense wat afdwaal en verval in lewens van misdaad en dwelmafhanklikheid; of mense wat so ryk word dat hulle ‘n soort van gevoelloosheid of ongeërgdheid ontwikkel. Ja, my vriend, daar is vandag soveel mense wat hul lewens leef met ‘n oortuiging dat hulle lewe nie die moeite werd is om te leef nie.Ek klink vandag soos 'n regte pessimis, nè?

In deze aflevering staat België centraal. Met Wim Neven bespreken we de aanloop van de Belgen naar dit toernooi en welke obstakels kwamen zij onder meer tegen bij het organiseren van dit EK? En hoe werd de uitschakeling als organiserend land in de eerste ronde ontvangen?Deze podcastserie werd mede mogelijk gemaakt door Kick and Rush.

Get ready for a literary hungama unlike any other! PerryFlix is thrilled to announce the super launch of its groundbreaking "PerryFlix Short Stories" book series, pioneering didactic tales crafted in Hinglish! These stories are designed for both international learners struggling with initial Hindi, and native speakers seeking what sounds most practical in everyday conversation [Conversation History]. This venture, featuring acclaimed author Jimmy Mello's journey into India's linguistic landscape, marks the "birth of a language" [Conversation History], a natural yet forged evolution over years.So, what exactly is Hinglish? It's a dynamic and vibrant linguistic blend [Conversation History, 74]. In Britain, Hinglish refers to the use of specific South Asian words—especially Hindi, Urdu, or Punjabi—within a predominantly English sentence. Conversely, in India, it's often the reverse: English words woven into predominantly Hindi, Urdu, or Punjabi sentences. This unique fusion is already spoken by millions and encapsulates the heart and akal (common sense) of South Asian culture.Our new "PerryFlix Short Stories" series leverages this blend to offer an immersive and accessible experience. You'll find narratives that flow seamlessly between English and South Asian terms, giving you a genuine feel for contemporary communication. For example, in Anubhav Agarwal's Why Not Me? A feeling of millions (Hinglish Version), you see phrases like:"Zindagi! Ek sahi alfaaz hai apne bachpan ke dino ko bayaan karne ke liye" (Life! A correct word to describe the days of childhood)."Maine aadhi se zyada school life 'Boy's school' mein bita di thi, sirf 2 saal bache the" (I spent more than half my school life in a 'Boy's school,' only 2 years were left)."Mujhe pata tha milna na milna kismat hai, par ye ehsaas hona, ki wo aur main dono ek hi sheher mein hain, bilkul waisa ehsaas tha jaise wo aur main dono ek hi ghar mein hain" (I knew meeting or not meeting was fate, but feeling that she and I were in the same city was exactly like feeling that she and I were in the same house).This blending adds unique flavour and emotional depth to the narrative [Conversation History], allowing for a richer understanding of cultural nuances.Here are just a few examples of the rich vocabulary you'll encounter in "PerryFlix Short Stories," explained with their context, much like in "The Queen's Hinglish":Expressions of Emotion & Affection:Aish (pleasurable activity): "I just did aish at school."Izzat (honor, respect): "How can I insult her izzat when she had none in the first place?"Jaan (life/dear one): Often suffixed to Ammi or Abba (mother/father) to convey greater affection, e.g., "Abba-jaan, would you give me a lift?".Cultural & Social Concepts:Aadat (custom; habit): "I hope he doesn't make it his aadat."Badmash (hooligan/rascal): "That friend of yours is a good-for-nothing badmash."Bevakoof (fool): "Honestly, that boy is such a bevakoof."Chalaak (sly/crafty).Dosti (friendship): "Punjabi dosti could hold the key to better relations."Pukka (properly/perfectly done, genuine, or excellent): "That's a pukka road they've laid down."Everyday Life:Chai (tea): "All this chai is boiled with condensed milk."Chowk (marketplace).Colony (apartment complex).Mithai (South Asian sweet).Interjections & Responses:Arre! (calling attention).Bas! (enough).Haina? (isn't it?): Used to ascertain agreement.Haan (yes) / Nahi (no).Jaldi-jaldi! (go faster!).Namaste (salutation used for greeting and goodbye).Shabash! (well done!).Shukriya (thank you).Vaah vaah! (admiration).Yaar (friend).Join us on this exciting journey into the heart of language! PerryFlix Short Stories in Hinglish are your ticket to unlocking a deeper connection with South Asian culture and its unique way of expression. It's like discovering a secret language that millions already speak – ready to bring a new dhamaal (excitement) to your literary world!

'Groot Brittannië smeult. Je hoeft de gloeiende as maar een beetje op te porren en de hele boel vat vlam”: zo staat te lezen in het onderzoeksrapport naar de hevige rellen die vorig jaar in Engeland plaatsvonden. Rellen die vijf dagen duurden en in het hele land voor onrust zorgden. Volgens de onderzoekers is Groot Brittannië een jaar later nog steeds ‘een powder keg’, oftewel een vat buskruit. Over racisme gesproken: daar hebben de Engelse voetbalvrouwen afgelopen weken enorm veel last van gehad. Het Engelse team drong door tot de finale van het EK - en wonnen van Spanje. Maar de racistische uitlatingen aan het adres van de Engelse voetbalvrouwen hebben voor het team een flinke stempel gedrukt op het EK. Ook in deze aflevering ‘De Amerikanen hebben een nieuwe regio ontdekt in Engeland en daar kunnen ze geen genoeg van krijgen: De Cotswolds. Sinds de Amerikaanse t.v. personality Ellen Degeneres vanwege de herverkiezing vanTrump naar de regio in zuid-west Engeland emigreerde, volgden steeds meer landgenoten haar voorbeeld. Waar Degeneres vast geen rekening mee heeft gehouden is dat de Amerikaanse vice president JD Vance de Cotswolds heeft uitgekozen om met zijn gezin de zomer door te brengen. Degeneres zal daar vast niet heel blij mee zijn, maar wat vinden de locals van deze Amerikaanse invasie? Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee. Elke woensdag krijg je een nieuwe podcast over het leven van Van Bekhovens Britten in je podcastapp. Scherpe analyses, diepgang waar op de radio geen tijd voor is en een flinke portie humor. Abonneer en mis geen aflevering.
