In today's episode of Trending Middle East, Iran launches missile and drone attacks across Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait and Oman following waves of US strikes inside Iran. Gulf countries activate warnings and defences as Washington says its operation targeted Iranian military infrastructure to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. We also turn to Qatar, as the country prepares to receive regional and international leaders following the death of former emir Sheikh Hamad. Four days of national mourning have been declared as a mark of respect for the leader credited with transforming the country into a global diplomatic and economic power. Meanwhile, the EU is divided over whether to restrict trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, with officials debating legal options that could shape the bloc's policy in the months ahead. Elsewhere in the Middle East, the UAE and Egypt reaffirm their strategic partnership after talks between President Sheikh Mohamed and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi in El Alamein, focusing on regional security and humanitarian support for Gaza. And Dubai approves a Dh2 billion ($544.5 million) road project featuring new bridges, tunnels and cycling infrastructure to ease congestion and improve connectivity for hundreds of thousands of residents by 2028. Trending Middle East is AI-assisted, using original reporting published in The National and curated and edited by humans.

Agobiados1) Alabo: Hay muchas personas que en tu vida te pueden tener atrapado en tu pasado y tienes que estar dispuesto a soltar para avanzar hacia tu futuro. El pasado es algo más que lo que hemos hecho, que dónde hemos estado y hasta incluso quiénes somos. Cada día vas a tener que escoger, o vivir en el pasado (que es lo que conoces) o crear un futuro con el Señor. El gran peligro radica en el camino fácil, porque aferrarte a lo que conoces, aferrarte a lo que tienes y hacer del futuro una extensión del pasado te puede llevar a no alabar a Dios, sino a contrariarte en Dios. Es entregar todo lo que tenemos con la promesa de un futuro que no conocemos. He visto a mucha gente vivir en la gloria de sus éxitos pasados. Hay hasta curas que viven atrapados en el ‘86 o en el '98 y dicen: “¿Te acordás lo que era la parroquia?”, pero ya estamos en el 2026. Es momento de avanzar a un futuro nuevo, pero hay una diferencia entre prender fuego al pasado y quemar puentes. Nunca subestimes al pastor de ovejas de hoy, porque mañana puede ser tu rey (David). Para ello hay que tener cuidado, porque puede que estés hablando demasiado y no escuchando lo suficiente.2) Dado: Alguien dijo una vez: “Si persigues dos conejos, ambos se te van a escapar”. Uno no puede perseguir dos conejos por la vida, por eso la gente más sabia y exitosa que conocí son aquellos quienes aprendieron a decir “no” a casi todo. Los que se permiten el no, sin importarle el qué dirán y quitándose de encima el “no quiero ofender a nadie”, son quienes alcanzan la efectividad en su asignación. Sin embargo, los que dicen sí a todo (y me pongo como ejemplo, porque es un gran error mío) son aquellos que se meten en problemas, asisten a reuniones que no querían asistir, pierden tiempo en cosas que no son necesarias. Por eso la clave de ver a Dios es saber tener capacidad de poner límites al tiempo que dedicas a cada cosa, porque un “No” para algo es un “Sí” para alguien.3) Vengan: Cuando se descubrió petróleo en Dubai, allá por el 60, su Emir dijo: “Mi abuelo montaba en camello, mi padre montaba en camello, yo conduzco un Mercedes, mi hijo un Land Rover, su hijo conducirá un Land Rover, pero el hijo de mi hijo volverá a montar un camello”. Obvio que le preguntaron por qué, y aquí viene lo interesante: “Los tiempos difíciles crean hombres fuertes, los hombres fuertes crean tiempos fáciles, los tiempos fáciles crean hombres débiles, los hombres débiles crean tiempos difíciles”. Algo bueno está por venir.

Amerikaanse president Donald Trump het sy kritiek op Israeliese president Benjamin Netanyahu se optrede in Libanon hernu by die G7-beraad in Frankryk. Hy het tydens sy ontmoeting met die Emir van Katar aan joernaliste gesê "jy hoef nie 'n woonstelblok af te breek elke keer as jy iemand soek nie," en het vroeër gesê Netanyahu het geen oordeel nie en Sirië sal Hisbolla beter kan hanteer. Netanyahu is ook nie geken in die laaste vredesamesprekings met Iran nie. Netanyahu weier om Israeliese magte uit Libanon te onttrek, wat die voorlopige ooreenkoms in gevaar stel.

José Mayans cuestionó al presidente Javier Milei y al jefe de Gabinete por el respaldo a Manuel Adorni y aseguró que existe un incumplimiento de los deberes de funcionario público. “Es un evasor confeso. Como mínimo. Hay ahí incumplimiento a los deberes de funcionario público de los dos. Tanto de Milei como del jefe de Gabinete”, afirmó.El senador sostuvo que “esto es ley en la República Argentina” y agregó: “Hay un incumplimiento a los deberes de funcionario público, tanto del jefe de Gabinete como del presidente de la Nación”.Además se refirió a la posibilidad de impulsar una moción de censura y aseguró que existen los votos necesarios para avanzar. “En la Constitución se contempla la interpelación para la moción de censura. Cinco o seis votos son los que están, teóricamente, lo que estamos conversando que están ahí”, afirmó.Además, cuestionó a sectores que se presentan como defensores de la transparencia y planteó: “Hay gente que se ha embanderado con la lucha contra la corrupción. Ahora les preguntan a los que están ahí en la mesa: ¿alguno cree que este gobierno puede sostener la moral como política de Estado?”.Durante una visita oficial a Israel, Martín Menem destacó el vínculo con ese país y expresó su entusiasmo por el viaje. “Es mi primer viaje oficial como presidente de la Cámara de Diputados y el primer destino elegido es Israel, más allá de Argentina estar jugando el Mundial, así que estoy muy emocionado y muy feliz de estar acá”, afirmó.Consultado sobre cuestiones futboleras, respondió que espera ver a Israel en una Copa del Mundo próximamente y eligió a Lionel Messi por sobre Diego Maradona: “Los dos son muy buenos, pero ahora, Messi”. Donald Trump rechazó la idea de promover un cambio de régimen en Irán y aseguró que ese tipo de estrategias no suele dar resultado. “No creo en el cambio de régimen; llevo años viendo cambios de régimen y sé que nunca funcionan”, afirmó.Y agregó: “Puedo asegurarles que este es un país donde el Emir y el Primer Ministro gozan de un gran respeto por parte del pueblo”.Además desmintió las versiones que indicaban que Estados Unidos financiaría a Irán como parte del acuerdo alcanzado. “Es un trato justo, un buen trato. Por cierto, no estamos invirtiendo dinero en Irán. Ese rumor que circuló ayer fue ridículo”, sostuvo.Además, remarcó: “No tenemos ninguna obligación de hacerlo”.También se refirió al conflicto entre Israel y Hezbollah y consideró que la situación se ha prolongado demasiado tiempo. “Israel lleva demasiado tiempo luchando contra Hezbollah y mucha gente está muriendo”, afirmó.También cuestionó algunos métodos militares utilizados en la guerra y agregó: “No hace falta derribar un edificio de apartamentos cada vez que se busca a alguien, porque hay mucha gente en esos edificios y no todos son de Hezbollah”. Según explicó, sugirió que Siria se encargue de enfrentar al grupo.
Stephen Cole is returning to StoryBeat for the third time. He's an award-winning musical theatre writer whose musicals have spanned the globe.Stephen's first production was Dodsworth starring Hal Linden. His Off-Broadway musicals include After the Fair, The Road to Qatar and Inventing Mary Martin. He won the prestigious Kleban Award for The Night of the Hunter. And Saturday Night at Grossinger's had successful runs in Dallas, LA, Florida, and Sonoma.Broadway legend Chita Rivera toured in Casper, which was reborn as Casper-The Friendly Musical. Merman's Apprentice, premiered at Birdland in New York and won the San Francisco Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Score. Stephen's latest musical, Goin' Hollywood, had its world premiere at WaterTower Theatre in Texas.His published books include That Book About That Girl, I Could Have Sung All Night, and MARY & ETHEL…and Mikey Who? which we talked about during Stephen's last appearance on this show. His current theatrical memoir, Camelton, also doubles as his one-man show, which played to sold-out crowds in New York.I've read Camelton, and can tell you it's a terrifically entertaining account of Stephen's extraordinarily challenging time writing a musical celebration for the Emir of Qatar. His reminiscence captures all the crazy sturm und drang of creating a massive musical under commission in a foreign land.
At the G7 summit in France, President Trump dismissed claims of $300 billion in funds to rebuild Iran on Tuesday, saying the U.S. is ‘not investing any money in Iran.' The president denied the claim twice during a bilateral meeting with the Emir of Qatar. Trump also said that he is ‘not happy with the way Israel has handled themselves with Lebanon and with Hezbollah.' The President also said he wants to focus on Ukraine, meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the G7.Gas prices fell below $4 a gallon on Sunday for the first time since mid-April. The drop comes as hopes for a possible end to the war in Iran improve market sentiment. President Trump also said that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen without tolls, and that the U.S. blockade on Iran would be lifted. A formal signing ceremony is scheduled for Friday in Switzerland.Eight people are dead after an Air Force B-52 bomber crashed shortly after takeoff from Edwards Air Force Base in California. Officials at the base say the aircraft was conducting a local test flight tied to a radar modernization program. The victims included military personnel, government civilians and contractors. Investigators have not determined what caused the crash and say the review could take months.

Para entender a disputa entre Estados Unidos e China é preciso recuar até 1776. Essa é a tese de Pedro Costa Jr., editor de Geopolítica e Relações Internacionais do jornal GGN, doutor em Ciência Política pela Universidade de São Paulo e autor do recém-lançado Estados Unidos versus China, a luta pelo poder global, publicado pela Editora Escuta. Neste episódio, produzido em parceria com o Observatório Político dos Estados Unidos, Tatiana Teixeira, editora-chefe do OPEU, e Yasmin Reis, pesquisadora do OPEU e doutoranda em Relações Internacionais pelo Programa Interinstitucional Santiago Dantas, recebem Pedro para uma conversa que articula teoria do poder global, história de longa duração e conjuntura contemporânea. A entrevista atravessa o encontro secreto entre Henry Kissinger e Zhou Enlai em 1971, a histórica visita de Nixon a Mao Tse Tung em 1972, o trauma do Vietnã, a reforma e abertura conduzida por Deng Xiaoping, a entrada da China na Organização Mundial do Comércio em 2001, o pivô fracassado de Barack Obama para a Ásia e o consenso bipartidário em Washington em torno da contenção global da China. Pedro discute por que Washington despertou tarde demais para o que Giovanni Arrighi chamou de transferência da fábrica e do cofre do mundo do Atlântico para o Pacífico e o que a aliança sem limites entre China e Rússia, firmada vinte dias antes da invasão da Ucrânia, sinaliza sobre o fim da velha ordem mundial liberal.

Ropný trh sa dostáva do novej fázy. Spojené arabské emiráty sa odkláňajú od kartelu OPEC, ktorý dlhodobo ovplyvňoval ceny ropy. Podľa analytika Jiřího Gavora to môže byť paradoxne dobrá správa pre Európu – vyššia ponuka ropy by totiž mohla tlačiť ceny nadol. USA sú v paradoxnej pozícii – vysoké ceny ropy im zároveň škodia aj zarábajú. Ak bude konflikt v Hormuzskom prielive dlhý, cena ropy pôjde ešte vyššie. Ak nie, cena ropy môže opäť klesnúť pod 80 dolárov za barel.
Spojené arabské emiráty oznámily, že vystoupí z Organizace zemí vyvážejících ropu OPEC. Tedy světového ropného kartelu, který mnohokrát zamával světovými cenami černého zlata a dokázal způsobit zdražení ropy i její nedostatek.Všechny díly podcastu Názory a argumenty můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Raidījumā Divas puslodes par Bulgāriju, par Ukrainu un, protams, arī par notiekošo Tuvajos Austrumos. Donaldam Trampam vakar vakarā nācās pagarināt pamieru termiņu karā ar Irānu. Bulgārijā, izskatās, ir pārvarēta politiskā krīze - dažu gadu laikā tur notikušas astoņas ārkārtas parlamenta vēlēšanas, beidzot vienai koalīcijai ir vairākums. Tiesa, vēlēšanu rezultāti daudzus pamatīgi satrauc. Ukrainā frontē jau ilgu laiku būtisku izmaiņu tikpat kā nav, toties prezidents Volodimirs Zelenskis nesen izstāstīja par kādu īpašu militāru operāciju, kurā krievu pozīcijas tika ieņemtas tikai ar kaujas robotu palīdzību, saņemot vairākus karavīrus arī gūstā. Aktualitātes analizē Ģeopolitikas pētījumu centra vecākais pētnieks Jānis Kažociņš un Ziemeļeiropas politikas centra direktors Artis Pabriks. Vai nācis bulgāriem „laimes lācis”? Politiskā krīze Bulgārijā ilgst kopš 2021. gada, taču tās saknes meklējamas vēl senāk – pagājušajā desmitgadē, kad premjerministra krēslu teju nemainīgi ieņēma partijas GERB jeb „Pilsoņi par Bulgārijas eiropeisku attīstību” līderis Boiko Borisovs. Jo tuvāk desmitgades beigām, jo pamanāmāk izpaudās korupcijas un valsts nozagšanas pazīmes. 2020. gada vasarā izvērtās pret valdību vērsti protesti, uz kuru fona veidojās vairākas jaunas t.s. „pārmaiņu partijas” ar antikorupcijas ievirzi. 2021. gada aprīlī notikušās vēlēšanas bija Borisova ēras beigas, taču parlaments izrādījās sadalīts apmēram vienlīdzīgi starp Borisova orbītas partijām, „pārmaiņu partijām” un kreiso bloku, kura centrā bija Bulgārijas Sociālistiskā partija, kādreizējās kompartijas mantiniece. Kopš 2021. gada Bulgārijā notikušas astoņas parlamenta vēlēšanas, pie tam no šajā periodā pastāvējušajām valdībām tikai trīs bija parlamentāras koalīcijas kabineti, savukārt četras – ar prezidenta dekrētu apstiprinātas pagaidu valdības. Arvien pamanāmāks šajos gados kļuva vēl viens spēks – labēji radikālās, nacionālistiskās partijas. Šī gada janvārī, gadu sabijusi pie varas, atkāpās Rosena Žeļazkova mazākuma valdība, kuru premjera partija GERB veidoja kopā ar sociālistu bloku un populistisko spēku „Ir tāda tauta”, un ar turku minoritāti pārstāvošās partijas Tiesību un brīvību alianse ārpuskoalīcijas atbalstu. Tūlīt pēc tam no amata atkāpās valsts prezidents Rumens Radevs, atvaļināts ģenerālmajors un kādreizējais Bulgārijas gaisa spēku komandieris, kurš 2017. gadā tika ievēlēts kā neatkarīgais kandidāts un ieguvis popularitāti kā politiski neatkarīgs valsts galva un Borisova iedibinātās oligarhiskās varas kritiķis. Radevs izveidoja partiju bloku „Progresīvā Bulgārija” ar kredo „Bulgārija pirmajā vietā!”, kurā iesaistījās kreisas ievirzes spēki – Politiskā kustība „Sociāldemokrāti”, Sociāldemokrātiskā partija un burtiski vēlēšanu priekšvakarā izveidotā „Mūsu tautas kustība”. Pirms vēlēšanām „Progresīvajai Bulgārijai” prognozēja apmēram trešdaļu balsu, taču 19. aprīlī tā ieguva nepilnus 44% un 131 no 240 deputātu vietām, tātad valdības veidošanai nepieciešamo vairākumu. Eksprezidenta blokam izdevies ne tikai atņemt teju visas balsis sociālistiem un apmēram divas piektdaļas no GERB elektorāta, bet arī atstāt ārpus parlamenta lielu daļu no labējo radikāļu partijām. Vienīgi liberālajam „pārmaiņu partiju” blokam izdevies saglabāt savas pozīcijas. Jau pirms vēlēšanām izskanēja bažīgas balsis, ka pāris nedēļas pēc atkratīšanās no Viktora Orbana Eiropas politika tagad būs ieguvusi viņa vietā jaunu Kremļa iztapoņu Rumena Radeva personā. Prezidenta amatā esot, Radevs paudis skepsi par militārā atbalsta lietderību Ukrainai, vēlmi uzturēt konstruktīvu dialogu ar Krieviju un mērenu eiroskepticismu. Pats eksprezidents gan jau priekšvēlēšanu kampaņas laikā deklarēja, ka negrasoties bloķēt Eiropas Savienības finanšu atbalstu Ukrainai. Tāpat eksperti lēš, ka viņš, iespējams, mazinās tiešo militāro palīdzību Kijivai, taču diezin vai kavēs Bulgārijas privāto ieroču ražotāju darījumus ar Ukrainu. Pasaule uz Hormuza āķa Šodien, 22. aprīlī, bija jābeidzas Savienoto Valstu prezidenta Donalda Trampa noteiktajam uguns pārtraukšanas termiņam konfliktā ar Irānu, taču vakar pievakarē pēc Vašingtonas laika prezidents paziņoja, ka pauze karadarbībā tiek pagarināta. Irānai tiekot dots laiks, lai izstrādātu pozīciju miera sarunām, kuru atsākšanās tika gaidīta jau pirmdien. Tomēr amerikāņu delegācija viceprezidenta Vensa vadībā tā arī nesēdās lidmašīnā uz Islamabadu, kad kļuva skaidrs, ka Teherānas pārstāvji tur neieradīsies. No Irānas galvaspilsētas pienāk ziņas, ka turienes politiskajā virsotnē notiek asa cīņa starp tiem, kuri vēlētos turpināt bezkompromisa konfliktu ar Savienotajām Valstīm un Izraēlu, un tiem, kuri būtu gatavi dialogam. Kā „vanagu” bloka galvenie pārstāvji tiek minēti Islāma revolūcijas sargu korpusa pavēlnieks Ahmads Vahidi un Augstākās nacionālās drošības padomes sekretārs Mohammads Bāghers Zolghadrs, savukārt t.s. „pragmatiķi” koncentrējas ap parlamenta spīkeru Mohammadu Bāgheru Gālibafu. Oficiālā Teherānas pozīcija pašreiz ir – neatsākt sarunas, kamēr Savienoto Valstu jūras spēki turpina Irānas ostu blokādi. Tādējādi Hormuza šaurums joprojām paliek dubultās blokādes žņaugos, jēlnaftas „Brent” cena svārstās ap simts dolāriem par barelu, dabasgāzes cenas Eiropā dubultojušās līdz līmenim sešdesmit eiro par megavatstundu, un viss notiekošais tiek vērtēts kā smagākā enerģētikas krīze pasaules vēsturē. Tiek piesauktas arī nopietnas bažas par globālo pārtikas apgādi, ciktāl Persijas līča valstis nodrošina arī apmēram trīsdesmit procentus no pasaules minerālmēslu produkcijas. Protams, Irāna savukārt sāpīgi izjūt amerikāņu jūras blokādes sekas. Pārtikas cenas valstī vidēji dubultojušās, bet dažu produktu, piemēram, rīsa cenas augušas vēl daudz ievērojamāk. Naftas eksporta pārtraukšana draud ar nopietnām tehnoloģiskām problēmām naftas ieguves industrijai. Savu rīcības plānu Hormuza krīzes sakarā sākušas būvēt Eiropas valstis. 17. aprīlī Parīzē klātienē tikās Francijas prezidents Emanuels Makrons, Lielbritānijas premjerministrs Kīrs Stārmers, Itālijas premjere Džordža Meloni un Vācijas kanclers Frīdrihs Mercs, savukārt daudzu citu Eiropas un arī ārpus Eiropas valstu vadītāji pieslēdzās samitam attālināti. Nozīmīgākais ir lēmums veidot apvienotus jūras spēkus civilās kuģniecības aizsardzībai Persijas līča rajonā, kuri gan aktīvu darbību varētu uzsākt tikai pēc tam, kad tiktu panākta miera vienošanās starp Savienotajām Valstīm un Irānu. Gatavību nozīmīgi iesaistīties paudušas arī Nīderlande, Spānija un Grieķija; kopdarbībai dots apzīmējums Hormuza šauruma kuģošanas brīvības iniciatīva. Šodien un rīt turpinājuma sesijā Londonā tiek risināti jau konkrētāki militārās plānošanas jautājumi. Piedalās ne tikai Eiropas NATO dalībvalstu, bet arī Kanādas, Japānas, Austrālijas, Apvienoto Arābu Emirātu un Ukrainas, bet ne Savienoto Valstu pārstāvji. Ukraiņu roboti nāk! Nu jau apmēram pusotru gadu presē reizumis parādījusies informācija par Ukrainas bruņoto spēku īstenotām kaujas misijām bez tiešas cilvēku iesaisties, izmantojot tikai robotus. Spriežot pēc šīm publikācijām, pirmā šāda kaujas epizode notikusi 2024. gada decembrī, kad kombinēts lidrobotu un braucošo robotizēto ložmetēju platformu uzbrukums krievu pozīcijām piespiedis ienaidnieku nozīmīgi pārgrupēt spēkus. Tomēr plašāku pasaules mediju uzmanību tēmai piesaistīja prezidents Volodimirs Zelenskis, pagājušonedēļ pastāstot par operāciju pērnvasar, kad ukraiņu roboti ieņēmuši pozīciju, kurā krievi pirms tam sekmīgi atsituši divus konvencionālus kājnieku uzbrukumus. Ukraiņu robotam izdevies uzspridzināt galvenā ienaidnieka bunkura ieeju, pēc kam pozīcijas aizstāvji pacēluši padošanās zīmes pret uzbrucēju lidrobotu kamerām un, šo pašu lidrobotu vadīti, paklausīgi aizsoļojuši uz ukraiņu pozīcijām padoties. Kā zināms, agresorvalsts militāristi savā taktiskajā ēdienkartē joprojām nesmādē lielgabalu gaļu, turpretim Ukrainas bruņotajiem spēkiem katra karavīra dzīvība ir dārga. Tā nu, vēlreiz apliecinot savu radošo un inovatīvo pieeju karadarbībai, Ukraina ir atšķīrusi jaunu lappusi militārajā vēsturē, kas tiek apzīmēta kā attālināti vadīts jeb daļēji autonoms kombinētu ieroču veidu manevrs. Kā norādījis Ukrainas līderis, pirmajos trīs šī gada mēnešos viņa valsts bruņotie spēki veikuši jau 22000 kaujas misiju, kurās izmantotas sauszemes robotizētās platformas. Kaujas lidrobotu izmantošanas apjomi ir vēl daudzkārt lielāki, un tiek nopietni spriests par Ukrainas iespējām šādi kompensēt agresorvalsts dzīvā spēka pārsvaru. Šomēnes Ukraina nozīmīgi intensificējusi arī triecienus Krievijas naftas pārstrādes un eksporta infrastruktūrai, kā rezultātā agresorvalsts naftas ieguve piedzīvojusi kritumu par vismaz trīssimt tūkstošiem barelu dienā, kas ir lielākais kopš globālās pandēmijas perioda. Šie militārie sasniegumi būtiski mainījuši Ukrainas vietu Eiropas drošības stratēģijas izkārtojumā. Kijiva vairs nav atbalsta lūdzēja nevienlīdzīgajā cīņā pret agresiju, bet kļūst par partneri, kas spējīgs piedāvāt neatsvaramu pieredzi jaunākās militārās tehnikas izstrādē un izmantošana taktikā. Konkrēts apliecinājums tam ir pagājušā nedēļā noslēgtais Ukrainas un Vācijas aizsardzības sadarbības pakts četru miljardu eiro vērtībā, kas paredz kopīgu lidrobotu un tālas darbības ieroču ražošanu, kā arī pretgaisa aizsardzības līdzekļu piegādi Ukrainai. Kijivas militāri tehnoloģiskās iespējas arvien vairāk novērtē arī citur pasaulē, t.sk. Persijas līča valstīs, kuras piedzīvojušas Irānas gaisa uzbrukumus. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš.
Die Taliban haben in Afghanistan ein neues Strafgesetzbuch eingeführt, das tief blicken lässt, wie sie sich die afghanische Gesellschaft vorstellen.

#Engelsiz Henüz 10 yaşında, ama hedefi de başarı hikâyesi de şimdiden büyük.
Gut vier Jahre nach der Machtübernahme der Islamisten in Afghanistan zeigt sich: Die Taliban sind kein homogener Block. Zwischen dem extremistischen und dem pragmatischeren Lager schwelt ein Konflikt. Die Taliban haben ein neues Afghanistan geschaffen. Das Land am Hindukusch ist im fünften Jahr ihrer Herrschaft deutlich vorangekommen auf dem Weg zu einem totalitären Gottesstaat. Vor allem in den Städten herrscht die Angst, vor den Patrouillen der Sittenpolizei und dem allgegenwärtigen Geheimdienst. Gleichzeitig jedoch wird immer wieder klar: Die Taliban sind keine homogene Gruppe, es gibt deutliche Brüche zwischen den Pragmatikern in der Hauptstadt Kabul und den besonders Radikalen im südafghanischen Kandahar. Dort sitzt nämlich der geheimnisvolle Emir, der die oberste Autorität im Land darstellt. Er hat eine weitgehende Blockade des Internets angeordnet, er verbannt Mädchen von den Schulen und Frauen von den Universitäten. Doch seine Dekrete werden regelmässig von gemässigteren Regime-Vertretern sabotiert. Wohin also steuert das Land der Taliban?

This sonic work is an attempt to communicate my profound childhood relationship with Kano, as well as to hint at the complex layers of Northern Nigeria. It is a piece of strange juxtapositions, and cross-cultural interferences and vibrations. The sounds of ancient rock gongs in Birnin Kudu reverberating across the plains, beating out Hausa and Fulani rhythms and songs; the colonial British voice, a history of violence; and the beauty of the Hausa language. Sounds of my child self from 1970s, recorded 47 years ago, captured a bird call, and myself mimicking that bird, called Ragon Maza in the Hausa language. Beyond the hiss, which seems like a sonic version of the mists of time, you can hear the sounds at dusk, one evening of my childhood, the distant prayer call from Kano mosque, and the sounds of evening crickets. My flame tree seed pod, from our Kano garden, that has travelled the world with me in my suitcase, shimmies in the background. Kano beads, which you can hear, are glass beads that were made in Palestine, from Dead Sea salt, and sand, made in the glassmaking city of Al Khalil (current day Hebron), supplying glass beads that were traded in Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia and finally arrived in Kano city. Mine are green.I have taken multiple fragments from a 5-inch reel tape recording, held in the Pitt Rivers Museum sound archive, recorded by Bernard Evelyn Buller Fagg, between June and September 1955, when he was working for the British Colonial administration. He was an archaeologist interested in rock gongs, and he came across several ancient caves, with rock gongs, and important cave paintings, in the area of Birnin Kudu, an old city with ancient history, in Northern Nigeria, that was once part of Kano state. He invited local drummers to see if the rock gongs could match their traditional drums and rhythms. The various sections included sounds of the ‘string drum' or Kalangu drum, a Hausa talking drum, the rhythm of the Tambari, used to greet chiefs and emirs. And many other local songs, and numerous types of drumming. I picked the ones that I loved most. Where possible I have tried to pair the rhythm on rock gongs with the rhythm on the drum itself. I interweave the glitches from the 1955 recording, as sonic interference - colonial interference, or my own presence, or maybe its the sound of tuning into the past.Umar Shamsi Muhammad, a university student, helped me gather additional sounds, from the Birnin Kudu caves. He captured sounds of students and curators beating the rock gongs in the main caves, of Mesa and Habude, and interviewed an historian, Umar Farouk Abubakar. You can hear two fragments of this interview, as well as a Hausa / Fulani flute player and drummer, playing the Koroso dance in the caves. In the centre of this piece are the sounds of the actual Tambari drum, and the exhilarating sound of the double reed wind instrument called the Algaita, played recently in Kano, for the greeting of the Emir of Kano.You can understand all about how Nigeria was created, by reading the excellent book by Max Siollun, called What Britain Did To Nigeria. I have included a quote from a British soldier who was part of the battle for the Sokoto Caliphate in March 1903, who describes the battle as "some slaughter, much fun". A British officer explains: "we chase and kill until the area is clear of living men - and we tire of blood and bullets".Rock gong music from Nigeria reimagined by Salma Ahmad Caller.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

Ever wondered how the Kingdom where President Bola Tinubu got his popular title – Jagaban Borgu – is faring?In this episode of the Mic On Podcast, Seun Okinbaloye sits down with Murtala Haliru Dantoro, Prince of the Borgu Royal Family and son of the late Emir, Senator Haliru Dantoro Kitoro III.Dantoro reflects on his father's close bond with President Bola Tinubu, the historic roots of the Jagaban title, and the evolving realities of the Borgu Kingdom today. He speaks candidly about the growing security challenges in the region, the limitations of local government in tackling insecurity, and why he believes stronger federal intervention, including a visible military presence, is critical to safeguarding lives and communities.On national politics and the road to 2027, he shares his perspective on the shifting landscape, the potential strength of an opposition coalition, and why an Atiku–Obi ticket could reshape the contest against APC dominance, if regional dynamics are properly understood.Guest:Murtala Haliru DantoroPrince, Borgu Royal Family

The Enlightened Family Business Podcast Ep. 153 - A Family Built Startup Story From The Kitchen Table with Mehmet Tascioglu In this episode of the Enlightened Family Business Podcast, host Chris Yonker interviews Mehmet Tascioglu, the Gen Z founder of Mosaic Cakes, a unique family business based in the Detroit area. Mehmet shares his entrepreneurial journey, starting from his family's experience during the Great Recession, through his initial ventures like Connect Me Tutoring, to the establishment of Mosaic Cakes. The discussion delves into the values instilled by Mehmet's father, the significance of family collaboration, navigating decision-making, and the challenges of introducing a new product to the market. Mehmet offers insights on the importance of mentorship, the influence of cultural heritage, and his vision for Mosaic Cakes as a symbol of the American melting pot. The conversation also explores generational differences, the role of tradition and innovation in family businesses, and the aspiration to build an ethical and impactful brand. · 00:54 Meet the Gen Z Founder: Mehmet Tascioglu · 03:14 The Origin Story of Mosaic Cakes · 05:38 Building a Business During the Pandemic · 09:10 The Unique Appeal of Mosaic Cakes · 13:24 Family Dynamics in Business · 18:24 Leadership and Decision Making · 19:08 Defining Family Business Values · 20:21 Family Influence on Business · 25:23 Generational Perspectives and Challenges · 32:12 The Importance of Mentorship · 34:24 Future Plans for Mosaic Cakes Websites: · fambizforum.com. · www.chrisyonker.com · Linkedin: @mehmet-tascioglu · Instagram: @mosaic_cakes · Tiktok @mosaiccakes Mehmet's Bio: Mehmet is Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Mosaic Cakes. Prior to starting Mosaic Cakes, Mehmet founded the nonprofit Connect Me Tutoring in 2020, which has since grown into the nation's largest youth-run free tutoring service, providing over 40,000 sessions. Mosaic Cakes is a Michigan-based gourmet dessert company pioneering an entirely new category in the American market. Founded by Mehmet (Stanford MS&E), his mother Senay, and his brother Emir, the company transforms a cherished family recipe into handcrafted premium triangular cakes featuring crushed butter cookies folded into signature chocolate sauce with fresh fruits, crunchy nuts, or other premium ingredients, creating a stunning mosaic pattern in every slice. What began as a beloved family tradition—a dessert the founders grew up enjoying at birthday parties, family gatherings, and celebrations—has become a thriving direct-to-consumer and wholesale business. Throughout their lives, the family witnessed how even the pickiest eaters absolutely loved these cakes, validating that this exceptional flavor experience deserved to be shared with communities across America. At its core, the company's mission centers on positivity, inclusivity, and courage, helping Americans discover a dessert experience unavailable anywhere else in grocery stores, bakeries, or restaurants while building a values-driven business that celebrates family heritage and entrepreneurial spirit.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, mass legal and illegal immigration without assimilation causes profound cultural and societal changes, leading to a dark period in Western societies where Marxist-Islamist ideology smothers Enlightenment values. You can see this in NYC where foreign-born voters overwhelmingly support socialist-Islamist immigrant candidate Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral race against Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa. The Democrat Party relies on Marxist-socialist beliefs for power, abandoning the American founding, Declaration, Constitution, separation of powers, and genuine elections, instead favoring unelected judges, bureaucracy and massive government spending to control the people. Later, Jeffrey Rosen calls in to discuss his new book, The Pursuit of Liberty: How Hamilton vs. Jefferson Ignited the Lasting Battle Over Power in America. Rosen explains the enduring clash between Hamilton's vision of a strong federal government and powerful executive, and Jefferson's emphasis on states' rights and individual liberties. Also, Phase two of the Gaza peace plan is highly complex involving numerous countries, governments, and figures like Trump, Kushner, Netanyahu, and Dermer, who deserve credit for their efforts. However, Hamas, a terrorist group per its 1988 charter calling for Israel's destruction via jihad, establishment of an Islamic state under Sharia, rejection of negotiations, and anti-Semitic rhetoric, refuses to disarm or surrender, instead centralizing power by torturing and killing challengers among Palestinians. The world, including the UN, universities, and Hamas supporters, remains silent on Hamas's slaughter of fellow Palestinians. Qatar's Emir condemns Israel as committing genocide in Gaza, reaffirms support for Palestine without denouncing Hamas, while Turkey's Erdogan blocks Netanyahu from a regional meeting. Israel previously surrounded and nearly destroyed Hamas but withdrew for peace and international pressure; now, hesitant Arab/Muslim nations refuse troops in Gaza, leaving Israel and the IDF to eliminate Hamas for lasting peace.
