====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1====================================================DEVOCIÓN   MATUTINA PARA ADULTOS 2025“CON JESÚS HOY”Narrado por: Exyomara AvilaDesde: Bogotá, ColombiaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church ===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================18 de DiciembreLas piedras desaparecen: la promesa permanece«Jesús salió del templo y, cuando ya se iba, se acercaron sus discípulos para mostrarle los edificios del templo. Respondiendo él, les dijo: ¿Veis todo esto? De cierto os digo que no quedará aquí piedra sobre piedra que no sea derribada"» (Mat. 24: 1-2).El templo de Jerusalén (llamado por los historiadores «el Segundo Templo»), recién reconstruido entonces por iniciativa del rey Herodes el Grande sobre una plataforma sostenida por enormes bloques de piedra, era el orgullo de la nación de Israel. No es de extrañar que los discípulos de Jesús se sintiesen impresionados por su esplendor. Las palabras del Maestro debieron de chocarles, porque el templo representaba para sus compatriotas la presencia de Dios entre su pueblo.Sin embargo, menos de cuarenta años más tarde, en el año 70 d.C., las legiones romanas destruyeron Jerusalén e incendiaron el templo. Un bajorrelieve del llamado arco de Tito, levantado en Roma para conmemorar la victoria de ese general sobre Judea, representa a unos soldados llevando como trofeo el candelabro que iluminaba el lugar santo. Si algo había quedado de Jerusalén, fue completamente arrasado en el año 135 por el emperador Adriano.El famoso «Muro de las Lamentaciones» es solo parte de la inmensa plataforma de piedras que sostenía la explanada sobre la que se asentaba el templo.Por si esta eliminación de vestigios no fuera suficiente, el 18 de octubre del año 2016 el Consejo Ejecutivo de la Unesco «votaba» en París «la no existencia de vínculos entre el pueblo de Israel y las ruinas del Templo de Jerusalén». Como si la realidad histórica, como si la evidencia visible, fuera votable y solo dependiera de la opinión de una mayoría.De este Consejo, formado por 58 países, veinticuatro votaron a favor de borrar cualquier relación entre Israel y el antiguo templo. Solo seis (Estados Unidos, Alemania, Gran Bretaña, Lituania, Estonia y Países Bajos), se pronunciaron en defensa de la evidencia histórica de que Israel tuvo allí su templo. Hubo veintiséis abstenciones y dos ausencias.Esto significa que la destrucción profetizada por Jesús de que no quedaría del templo piedra sobre piedra se ha cumplido, tan literalmente que para muchos ya ha comenzado a desaparecer hasta la memoria de aquellas piedras.El templo había servido como símbolo visible de la presencia invisible de Dios entre nosotros (Éxo. 25: 8). En Jesús, Dios vino a habitar con nosotros (Juan 1: 14). Entonces y ahora Cristo es Emmanuel, «Dios con nosotros» (Mat. 1: 23).Tan fiable como su promesa de que nada quedaría de las piedras del templo, es la de que Jesús estará con nosotros «todos los días hasta el fin del mundo» (Mat. 28: 20). 

On the 16th day of beervent, Higher Gravity gave to us...Imperial Extra Double StoutHarvey & Sons (Lewes) LTD. -- Lewes, East Sussex BN7 2AH, EnglandUnder the supervision of the board of trustees of A. Le Coq and Tartu Brewery, EstoniaABV: 9%"After the import traffic increased dramatically in the early 1900's. A. Le Coq was invited by the Tsarist government to brew his legendary Imperial Extra Double Stout within the Russian Empire. In 1912 the first Imperial Extra Double Stout left the Brewery in Tartu, the former province of Livonia, now Estonia. World War I and the Russian Revolution, however, brought a dramatic end to A. Le Coq's venture. Production ceased until 1921 and his brewery was nationalised by the Bolshevik government. The Facsimile label on each bottle of Imperial Extra double Stout pays homage to A. Le Coq without whom this classic style would never have reached its legendary place in the world of beers."The style Imperial Russian Stout and the name Albert Le Coq are synonymous. In the early 1800's the Belgian A. Le Coq exported Imperial Stout from England to Russia and the Baltic area. ***// About the Craft Parenting Podcast

Amidst ongoing U.S. efforts to mediate a Russia–Ukraine peace and the release of a new U.S. national security strategy that has sent shockwaves through Europe, I'm sitting down with the foreign minister of Latvia, Baiba Braze, to get her unique perspective.Latvia is a small Baltic country bordering Estonia, Lithuania, Belarus, and Russia. In the 1940s, the Soviets occupied Latvia and its neighboring countries—a reality that has made Latvia hyper-vigilant against potential Russian expansionism.Latvia joined both the EU and NATO in 2004, alongside Lithuania and Estonia.Latvia is one of the few NATO countries that spends considerably more than 2 percent of its GDP per year on its military.“We keep reminding [other NATO countries] that it's possible to do that, and we are showing you as our example. In our case, it's 5 percent hard defense capabilities,” Braze said.Latvia is working to reallocate state funding to hit a target of 4.91 percent of GDP in defense spending by 2026 and 5 percent in subsequent years.In our wide-ranging interview, Braze discusses the Ukraine war, how she sees a potential peace agreement taking shape, and how pressure can be mounted on Russia. She's traveled four times to Ukraine in the 18 months since her appointment as Latvia's minister of foreign affairs.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

When Markus Villig founded Bolt 12 years ago, it was one of dozens trying to take on Uber. Today, it's the only major European ride-hailing company left — worth €7.4bn and expanding across taxis, scooters, car rental and delivery.This week, Europe editor Mimi Billing sits down with Markus to discuss why it's now almost impossible to build a new ride-hailing network, why he thinks Europe is sleepwalking into a “disaster” on self-driving cars and physical AI, and how he's helping shape Estonia's defence tech landscape.Markus also explains why founders should engage more with politicians, what Europe needs from a single capital market — and his experience as the youngest board member of any US public company, thanks to buy now, pay later giant Klarna.

In this Sõdurileht podcast episode we sit down with a U.S. Army anti-armour gunner and a current intelligence analyst and YouTuber Ryan McBeth, who has become one of the most recognisable voices explaining modern warfare, cyber security and military technology.We talk about what brought Ryan to Estonia, how the 2007 cyberattacks reshaped the country, and why Estonia has become a model for digital resilience. Ryan shares insights from two decades in the U.S. Army, from heavy weapons to C4ISR systems, and explains how open-source intelligence and social media influence operations are reshaping today's conflicts.

This session will examine key considerations for leaders, senders, and international travelers/workers in the areas of duty of care, risk assessment, contingency planning, security, and common pitfalls ("lessons learned") in international mission work.

Over 100,000 Ukrainian refugees have come to Estonia at some point since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Of those, tens of thousands remain in the country, building their own communities and integrating with local Estonians. For many, art is an important assertion of Ukrainian identity, but also a bridge to their new neighbors. Scholar and filmmaker Parker Watt set out to document these stories and embarked on an integration journey of his own during a year spent in Estonia, finding meaning at each step, proverbial and literal, along the way.Image: Facebook | Ukrainian song and dance group “Volya”Baltic Ways is a podcast from the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies, produced in partnership with the Baltic Initiative at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

Six million people is greater than the population of Norway. But that's how many British people of working age are claiming benefits instead of working, so said Kemi Badenoch at a press conference this morning about how to “get Britain working”.With more workless households than the population of Estonia (1.4m), and one in four people now self-reporting as disabled, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley ask how Britain became one big welfare state, explain why Labour's workers rights bill isn't going to help, and look at whether the Conservatives' promise to review the whole work and welfare system will be enough.

Polska ma najwięcej giełd kryptowalut w UE – ok. 2000 podmiotów. Ekspert ds. przestępczości finansowej ostrzega: „Nie przyszli tu przez podatki. Obecnie nie bronimy obywateli”.Polska jest dziś jednym z najbardziej „nasyconych” krajów kryptowalutami w Unii Europejskiej – ale nie w dobrym znaczeniu. Jak zwraca uwagę Michał Gromek, ekspert ds. przestępczości finansowej i kryptowalut, weto prezydenta Karola Nawrockiego wobec ustawy krypto podtrzymuje stan niebezpiecznego chaosu.Rekordowa liczba giełd. „Nie przez podatki ani pogodę”Gromek przypomina, że Polska ma ok. 1800–2000 podmiotów zajmujących się obrotem kryptowalutami, podczas gdy:W takiej Szwecji mamy dziewięć podmiotów. Estonia miała kiedyś około 1200, po porządnej czystce zostało im 40.Według eksperta nie jest tak, że firmy krypto wybierają Polskę, bo to „raj innowacji”:Te podmioty nie przyszły tu dlatego, że mamy świetne podatki czy pogodę. Naprawdę tak nie jest. Jesteśmy ewenementem w skali Europy – i to nie jest komplement.Gromek przypomina, że gdy Estonia i Litwa zaczęły czyścić swoje rejestry z podejrzanych spółek, część biznesu „przeszła” właśnie do Polski i na Słowację.Nadzór iluzoryczny. „Dzieje się tam sporo, czego nie chcemy widzieć”Ekspert opisuje własny „test terenowy”: w cywilu, bez garnituru, objechał z kolegą 11 kantorów kryptowalut w różnych miastach. Chodziło o zdobycie adresów portfeli i prześledzenie przepływów.Korzystając z dostępnego oprogramowania mogliśmy zobaczyć, jakie pieniądze wpływają na te portfele. I dzieje się tam sporo z miejsc, z których naprawdę nie chcielibyśmy tych przepływów widzieć.Jakich?Widać środki z wymuszeń, od podmiotów objętych sankcjami, z giełd kryptowalut oznaczonych jako wysokiego ryzyka.Problem w tym, że polskie firmy krypto nie mają dziś obowiązku korzystania z zaawansowanych systemów analizy transakcji:W bankowości przelew do Iranu czy Syrii system automatycznie może zatrzymać. Technologia istnieje. Firmy krypto nie mają obowiązku jej stosować – a że jest droga, w 95% przypadków po prostu nie jest używana.https://wnet.fm/2025/12/09/koalicja-siega-po-wybory-marcin-dybowski-cofaja-nas-do-czasow-stalinowskich/Do tego dochodzi niemal symboliczna liczba kontroli:W tym roku były może dwie, trzy kontrole, w zeszłym siedem–osiem. A podmiotów mamy około dwóch tysięcy.600–700 tysięcy oszukanych. „Skala problemu jest ogromna”Według danych Polskiego Instytutu Ekonomicznego, na oszustwach krypto mogło się sparzyć 600–700 tysięcy osób. Gromek opisuje jeden z typowych mechanizmów:Dzwoni się do osób starszych. Proponuje „inwestycję dla wnuka” albo „bezpieczną lokatę”. Najpierw proszą o 200–250 euro. Potem przychodzą zrzuty ekranu, na których ta kwota „rośnie”. Ludzie biorą kredyty, ustanawiają hipotekę na swoim domu, wysyłają duże sumy – i wszystko tracą.Dlatego – jego zdaniem – dyskusja o kryptowalutach nie może się sprowadzać wyłącznie do hasła „rozwój innowacji”:Balans między rozwojem rynku a bezpieczeństwem jest konieczny. Ale dziś w praktyce nie bronimy obywateli.„To jak masowa sprzedaż broni – zyski są, ale koszty jeszcze większe”Na koniec Gromek używa obrazu, który dobrze podsumowuje jego ocenę obecnej sytuacji:Gdyby Polska zalegalizowała sprzedaż pistoletów, karabinów i strzelb bez żadnych ograniczeń, byłby to świetny biznes. Firmy zarabiałyby, budżet miałby większe wpływy. Ale konsekwencje społeczne mogłyby całkowicie przyćmić te zyski.Jego zdaniem podobny mechanizm widać dziś na rynku krypto: szybki rozwój i duże pieniądze po jednej stronie, rosnące ryzyko przestępczości i masowych strat zwykłych ludzi – po drugiej.

On September 28, 1994, the MS Estonia sank in the Baltic Sea, taking 852 of her 989 passengers with her in what remains, to this day, one of the worst maritime disasters in European history. Thirty years later this ship and her sinking is still the subject of controversy, conspiracies, and unanswered questions.⁠

God is true, and His Word is truth.  There is absolute truth, and the bible clearly defines this truth for us. We can know God is true by His creation, by our conscience, and by rational thought.  Never accept someone else's filter, until you look at their life -- is it what you want?

The Wolf's Call: Submarine Thrillers and Nuclear Miscalculation — General Blaine Holt — General Holt analyzes the French thriller film The Wolf's Call, utilizing it as a framework to examine the independence of France's nuclear deterrent and the terrifying velocity of nuclear launch protocols that preclude human intervention once activated. Holtdraws historical parallels to Cold War close calls including the Cuban Missile Crisis and contemporary hybrid warfare scenarios, emphasizing how catastrophically easily strategic miscalculation can cascade into unintended nuclear escalation with civilization-ending consequences. 1937 ESTONIA

In this special episode, we examine what happens when a country with decades of digital-state experience meets a nation only beginning to debate digital identity. Estonia's Chief Information Officer, Lauri Luht, and long-time e-Residency advocate Adam Rang, unpack the UK's sudden pivot toward eID, the misconceptions shaping public fears, and the practical realities behind privacy, data protection and cyber resilience. They explain why digital identity is not a threat to civil liberties but a prerequisite for transparency, how trust is built through consent and accountability, and why culturally aligned design, not “one-size-fits-all” solutions, determines success. The conversation also explores the soft-power impact of Estonia's digital reputation and the opportunities that a well-implemented eID unlocks for both citizens and the private sector.

On my podcast, we talk a lot about coexistence with large carnivores and the challenges it poses. Some of those challenges might seem insurmountable to some. To shed some light on overcoming these hurdles, I contacted Helen Arusoo, an Estonian nature journalist and the leader of the National Animal Working Group. In this conversation, we talk about how Estonia overcame these hurdles and created something that I would consider the gold standard of coexistence with large carnivores.Unsurprisingly, the majority of our time was spent discussing wolves as they seem to be the most difficult carnivore species to coexist with, at least in the northern hemisphere. However, we did discuss other large carnivores like bears too. Our conversation focused mostly on social and cultural factors. We also touched on the European Commission's proposal to lower the protection status of wolves, something we've discussed extensively in one of the previous episodes.It was a wonderful conversation and I enjoyed speaking with Helen. Her profound understanding of the challenges of coexistence is impressive. She presented a deeply thought-out perspective and I can only wish that more people who care about wolves could learn from her experience and the Estonian model of coexistence with large carnivores.Subscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and FacebookMentioned in this episode:This is the Conservation and Science podcast Replay series, a curated collection of best episodes from last year.

The seemingly unstoppable rise of “big data” and Artificial Intelligence is reshaping and destabilising the global economy. But where do small islands fit into this? Could digital technologies like AI level the playing field, or do they represent a new form of technocolonialism? Can Small Island Developing States (SIDS) embed them quickly enough to benefit from new economic opportunities, or are they likely to be left further behind? In this episode, Emily and Matt speak to a number of experts grappling with these kinds of questions. In our "Island Voices" segment Kunal Singh from Fiji talks about the impact of AI on climate finance. We then break down the issue with Preeya Mohan from Trinidad and Courtney Lindsay from Jamaica in our “Explainer”. Next, in the “Big Picture” we speak to Külli Sarapuu, from Estonia, and Donald Baldeosingh from Trinidad, two people who are grappling with the public policy implications of digitalisation. Finally, in “No Stupid Questions”, Emily and Matt ask whether the risks of AI are overstated by critics.

Mo Fürste spricht über den Moment, in dem der Applaus verstummt, und das echte Leben beginnt. Wie es sich anfühlt, wenn deine Identität plötzlich weg ist. Warum Athleten zweimal sterben und was du daraus über Karriere, Veränderung und mentale Stärke lernen kannst. Mit 9 verlor er seinen Vater auf der Estonia. Mit 33 seine Sportler-Identität. Heute ist er Gründer von HYROX, einer globalen Fitness-Bewegung mit über einer Million Athleten weltweit. Mo Fürste über Trauma, Triumph und den härtesten Neustart seines Lebens. Eine Folge für alle, die einmal ganz oben waren und sich fragen, wie man wieder aufsteht. Jetzt in TOMorrow. Und vielleicht in deinem Kopf für immer.

Everyone has a filter -- the way we see the wold around us.  As Christinas we need to have a biblical filter.  We all have to answer 4 major questions of life: God, origin, human nature, and moral views.  How we filter things will determine what we see, what we believe, and our future results.  God's ways are best for us, so we go to the Bible to learn to see things the way God sees them.  

We're joined by Mehran Gul, author of The New Geography of Innovation, who paints a detailed picture on how innovation power is shifting from Silicon Valley to unexpected places - China, Singapore, Switzerland, and beyond. As a former advisor at the World Economic Forum and World Bank, Mehran has spent years studying the frontier of technological development, institutional evolution, and national strategy. His research spans eight countries across three continents summarised in his new book which challenges Western innovation orthodoxy—and offers a compelling vision for a more distributed, more inclusive innovation future. We dive into: -How Chinese talent is shaping the Global AI landscape -Why innovation isn't just unicorns and startups, but includes state-led infrastructure -Singapore's invisible excellence: no unicorns, but global digital leadership -Switzerland's surprising dominance in R&D and public transport innovation -The cultural and structural flaws in Europe's startup scene -What stable governance, national purpose, and civic trust do for innovation -What people get wrong about AI, disruption, and the future of work Key Takeaways from the Episode: 1. China Is No Longer a Copycat: China's MSRA lab published the most cited scientific paper of the 21st century—training a generation of AI researchers that now dominate the global talent pipeline. 2. Singapore and Switzerland Show Us a Different Model: Forget unicorns. These countries focus on systems-level innovation—urban planning, transport, digital governance—that directly improve lives. 3. Government Can Drive Real Innovation: Singapore's GovTech and digital twin strategy prove that with the right institutions, even small countries can lead the world. 4. Europe's Cultural Challenge: While Europe has capital and talent, its innovation suffers from risk aversion, private mindsets, and a fear of visible failure. 5. Stock Options as a Cultural Lens: The difference between PayPal's billionaire mafia and Skype's 11 millionaires reveals how equity culture influences ambition and scale. 6. Unicorns Are a Poor Innovation Metric: Mehran critiques the obsession with unicorn counts and valuations. True innovation should be measured by quality of life, productivity, and institutional resilience. 7. The Real AI Debate Isn't Job Loss: We overhype automation and job loss. The real question is: who controls the models, who benefits, and how do we ensure global equity? 8. Innovation Will Be Multipolar: The future isn't a US-China binary. Countries like Canada, South Korea, and Estonia are becoming quiet powerhouses of tech progress. 9. Infrastructure Is Innovation: Switzerland's trains, Korea's chip fabs, and China's urban ecosystems all show that building real-world infrastructure is just as innovative as launching apps. 10. Innovation Must Be Contextualized: What works in San Francisco doesn't always work in São Paulo or Jakarta. Mehran urges us to localize innovation strategies for real impact.

PLA Anti-Submarine Warfare Grows, But Taiwan Conflict Will Immediately Escalate to Total War for Ryukyu Islands — Rick Fisher — Fisher notes that the PLA Navy has invested heavily in advanced anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities. However, Japan maintains a meaningful deterrent margin through its new lithium-battery powered submarines. Fisher warns that China cannot impose an effective blockade of Taiwan without invading and occupying the Sakushima Islands (part of the Ryukyu chain), guaranteeing that any conflict over Taiwan's status will immediately transition into total, wider warfare involving Japan and the United States. 1937 ESTONIA

Oggi agli Stati generali della natalità il presidente dell'Istat Chelli ha confermato un nuovo crollo delle nascite: nei primi otto mesi del 2025 il calo è del 5,4% rispetto al 2024, segnalando un altro possibile record negativo. Il presidente Mattarella ha avvertito che il declino demografico inciderà sulla sostenibilità dei conti pubblici e sulla coesione tra le generazioni. A ciò si aggiungono i dati Ocse: nel 2025 l'età pensionistica media salirà fino ai 70 anni in Paesi come Italia, Danimarca ed Estonia, mentre la popolazione attiva italiana è destinata a ridursi di oltre il 35% nei prossimi quarant'anni. Per il segretario generale Cormann l'invecchiamento è una sfida strutturale che ridurrà le entrate pubbliche e aumenterà le spese, imponendo l'innalzamento dell'età effettiva di pensionamento e maggiori opportunità lavorative per i più anziani. Una ricetta che, però, la politica continua a eludere. Ne parliamo con Vincenzo Galasso, professore ordinario all'Università Bocconi, autore di "Gioventù smarrita".Spazio, nel nuovo budget Esa programmi per 22 miliardiLa ministeriale Esa di Brema ha approvato un budget da 22 miliardi, oltre il 30% in più rispetto al 2022, per rafforzare autonomia strategica, difesa e competitività del settore spaziale europeo. L'Italia parteciperà con oltre 3,5 miliardi, puntando a massimizzare ricadute industriali e influenza politica. Il nuovo piano dell'Esa privilegia osservazione della Terra, connettività sicura, navigazione avanzata e programmi "dual use", cruciali nel contesto geopolitico segnato dalla guerra in Ucraina e dalla competizione con USA, Cina e India. Roma chiede l'accelerazione della costellazione Iris2 ed evita sovrapposizioni sul programma Ers, mentre sui lanciatori insiste per più voli di Ariane 6 e Vega-C. L'Esa guarda già allo sviluppo di vettori riutilizzabili per competere con SpaceX. Il nuovo budget segna un tentativo di riposizionamento globale dell'Europa nello spazio, mentre l'Italia rafforza il proprio ruolo anche grazie alla presenza di un astronauta nazionale nella missione lunare Artemis. Interviene Emilio Cozzi - Autore di "Geopolitica dello spazio".Al via il Black Friday: previsti 5 miliardi di speseIl Black Friday genererà quest'anno 5 miliardi di spesa, +20% sul 2024 e +145% rispetto al 2018, trainato dalla volontà degli italiani di anticipare i regali di Natale sfruttando gli sconti. Secondo Confcommercio, una quota tra il 10% e il 15% degli acquisti è aggiuntiva e non sostitutiva, sostenendo anche le vendite di dicembre. Elettronica, moda, giocattoli e cura della persona restano i segmenti principali, mentre cresce il "very low cost" da piattaforme cinesi, che secondo Confesercenti movimenteranno 4,5 milioni di pacchi: da qui l'apprezzamento per l'imposta da 2 euro sui prodotti extra-UE. Online si spenderanno 2,2 miliardi: 34,9 milioni di italiani acquisteranno sul web, con un Black Friday che vale da solo il 4,8% dei pacchi annui. Il fenomeno è ormai maturo: consumatori più consapevoli, merchant più preparati, pianificazione anticipata e offerte sempre più personalizzate. Nel 2025 l'eCommerce italiano supererà i 62 miliardi, con servizi e prodotti in crescita rispettivamente del 9% e del 5%. Approfondiamo il tema con Valentina Pontiggia - Direttrice Osservatorio eCommerce B2C Netcomm Politecnico di Milano.Istat, fatturato industria settembre +2,1% mese, +3,4% annoA settembre il fatturato dell'industria cresce del 2,1% sul mese e del 3,4% sull'anno, con aumenti sia sul mercato interno sia su quello estero; i servizi segnano +1,8% congiunturale e +4,3% tendenziale. Bene commercio all'ingrosso e altri servizi, mentre nell'industria avanzano beni strumentali, intermedi e di consumo, con un calo solo nell'energia. Nel terzo trimestre la crescita è moderata ma diffusa, sia in valore sia in volume, e coinvolge anche i servizi. Su base annua gli aumenti più forti riguardano i beni strumentali e, nei servizi, informazione-comunicazione e attività professionali e tecniche. L'Istat sottolinea un quadro complessivamente positivo, con segnali di ripresa diffusi in entrambi i comparti. Parliamo con Fausto Bianchi - Presidente Piccola Industria.

Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi is one of the most in-demand maestros in the world, and one of Alec’s favorite conductors. Järvi is currently the chief conductor of the NHK symphony orchestra in Tokyo and the Tonhalle Orchester-Zürich. Over his career, he’s led orchestras in Paris, Frankfurt, Stockholm, Malmö, and, for the decade between 2001 and 2011, here in the United States, as the musical director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. He and his musical family are pillars of the thriving classical music scene in his home country of Estonia. Paavo Järvi talks to Alec about how slowing down in the pandemic offered Paavo time to think, his early love of music, what it was like to come to the United States from Soviet-era Estonia as a 17-year-old, and what he took away from a decade of conducting the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.

In our second short episode for November, we take a close look at a the 1692 trial of Thiess of Kaltenbrunn, a purported werewolf in the town of  Jürgensburg, in Livonia, (a Baltic region now divided between Estonia and Latvia). “Old Thiess,” as he was known, described himself as being a  particularly exotic form of werewolf -- one who served God in Hell.  The testimony offered was so curious that we will be presenting the court transcripts verbatim, with nearly all exchanges between witness and judges included. Decide for yourself!

HEADLINE: GAIUS & GERMANICUS IN LONDINIUM 91 AD: The "When Russia Wins" War Game and NATO's Empty Shell. Gaius and Germanicus continue their discussion, reflecting on how Woodrow Wilson's 14 points led to catastrophe. They then play the "paranoid NATO dream" war game, "When Russia Wins." The scenario posits that in 2028, after the 28-point plan is implemented, Russian forces occupy Narva, Estonia, but remain static. NATO fails to invoke Article 5 due to a lack of consensus, especially after Washington washes its hands of the conflict, effectively ending the alliance. Germanicus argues NATO is an "empty shell," designed only for nuclear confrontation, not hybrid warfare or lesser contingencies. While Ukraine has made peace with not joining NATO, Russia accepts Ukraine pursuing EU membership for its necessary economic connection. Russia's goal in the Baltics is primarily the protection of ethnic Russians and access to the Baltic Sea. 1940

PREVIEW NATO Dilemma: Responding to Russian Aggression in Estonia (2028 Scenario) Jakub Grygiel Jakub Grygiel's book, If Russia Wins, explores a scenario years from now where Russia takes the city of Narva in Estonia after a frozen conflict in Ukraine. This action forces NATO to decide whether to invoke Article Five. Responding militarily is difficult because it would likely involve escalation, requiring NATO to strike logistical bases, missile installations, and airports within Russia proper.

1/2  HEADLINE: Scenario: Russia Attacks NATO Member Estonia; Europe's "Kantian Dreams" and Lack of Readiness Prevent Article 5 Response GUEST: Jakub Grygiel Jakub Grygiel analyzes the German book If Russia Wins, which outlines a scenario where Russia attacks NATO member Estonia around 2028 following a stalled conflict in Ukraine, capturing Narva and an island before halting its advance and creating confusion within NATO. Europeans, living in "Kantian dreams of eternal peace," prioritize a quick end to the conflict and fear escalation, and the scenario posits that the US President decides a World War III over a "tiny piece of land" is not worthwhile, leading Estonia to forego invoking NATO's Article 5 out of fear of alliance rejection. Grygielnotes that decades of demilitarization leave Europe unprepared for war, highlighting that US reinforcements could take 45 days to move and societies lack the political will to fund necessary rearmament.

SHOW 11-21-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT UKRAINE FIRST HOUR 9-915 HEADLINE: Las Vegas Shifts Focus with Formula 1 and Lower-End Tourism; California Politics Hit by Indictments GUEST: Jeff Bliss Jeff Bliss reports that the Formula 1 race on the Las Vegas city circuit is attracting major spectacle and high-end tourism, though the city is also attempting recovery by catering to lower-income demographics, evidenced by positive activity at the Excalibur Casino, while facing major competition from a new Indian casino near Bakersfield, California, operated by the Tahone tribe and twice the size of Caesars Palace. In California, Governor Gavin Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, and four others were indicted on 23 counts of fraud. Additionally, an investigation into the Palisades fire revealed that state workers ordered the LA Fire Department to back off a previously burned area that rekindled, allegedly to protect endangered plants. 915-930 HEADLINE: Industrial Policy and Tariffs Lack Coherence; Removal of Food Tariffs Implies Inflationary EffectGUEST: Veronique De Rugy Veronique De Rugy discusses US industrial policy, noting the trade deficit has increased despite tariffs, and the administration's decision to remove tariffs on food items—goods not produced domestically—is seen as an implicit admission that tariffs contribute to the "affordability crisis" because tariffs are a tax primarily borne by American consumers. The goals behind tariffs have shifted from fighting China to raising revenue, and the largest tariff exemption is for computer parts, indicating an understanding that tariffs could contradict other goals like energy abundance. De Rugyargues that US economic power stems from innovation and a willingness to invest, making industrial policy involving tariffs and seeking foreign investment largely unnecessary and potentially harmful. 930-945 HEADLINE: Mixed US Economic Signals: Strong GDP Contrasts Low Consumer Sentiment; AI Adoption Increases GUEST: Gene Marks Gene Marks discusses the US economy, noting that third-quarter GDP growth is estimated near 4%, contrasting sharply with record-low consumer sentiment in a "tale of two economies" where salaried workers receiving pay raises of 5–7% are outpacing 3% inflation and continuing to spend, while hourly workers struggle. Despite job growth in construction, leading indicators like the architectural billings index show contraction for 11 months. In technology, 88% of major companies are adopting artificial intelligence, though scaling remains limited, with AI already replacing low-level programmers and enhancing customer service. Agentic AI, capable of performing complex tasks, is predicted to impact fields like accounting and marketing by 2027–2028. However, Marks argues that most current major corporate layoffs stem from typical corporate bloat and mismanagement rather than AI, at least not yet. 945-10 SECOND HOUR 10-1015 HEADLINE: Lancaster County Economy Booms Despite Low Consumer Confidence; Local Entrepreneurs ThriveGUEST: Jim McTague Jim McTague reports that the economy in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, is strong, suggesting it mirrors the greater US economy despite reports of low consumer confidence, observing robust traffic at tourist destinations like Kitchen Kettle Village, a shopping locale established in 1954, with spending largely supported by well-off boomers. Local entrepreneurs are experiencing great success—a dealer selling eclectic electric lamps in Park City Mall is already earning $4,500 per week at the start of the holiday season, and high volume at Costco, where the Amish are major buyers, further indicates available disposable income. McTague concludes that the real economy on Main Street is strong and likely headed for a blockbuster Christmas season. 1015-1030 HEADLINE: Climate Change Threatens Iconic Italian Cheeses; Southern Drought Reduces Milk Production Quality GUEST: Lorenzo Fiori Lorenzo Fiori reports that climate change is threatening Italian food production, particularly cheese, due to drought and heat waves in the south, especially the Puglia region, where stressed cows are reducing milk production and impacting specialty cheeses like mozzarella and burrata. Milk cannot be shipped from the north because local water and hay are essential to the unique flavor of southern cheese. Fiori emphasizes that Italian food is a famous brand precisely because it belongs to its territory, criticizing pre-prepared sauces found in Brussels as inauthentic carbonara, which must be made fresh. In Milan, Christmas preparations are underway, with shop windows decorated festively and street lights scheduled to be switched on December 7th. 1030-1045 HEADLINE: Private Space Advances (Blue Origin, Rocket Lab) Challenge NASA SLS, EU Space Law CriticizedGUEST: Bob Zimmerman Bob Zimmerman reports that Blue Origin's New Glenn orbital rocket successfully completed its second launch, including landing the first stage and demonstrating reuse capability comparable to Falcon 9. New Glenn, larger than Falcon 9, is scheduled for upgrades with more powerful BE4 and BE3U engines, making it nearly comparable to NASA's costly and expendable SLS rocket. Rocket Lab set a new annual launch record with 15 successful orbital launches, surpassing Russia's frequency, and has conducted suborbital HASTE launches for military testing. India is upgrading its largest LVM rocket's upper stage for multiple restarts, essential for its space station and crewed missions. The US State Department opposes a proposed European Union space law seeking to impose EU regulations on companies from other nations, potentially discrediting the EU if passed. Finally, NASA has hired startup Catalyst to attempt a daring robotic rescue of the decaying Swift telescope. 1045-1100 THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: McFaul: Autocrats Are on the Rise; US Must Unite Allies and Attract Global Talent to CompeteGUEST: Michael McFaul Michael McFaul's book Autocrats Versus Democrats argues that Putinism is driven by anti-Western ideology, making Putin a risk-taker, and McFaul believes the US erred by lacking a robust response and failing to provide arms after the 2014 Crimea invasion, stressing that helping Ukraine win is essential to inspire Russian democrats. He asserts that the appeal of autocracy is growing globally and advises that the US must align democracies against autocrats while advocating for human rights, citing the need to support imprisoned publisher Jimmy Lai. Long-term strategy requires the US and its allies to unite, as they are collectively stronger economically and militarily than autocracies, and McFaulstrongly recommends attracting international talent by reversing restrictive immigration policies, calling it a great strength the US is currently losing. 1115-1130 1130-1145 1145-1200 FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 HEADLINE: US-Saudi Nuclear Deal Raises Proliferation Concerns; Military Micro-Reactors Retreat from Front Lines GUEST: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski states that Saudi Crown Prince MBS's goal is to obtain a bomb option, and while the new US-Saudi agreement does not include assistance with nuclear fuel production, a reactor still provides the necessary "cover" used by countries like Iran. MBS has made clear he will acquire a bomb if Iran does, regardless of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Sokolski also discusses the US military's Janus program for small reactors, initially conceived for vulnerable front-line bases but pushed back to remote areas like Alaska and the lower 48 due to concerns about drones and vulnerability. Finally, the US may be moving toward nuclear socialism—government ownership of commercial reactors, potentially funded by Japan—to encourage commercialization even without secured market contracts. 1215-1230 1230-1245 HEADLINE: Scenario: Russia Attacks NATO Member Estonia; Europe's "Kantian Dreams" and Lack of Readiness Prevent Article 5 Response GUEST: Jakub Grygiel Jakub Grygiel analyzes the German book If Russia Wins, which outlines a scenario where Russia attacks NATO member Estonia around 2028 following a stalled conflict in Ukraine, capturing Narva and an island before halting its advance and creating confusion within NATO.

How can we reclaim the internet? Tom Sutcliffe and guests discuss the digital age - its supporters and discontents. Tech critic Cory Doctorow introduces his new book Enshittification, a blistering diagnosis of how online platforms have decayed — from innovation to exploitation — and what we can do to make it better for ordinary users. Novelist and broadcaster Naomi Alderman draws on history in Don't Burn Anyone at the Stake Today, arguing that we've lived through information crises before, and that lessons from the invention of writing and the printing press can help us navigate today's digital turbulence. Journalist Oliver Moody, the author of Baltic: The Future of Europe, discusses Estonia's radical embrace of digital governance, and what it reveals about the possibilities — and limits — of a truly connected state.Producer: Katy Hickman Assistant Producer: Natalia Fernandez
