Premier tour ce week-end... et l'enjeu dépasse de loin les préoccupations de politique intérieure.  Le Premier ministre Donald Tusk et sa coalition pro-européenne espère bien mettre à ce siège stratégique leur candidat. ET mettre fin à une cohabitation avec un chef de l'État conservateur qui mine toutes les volontés de réforme. Mais c'est sur le terrain international que l'élection est suivie de près. La Pologne qui ambitionne de devenir la première armée européenne et qui a porté son budget défense à plus de 4% du PIB, forme aussi ses jeunes au maniement des armes.

Les ports européens, c'est elle, les 400 000 dockers travaillant dans ces ports européens, c'est elle aussi ! Lamia Kerdjoudj voue sa vie aux frontières maritimes du continent. À la tête de la Feport, la Fédération européenne des opérateurs portuaires privés, cette experte du monde économique et industriel représente près de 2 000 entreprises portuaires. Cette année, la Feport fête ses 30 ans. Sa dirigeante décrypte les enjeux des infrastructures portuaires en Europe.   RFI : Pour les 30 ans de la Feport (Fédération européenne des opérateurs portuaires privés), Lamia Kerdjoudj, vous tenez à contrer les mauvaises informations ! La première idée reçue : les Chinois achètent tous les ports d'Europe…   Lamia Kerdjoudj : C'est absolument faux ! Merci de me donner l'occasion de préciser les choses.   Mais tout de même, on pense au port du Pirée en Grèce, il appartient bien aux Chinois ?   C'est l'exception et la seule exception en Europe ! Depuis 2016, le groupe maritime chinois Cosco possède le port du Pirée. Il a en effet les droits pour les opérations industrielles privées. Il gère également tout ce qui relève d'ordinaire du domaine public (sécurité, surveillance…) géré par le gouvernement ou les autorités publiques.   Vous êtes d'ailleurs très sévère à l'encontre de l'Union européenne qui, dites-vous, aurait pu venir au secours de la Grèce dans cette opération. Oui ! Je le dis à titre personnel, cela n'engage que moi. Mais à l'époque, la Grèce était très endettée et elle a dû céder aux offres chinoises sans avoir d'autre choix que de céder le port et les infrastructures à 100%. Donc, de privatiser un port entièrement. À écouter aussiEn Grèce, le port du Pirée, porte d'entrée de la Chine en Europe On le souligne encore une fois, il s'agit du seul cas en Europe. Dans les autres ports européens où la Chine est présente, l'investissement est fragmenté et organisé sous forme de concessions surveillées.   Parfaitement. Le Groupe Cosco est présent en Belgique, en Espagne, dans des activités de terminaux portuaires. Mais il peut aussi être présent en Europe dans des opérations de transport logistique via ses activités d'armateur. China Merchants Port possède également des participations en Europe.   Donc, il ne faut pas être paranoïaque ? Il ne faut pas être paranoïaque, mais pas naïf ! Nous devons être prudents, car il n'y a pas que la Chine. D'autres opérateurs étrangers, que je représente aussi en tant que membres de Feport, sont présents en Europe. Aujourd'hui, je le répète, à l'exception du port du Pirée en Grèce, la surveillance et la sécurité portuaire relèvent du domaine public. Le gouvernement ou les autorités régionales en ont la charge.     Mais le port reste l'un des lieux les plus stratégiques. On peut tout de même penser qu'il s'agit là d'une entrée facile pour un pays étranger avec de mauvaises intentions ? Mais oui, vous avez raison. C'est pour cela que je me suis battue pour améliorer les choses. Si un État membre constate des infractions ou des activités néfastes pour la défense et l'intégrité du pays, cet État membre est en mesure d'arrêter le contrat. J'invite donc tous les pays européens à se joindre au règlement existant pour ne pas avoir de « trous dans la raquette », comme on dit.   La compétitivité des ports est internationale, elle est aussi régionale. Pourquoi les ports français sont-ils aussi peu compétitifs ? Vis-à-vis des voisins européens, Pays-Bas, Belgique, Allemagne, Luxembourg… ?  Le sujet est épineux, je ne voudrais froisser personne, mais je pense qu'il s'agit d'un savoir-faire dans la gouvernance des ports. Les Belges, par exemple, ont une excellente façon de gérer leurs ports en alliant le secteur public et privé dans tous les types de décisions concernant leurs ports.  C'est-à-dire ? C'est-à-dire qu'ils décident ensemble, le tissu maritime est lié au tissu industriel. Leurs alliances permettent de discuter des constructions à long et moyen terme. Je pense aux routes qui rejoignent les grandes villes, je pense aux voies ferrées, aux aménagements des fleuves qui vont jusqu'aux ports. Le mot de la fin ? Sans penser le port à l'échelle du territoire ou du continent, on n'arrive à rien. Un port doit se relier et lier entre elles toutes les routes possibles pour transporter le plus de choses possibles, aussi loin que possible, y compris dans les zones reculées de campagne. Les ports les plus compétitifs sont les ports qui savent faire cela. À Tanger, au Maroc, le port Tanger Med en est l'exemple le plus frappant. 

If you're like me and you lament the decline in the quality of popular music since the days when you were a teenager, there's actually some new research indicating that your lament is not simply based on your personal listening preferences. Rather, there has been a change in popular music that's not something we should be celebrating. Europeon researchers recently took on the task of analyzing the words in more than twelve thousand English language songs from the years 1980 to 2020, all from a variety of genres including pop, R and B, country, rap and rock. What did they discover? Not only are songs becoming simpler and more repetitive in their construction, but there has been a decrease in positive messages, and an increase in lyrics that are self-centered, angry, and sad. Here at CPYU we say that music is both a map and a mirror. As a mirror, it tells us what's happening in the lives of our kids. As a map, it tells them how to live. Once again, we learn that our kids need the hope of the Gospel.

We are back for week 120 and it's the go home show for WCW and the mega showdown at Starrcade between Sting and Hogan for the title. WCW has Macho Man vs. Lex Luger in the main event and WWF counters with a surprise HBK vs. HHH match for the Europeon title! Watch it with us!

In this podcast, I discuss European lockdowns as an example of mass formation and a rise to totalitarianism. In what ungodly universe do people condemn other people to die from treatable medical conditions or bar them from buying food "in order to save lives"? If for no other reason than to limit the devaluation and destruction of life that is guaranteed to occur in any totalitarian system, we must never, ever become silent. What they're doing is wrong, and it must be stopped.

We delve into to history of the Eurovision song contest for this weeks quiz. A pop quiz that looks at the low key political bitching contest disguised as a musical event originally designed to unite us all under the banner of crappy pop song.

Alexandre Rolando de la Société Générale Private Banking dévoile le contenu sur la close en équilibre des marchés développés. Ce qu'il faut retenir : - Le secteur bancaire représente la plus forte hausse de la semaine passée avec une performance proche de 6% en Europe - On retrouve des résultats positifs de certains établissements comme Deutsche Bank (l'une des plus importantes banques universelles au monde) ou Banco Santander, ou encore en Allemagne ainsi qu'aux Etats-Unis qui remontent environ de 6 points - Le secteur automobile accuse le coup et représente la plus forte baisse avec une performance en retrait de 3% sur la semaine à l'issue de la pénurie des semi-conducteurs. C'est un point qui a été relevé par le groupe américain Ford - Le constructeur automobile de la marque Ford s'attend désormais à perdre la moitié de sa production avec un second trimestre moins concluant que le premier trimestre. Cette raison s'explique par un impact de la pénurie plus forte que prévu -  L'estimation de cet ordre de grandeur sur l'année complète devrait représenter plus d'un million de véhicules

This is the beginning of a new subproject of the Gaslight Hour where Dexter De Le Paz will cover current events in a weekly format. We will probably eventually paywall at least some of these, if we ever get that working. In this episode, Dex discuses the recent protests in Russia and Bulgaria with @Lispegistus from twitter. The discussion covers the protests, Nalvany, Putin's alleged mansion, and broader topics of eastern Europeon civic society.

We take the wider European view this week, catching up with the latest developments in Italy and France. A year on from the Italian elections, who is up and who is down in the coalition between the League and Five Star? What is China up to in Italy? Has Macron really got his mojo back? Plus we ask the big question: between chaos at Westminster, riots in Paris and rabble-rousing in Rome, whose democracy is in the biggest trouble? With Lucia Rubinelli and Chris Bickerton.Talking Points:What’s going on in Italian politics?In regional elections, the Five Star’s votes collapsed. The PD, the centre-left party, now has a new leader, but at the time of the regional elections it was in transition and still beat Five Star.The League has doubled its share of votes to 33-34%. The new leader of the PD got elected on a platform that would bring the party further to the left. But the Renzi faction is still quite powerful.What about France?There is something taking place in France that the national conversations don’t seem to have addressed.France has been through a lot of turmoil during the Macron presidency. Yet the polling is remarkably unchanged. It’s a very divided electorate, but it’s divided in basically the same ways as it was a few years ago.The gilets jaunes protest is targeted at Macron and the emblems of the state. Stepping back: In Italy, the anti-establishment parties are in power; in France, the centrist government is now facing radical street protests; and in Britain, you have Brexit. Which of these is the dominant crisis for this period in European politics?Brexit is a peculiarly institutional crisis. It’s not that it isn’t important, but in France, there is a more self-evidently class-war element. The Italian case is substantially different than both: it’s not an institutional crisis, at least for now. And unlike France, there isn’t opposition to what the government is doing—in fact, there’s a lot of support. In Italy, the main divide isn’t education or age, but region: it’s North vs. South.Mentioned in this Episode:Adam Tooze on EuropeRoberto Saviano on ItalyFurther Learning:Italy vs. EuropeOn the PD’s new leaderWhat is China up to in Southern Europe?And as ever, recommended reading curated by our friends at the LRB can be found here: lrb.co.uk/talking See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I’m Theo Mayer - the Chief Technologist for the Commission and your host. Welcome to the show. [MUSIC] Preface This week several stories came up that pointed to US Army Signal Corps. You know.. they’re not just the guys who made the movies and took the pictures…   Actually they have a heritage of being “New Tech” gurus  - taking initial responsibility for classic ideas, later managed by other organizations including military intelligence, weather forecasting and especially aviation. That because it all started with a visionary guy named Albert James Myer. Myer started as a Medical Officer in Texas before the civil war and ended up a brigadier general with the title of First Chief Signal Officer and a legacy as “The father of the US Army Signal Corps” Early on - Myer came up with a flag waving scheme to send messages during combat - which the Army adopted it in 1860 - one year before the start of the Civil War. It’s high falutin’ name was Aerial Telegraphy but, everyone called it WIG WAG. During the Civil War, WigWag was used on the battlefield to direct artillery fire-- and Myer started to experiment with balloons, electric telegraph and other kinds of new tech. Because he fostered such an innovation culture in the signal corps - ten years late, In 1870 when the US government AKA the congress decided to  mandate a National Weather Service - they tasked Myer and the Signal Corps to create it - which he did to great international acclaim. Myer died a decade later in 1880, and his lab “slash” school in Arlington Virginia was ultimately renamed Fort Myer to honor the father of the US Signal Corps. By the turn of the century the US Army Signal Corps had taken on a leadership role not just with visual signalling but also with the telegraph, telephone, cable communications, meteorology, combat photography and had even sprouted an aeronautical and aviation section. Nearly a decade before American Forces engaged the enemy, the wright brothers made test flights of the army’s first airplane built to Signal Corps’ specifications. Tests appropriately performed at Fort Myers. Army aviation stayed with the Signal Corps until May of 1918, when the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps is transformed by President Wilson’s  Executive order, into the Army Air Service - the forerunner of the United States Air Force. With that as a setup, let’s jump into our Centennial Time Machine - which the Signal Corps DID NOT develop - and roll back 100 years to learn what the US Army Signal Corps was - during the War that Changed the World! World War One THEN 100 Year Ago This Week [MUSIC TRANSITION] We are back in 1918 and we are going to focus on two of the key things the Signal Corps does during WW1. Communication and Documentation --- and always with an eye on innovation. Because with battles and offensives no longer organize neatly into line-of-sight groups, innovations is required to communicate and coordinate. The field telephone is one of those basic elements… The challenge of wired electric connections between two telephone devices is that you need the wire… which tends to get blown up, trampled, cut, damaged and sometimes tapped into by the enemy in the field. And because, the telephone in 1918 is a point-to-point connection… that means that, in order to re-connect a field telephone from one place to another - you need to physically repatch the connection - a function performed by a telephone operator. The “Hello Girls” who go to France to do that job, are sworn into the US Army Signal Corps as soldiers… yup… but then at the end of the war, they are just let go -- and not given honorable discharges and so don’t qualify for veteran benefits! We have a whole section for you with Dr. Elizabeth Cobbs - the author of the book “The Hello Girls” later in the show...---- OK --- Then there is WIRELESS communication. The Signal corps teams up with private industry to advance radio transmission and reception and create new devices that are smaller, more practical and more capable. Of course the challenge with radio communications is that everyone can receive it… creating a serious security challenge and a great intelligence opportunity - both of which the Signal Corps addresses. So when the United States enters the war in early 1917, its own capacity for radio intelligence is significantly underdeveloped. But, with the help of their British and French allies, and the dedicated work of over 500 men, the Signal Corps’ Radio Section collects huge amounts of radio and other communications traffic to help the American Expeditionary Forces stay one step ahead of their enemy. This area of activity is known as Signt or Signal Intelligence. One battle in which victory is particularly credited to the work of the Radio Section is the Battle of Saint-Mihiel in September 1918, as American operators are able to discover the location of several German command posts, and warn the Army of a German counteroffensive several hours in advance. But not everything signal corps is tech! They also take 600 carrier pigeons to France including a pigeon named Cher Ami (dear friend) who is credited with a stallworth, heroic,  wounded delivery of a message credited for saving 194 US Soldiers of the 77th Infantry Division - the famed Lost Battalion. Then there is the Documentation roll of the US Army Signal Corps! According to an article by Audrey Amidon: The Signal Corps pays relatively little attention to photography until July 1917 when they are assigned the responsibility for obtaining photographic coverage of American participation in World War I. That means both moving and still imagery. The purpose is for propaganda, scientific, identification, and military reconnaissance purposes but primarily for the production of a pictorial history of the war. The Photographic Section of the Signal Corps manages to build up quite a large and efficient organization. Beginning with 25 men in August 1917, the Photographic Section attached to the AEF reaches a strength of 92 officers and 498 men by November 1918 They defined a photographic unit as one motion-picture cameraman and one still-picture photographer, plus  assistants. So they are capturing stills and motion pictures simultaneously at each location. Each Division (remember from last week is a force of around 40,000 American soldiers) gets a photographic unit. They also hace units that cover headquarters, sea transport, service and supply, red cross and so forth. Between the AEF footage, domestic training documentation and special projects including training films for soldier and pilots, the US Army  Signal Corps shoots nearly 1 million feet of movie film to document the war that changed the world!

And as we have told you before, the Commission re-publishes each issue of the Official Bulletin on the Centennial of its original publication date - a great primary source of information about WWI you are invited to enjoy at ww1cc.org/bulletin. We selected two articles from this week’s issues that illustrate the Signal Corp’s roll in the War in the Sky - the first article is about seeing the foundation of a new US Aerospace industry forming. [sound effect] Dateline: March 5, 1918 The article headline reads: 10,000 SKILLED MEN NEEDED BY THE AVIATION SECTION The article goes on to read: The US Army Signal Corps has authorized the call for 10,000 machinists, mechanics, and other skilled workers needed by the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps. Even though the strength of that service is already 100 times what it was in April of last year, it is now understood that nearly 98 of every 100 men in the service need to be highly skilled. Airplane work has been wholly new and unfamiliar to American Mechanics. It has been necessary for both officers and men to learn very largely by experience. The article continues with with a comment by War secretary Baker about keeping those planes flying in the field: The great problem now remaining is to secure the thousands of skilled mechanics, engine men, motor repair men, wood and metal workers needed to keep the planes always in perfect condition. This great engineering and mechanical force at the airdomes, flying fields, and repair depots, both here and behind the lines in France, is a vital industrial link in the chain of air supremacy. The next day, an article illustrates the foundation of the modern cartography a technology we now all enjoy casually and daily with applications like Google Maps: [Sound Effect] Dateline: March 5, 1918 The article headline reads: 1,000 Trained Photographers Wanted at Once for Signal Corps Aeroplane -and Ground Duty And the article reads: One thousand men trained in photographic work are needed by the Signal Corps before March 10 As an aside - that is only 5 days after this article publishes - it goes on with: These men are to be instructed at the new school for aerial photography just opened at Rochester, N. Y., preparatory to going overseas. This ground force for America's aerial photography requires three types of men: Laboratory and dark room experts, especially fast news photographers, familiar with developing, printing, enlarging, retouching, and finishing panchromatic photography, men who can take a plate from the airmen and hand over, ten minutes later, a finished enlargement to the staff officers. These men will work in motor lorries as close to the front and staff as possible. Men able to keep the whole delicate equipment in good condition, such as camera and optical constructions plus repairmen, lens experts, cabinet makers, instrument makers, and so forth... Men to fit the finished prints into their proper places in the photographic reproduction of the German front --- to work out the information disclosed, and to keep the whole map a living hour-to-hour story of what the Germans are doing.s Many men not physically fit for line service are eligible for this so-called limited military service, as defective vision corrected by glasses and other minor physical disabilities' are waived. Owing to the shortness of time it is requested that only men fully qualified apply for this service. That is a great closing line, as this article was published on May 5th, and they want 1,000 men by May 10 as the army Signal Corps plays out its role in the War in the Sky one hundred years ago this week! America Emerges: Military Stories from WW1 For the war on the ground, here is this week’s segment of America Emerges: Military Stories from WWI with Dr. Edward Lengel. Ed: This week your story is about one of the best known soldier heroes of WWI - and his very profound crisis of conscience in entering his military service.. Who was he and what is his story? [ED LENGEL] [Thank you Ed. Before we close - I want to ask you something that struck me in hearing this account. When Alvin York asked his Captain and his battalion commander  “I wish you would tell me what this war is about,” I know we have no record of that they actually said - but as a historian - how might these military commander have responded? What was the common wisdom and answer to that question at the time?] [Ed, what will you be telling us about next week?] Dr. Edward Lengel is an American military historian, author, and our segment host for America Emerges: Military Stories from WWI.

Mike, your post this week is about the pre “spring offensive” actions in Europe - On the front and reaching into Allied capitals - It really feels like there is an undercurrent of desperation - and to me - desperation on all side - is that a theme here?

Putting men in uniform was not just a conceptual statement but a literal one! Underwear, socks, shoes, belts, and uniforms for millions were needed NOW! This week 100 years ago on March 6th in the pages of the Official Bulletin - and apparently after accusations of problems, the government seeks to reassure the country, that Army Uniforms are made with the absolute best materials and did not overuse... QUOTE “shoddy” --- Our speaking WW1 word this week. Shoddy may have originally derived from a mining term “Shoad” meaning scraps,  the article goes on to define what the government means by “shoddy” -- This indicates to us that it was not a term commonly used in 1918 - but it is today “shoddy” is simply reworked wool remnants and clippings worked into fiber of the virgin wool, you know - like stretching the ground sirloin with some bread crumbs! The use of shoddy, or reworked wool, was urged by the government’s wool experts as a helpful, partial solution for the huge wool shortage - but it had to be added sparingly. Shoddy was also used in military uniforms during the the Civil War but apparently overused. There are stories of soldiers’ clothes falling to pieces after just a few days’ wear, or even in a heavy rain giving those uniforms a really bad reputation and re-defining the word “Shoddy” not as wool clipping but a description of something poorly made.   Luckily, the shoddy laden wool in WW1 uniforms were not as shoddy as the shoddy uniforms of the Civil War-- they did hold up in the rain and mud of the trenches. No shame in that Shoddy-- our word for this week’s Speaking WW1.

Long Lost Diary This week, we shared an article on Facebook from Longmont, Colorado, where a local man named Paul Hansen discovered a long forgotten world war one era diary. The diary belonged to Hansen’s father, who left it, along with a few other mementos of his service in the war, in his army issued footlocker, left to collect dust in the family barn. Hansen inherited the box from his father, opening it and rediscovering the life his father had lived as a soldier in the war. In it he found his father’s diary, as well as his Victory Medal and love letters between his father and his girlfriend, who died from influenza before he returned home from the battlefield. Hansen has taken all of these items -- and the very detailed diary -- and brought them into a book, “Soldier of the Great War: My Father’s Diary”. The story of this man and his very personal discovery of his father’s service -- it’s a reminder that, though the war is a hundred years passed, so many stories of the war are yet to be discovered and told.

Rats are slowly taking over Copenhagen! Another Tuesday episode is out in the wild. This time we devote a significant amount of time to rodents, and DF and their recent propositions. Did you know Denmark has one of the worst asylum approval rates in Europe? On a brighter note, the Iron Throne is visiting Copenhagen. Yeah that's as bright as it gets in terms of news. But we made sure to sprinkly some joyful banter in between. Don't miss it!

Poland is in the midst of a democratic backslide. The country's politics is dominated by the far right Law and Justice Party, which has embarked on a series of moves to curb the independence of the judiciary and free press. This has put Poland on a collision course with the European Union, of which it is a member. It has also earned the government the praise and support of Donald Trump--indeed Trump visited Poland this summer and delivered a rabble rousing speech appealing directly to right wing elements in Polish politics. So how did we get here? And how threatened is liberal democracy in the heart of Europe? On the line with me to discuss the situation in Poland and why what happens in Poland matters to the rest of the world is Konsanty Gebert    Konstanty Gebert is an Associate Fellow at the European Council for Foreign Relations and an international reporter and columnist at Gazeta Wyborcza, Poland’s largest daily publication.  He was also a speaker at the Humanity in Action International Conference in Berlin this year.    If you have 20 minutes and want to learn why democracy in Poland is under threat right now, have a listen.    Become a premium subscriber to unlock bonus episodes, earn other rewards, and support the show! 

When it comes to dispensing wisdom and knowledge about TRT, the average doctor is clueless. What is the state of TRT across the world? How can people gain access to knowledgeable doctors and the best treatment products in Europe? On this episode Daniel Kelly shares his experience of getting TRT in the UK, the questions you should ask doctors, and the best TRT products in his experience. Most progressive socialized medical systems do not support men on testosterone. -Jay Campbell Three Takeaways Transdermals, gels and creams are inconvenient. They create an uneven release pattern in the bloodstream and cause spikes. When you inject TRT, your goal should be to mimic the frequency of your body’s pituitary gland secretion - it has to be stable.   If you’re injecting TRT at the wrong frequency, you’re actually going to end up worse off than when you started. At the start of the show, we discussed the state of TRT services in other parts of the world, and how the biggest issue is the lack of knowledge on the part of doctors and the medical industry in general. Next we shared on how to find the right doctor. “If you want to save yourself time, money and energy go to a private doctor who knows what he’s doing.” We also discussed TRT delivery systems and how to get the most stable release pattern. Towards the end of the show, we talked about the different products as well as a recent article about the low-testosterone epidemic. We also discussed: How low testosterone is leading to the destruction of masculinity Treatment options for people in the UK Questions you should be asking doctors Why the US is a TRT friendly market Your health is worth more than any money you could have, and TRT is a worthy path to take. It has the ability to completely transform your health and quality of life. There’s no shortcut to educating yourself, so the first step is arming yourself with knowledge about the treatment and then working with a competitive, progressive physician who knows what they’re talking about. The reason you want testosterone in the first place is to feel good, so it’s also necessary to inject it right. In this day and age, men are facing an unprecedented attack on their testosterone levels. TRT is at the front line of overcoming the epidemic. Guest Bio Daniel is a contributor on trtrevolution.com.
