//The Wire//2300Z December 30, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: SAUDI ARABIA BOMBS EMIRATI WEAPONS SHIPMENT IN YEMEN. RAIL DELAYS SPREAD AROUND EUROPE AFTER INCIDENT IN CHANNEL TUNNEL. CROWBAR ATTACK REPORTED AT BRITISH HOSPITAL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Yemen: Overnight tensions escalated sharply between several nations as the conflict in Yemen threatens to become more serious. Colonel Turki Al-Malki, the Saudi Air Force Colonel that serves as the spokesman for the Saudi mission to Yemen stated that two vessels departed the UAE without permission this morning, and sailed without turning their AIS transponders on before arriving in Yemen. Onboard these vessels were weapons and armored vehicles that the UAE was allegedly trying to smuggle to the Southern Transitional Council (STC), a faction that threatens the Saudi border.As a result, Saudi Arabia conducted a few airstrikes within the Yemeni port of Mukalla, targeting the combat vehicles to be used by the STC. After the strikes, Saudi Arabia also called for the UAE to leave Yemen entirely. A few hours after this morning's scuffle, the UAE announced a cessation of their already-reduced mission in Yemen, and are withdrawing all public support for the STC, per Saudi demands.United Kingdom: This morning an Afghan migrant was arrested for conducting an attack at the Newton-Le-Willows Hospital in Merseyside, a small village halfway between Liverpool and Manchester. The attack began after the man was denied an appointment after entering the lobby with a crowbar in hand. After being told there were no appointments, the man began attacking staff with the crowbar. 5x people were wounded during the attack.Europe: This morning a "major disruption" was reported in the Channel Tunnel, halting train services between London and Paris. The cause of the disruption was two-fold, resulting from several power lines being downed in one tunnel, and a train stuck in the other tunnel, blocking service both ways under the English Channel.Analyst Comment: This sounds like it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but due to the importance of this one tunnel (and the nature of rail logistics), passenger train services were halted from Amsterdam to Paris, all during one of the most heavily-trafficked travels season of the year. Delays have been reported all day, and EuroStar has recommended travelers to avoid trains which use cross-Channel routes until repairs are made.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The situation in Yemen has always been a tangled web of factions, and thing's aren't as simple as "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". This latest development is no different, and throughout the day the statements from all parties reflect more of the plot of a soap opera than traditional diplomacy.The STC is a separatist movement in Yemen that is opposing the Houthi's, but also opposing the Saudis. The Saudis know that if the STC were to win the Civil War in Yemen and actually dominate the Houthis, the STC would probably sidestep the formal Yemeni government and succeed in their goal of creating a new state (what they call South Arabia), which the STC has been working toward for some time. The UAE provides materiel support to the STC for several reasons. For one, the UAE and the Saudis have bad-blood between them on cultural grounds, but both the Emirates and the Saudi royal family also don't want the Houthi's to control most of Yemen, thus the reason for both nations teaming up to form the security coalition in Yemen.However, the Saudis also don't want the Houthi's adversaries (the STC) to get too much control either...which the UAE *does* want so as to apply pressure to the Saudis because the UAE and Yemen don't share a land border, so they don't care.In short, the Saudis and Emirates don't actually like each other, but work together to control the dozens of

Een grote stroomstoring heeft het treinverkeer in de kanaaltunnel tussen Londen en Frankrijk volledig stilgelegd. Volgens Getlink kunnen treinen geleidelijk weer gaan rijden, maar Eurostar waarschuwt dat het langer gaat duren om het volledige schema tussen Amsterdam, Brussel, Londen en Parijs te herstellen. Duizenden reizigers zijn getroffen door de uitval, waarbij alle Eurostar-treinen vandaag geannuleerd zijn en alternatieven beperkt zijn. Europese leiders komen volgende week in Parijs bijeen om veiligheidsgaranties voor Oekraïne te bespreken. Volgens politiek verslaggever Michal van der Toorn is nog niet bekend wie er fysiek aanwezig zijn, maar het overleg staat in het teken van Europese verantwoordelijkheid nu de VS en Oekraïne onderhandelen en Rusland dreigende taal uit. De Poolse premier Tusk suggereert dat er hoop is op vrede, maar een duurzame oplossing lijkt voorlopig ver weg. De champagneverkoop blijft dalen en ook investeringen in de sector lopen terug. Sectoreconoom François Sonneville van Rabobank noemt hogere Amerikaanse tarieven, veranderende consumententrends en medische ontwikkelingen als oorzaken. Champagne is vaker vervangen door alternatieven als cava en prosecco, waardoor ook beursgenoteerde champagnehuizen een lagere aandelenkoers laten zien.

Longtemps cantonnée à son rôle d'opérateur ferroviaire national, la compagnie italienne Trenitalia a changé de dimension. Forte d'un plan d'investissement massif et déjà bien implantée en France, elle affiche désormais une ambition claire : devenir un acteur central du rail européen à grande vitesse. Si Trenitalia attire aujourd'hui l'attention, c'est d'abord par l'ampleur de ses moyens. La compagnie ferroviaire italienne prévoit un plan d'investissement de 100 milliards d'euros d'ici à 2030, un montant qui doit même doubler à l'horizon 2040. Une enveloppe spectaculaire, destinée en priorité à la modernisation du réseau italien, mais qui poursuit aussi un objectif plus large : préparer l'expansion européenne du groupe. Les dirigeants de Trenitalia ne s'en cachent d'ailleurs pas. Ils répètent régulièrement qu'ils considèrent désormais l'Europe comme leur marché intérieur. Derrière cette déclaration se dessine un projet ambitieux : la construction d'un « métro européen à grande vitesse », avec des trains rouges vifs ornés du drapeau italien, appelés à circuler à travers tout le continent. Plusieurs liaisons emblématiques ont déjà été annoncées comme Rome–Munich ou Milan–Munich. Mais le projet le plus symbolique reste celui d'un Paris–Londres, en concurrence directe avec Eurostar, envisagé à l'horizon 2030. À lire aussiTrain à grande vitesse: l'Europe met 500 milliards sur la table pour relier toutes ses capitales d'ici 2040 La France, vitrine et terrain d'essai grandeur nature de la stratégie Trenitalia Cette ambition européenne n'est pas théorique. Des trains italiens circulent déjà en France entre Paris, Lyon et Marseille depuis maintenant quatre ans. C'est même dans l'Hexagone que la stratégie européenne de Trenitalia est la plus visible. Son arrivée a eu des effets immédiats sur le marché : baisse des prix pouvant atteindre 30 %, augmentation des fréquences et pour l'opérateur historique SNCF, une obligation de réajuster son modèle, ses services et son offre sur ces axes très fréquentés. Pour autant, cette implantation a un coût. Trenitalia perd de l'argent en France avec près de 150 millions d'euros de pertes cumulées depuis son arrivée. La raison est simple : faire rouler des trains dans l'Hexagone est particulièrement cher, notamment en raison des péages ferroviaires payés à l'opérateur d'infrastructure. La direction assume pleinement cette situation. La rentabilité n'est pas attendue avant plusieurs années. L'objectif est clair : s'installer durablement sur le marché, quitte à accepter des pertes à court terme. La logique est celle d'un investissement de long terme. À lire aussiLa compagnie italienne Trenitalia lance son offre sur la ligne Paris-Marseille pour concurrencer la SNCF Frecciarossa, entre coopération, compétition et pari européen L'image de cet investissement, c'est le Frecciarossa, le TGV italien reconnaissable à sa livrée rouge, dont le nom signifie « flèche rouge ». Ce train de nouvelle génération a été conçu pour circuler sur plusieurs réseaux européens, un avantage stratégique majeur. Car en Europe, chaque pays dispose de ses propres normes techniques et systèmes de signalisation. Pouvoir franchir les frontières sans changer de train ni d'équipage permet de réduire les coûts, de simplifier l'exploitation et d'accélérer l'expansion internationale. Sur le papier, la stratégie est solide. Mais à l'échelle européenne, Trenitalia ne peut pas avancer seule. Faire circuler ses trains dans d'autres pays revient à concurrencer directement les opérateurs nationaux en place. La réponse tient en un mot : la « coopétition ». Ce mot-valise, contraction de coopération et compétition, résume la philosophie du groupe : coopérer avec les autres opérateurs pour harmoniser les normes et partager certaines infrastructures, tout en restant concurrents sur les prix et les services. Cette approche s'inscrit pleinement dans le grand projet de la Commission européenne, qui ambitionne de relier toutes les capitales du continent d'ici à 2040 grâce à un vaste réseau ferroviaire à grande vitesse. Un projet que Trenitalia semble avoir anticipé et sur lequel la compagnie italienne paraît déjà avoir un train d'avance. À lire aussiQuel avenir pour le train à grande vitesse en Afrique?

Belgium entered its second day of a coordinated, three-day strike on Tuesday, as unions protest against the government's sweeping austerity plans. The action began yesterday, when trains and public transport walked off the job. The national rail operator managed to run only one or two out of three trains, while several Eurostar services between Brussels and Paris were cancelled. Today, schools, crèches, hospitals, and other public services are joining the strike, making daily life across the country difficult. And tomorrow is expected to be the most disruptive day of all with a full general strike that will shut down nearly everything, including Belgium's two largest airports, Brussels-Zaventem and Charleroi, where all departing flights have already been cancelled.But is this the start of a political storm for the De Wever government?Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.Production: By Europod, in co production with Sphera Network.Follow us on:LinkedInInstagram Hosted on Acast.

Join us for a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at building the perfect voiceover home studio recording booth with the multi-talented Emily Jardine! We also catch up with Annette Rizzo from Equity's Audio Committee to find out what Equity have been up to lately.When Emily moved house, she didn't just replicate her old booth setup. Instead, she embarked on a carefully planned journey to create her dream recording space. In this episode, we dive deep into every aspect of that process, from the initial planning stages through to the finished studio.We explore why Emily decided to start from scratch rather than recreating what she already had, when she started thinking about the new booth, and the step-by-step process of bringing her booth to life. Emily generously shares the investmentinvolved (yes, actual figures!), what she's learned along the way, and what she'd do differently if she were to do it all over again. Whether you're considering building your first home studio, upgrading your current setup, or just curious about what goes into creating a professional recording space, Emily's experience offers invaluable insights. She's refreshingly honestabout the challenges, costs, and unexpected discoveries that came with the project.About Emily JardineEmily is best known to many as a coach and casting director, but did you know she's primarily a voice artist? With thousands of credits under her belt in the last 14 years, you can't switch on the TV, radio, go online or play a game these days without hearing her somewhere. Her family have becomethoroughly bored with the sound of her voice and now refer to her as 'background noise'.Emily is represented by 45 agents around the world and has production clients spanning 26 countries. Voiceover is her first love and she's thrilled she gets to spend most of her working day in the studio. Some clients include Danone, Bentley,Pantene, WhatsApp, Eurostar, Mr Muscle, University of Cambridge and LEGO.She was nominated for Female VO of the Year in 2023, 2024 and 2025, and in 2022 she won the One Voice Inspiration Award.· Meet Elizabooth here - https://www.instagram.com/p/DNoxV1bv-QE/· Website - https://emilyjardinevoiceovers.co.uk/· Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/emily__jardine/· LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-charlotte-jardine-award-winning-english-voice-artist-and-singer-1317303b/
