International Arrivals speaks with transdisciplinary artist Gita Hashemi (Iran/Canada) (gitaha.net) about her project Grounding: States of Gender, which explores identity, language, and personal narrative. This embodied performative writing project transcribes stories of her friend Zahra through calligraphic writing in black and red painted onto giant scrolls. Unlike Hashemi, who left Iran after the 1979 revolution, Zahra remained. Hashemi discusses womanhood, activism, the significance of using Farsi in the artwork, the challenges of addressing sensitive topics, and the idea of transmission. Reflecting on the current protests in Iran, and the continued significance of this project, Hashemi emphasises the need for international support and solidarity for Iranian freedom and self-determination.  * This podcast was recorded early in 2026, prior to the US and Israel launching airstrikes in Iran.  Photo by Justin Wonnacott

When American bombs dropped on Iran, a mysterious shortwave radio station began broadcasting a list of numbers in Farsi across the globe. Reminiscent of Cold War spy communications, the broadcast raises serious questions: Where is the broadcast coming from, and who is listening to it? Is Iran sending messages to terrorist sleeper cells in the United States? And how is the Trump administration addressing these concerns, if at all?  Today on Lever Time, David Sirota sits down with Shane Harris from The Atlantic to get some answers.  For a transcript of this episode, click here.

On this Tuesday episode, Dylan is joined by Golnesa & Tanin from The Valley: Persian Style for a finale-time catch up that feels like the group is truly back. They talk why this cast dynamic feels more authentic than what we've seen before, the Persian culture and Farsi moments that make the show hit different, and why calling Mercedeh “Mercedeh” actually matters. They also get into MJ and Tommy's marriage turmoil, why Golnesa's relationship with Dennis is “hot and cold”, hiring people according to their astrological sign. Plus, Golnesa and Tanin break down the Skye spiral, the “beneath me” energy, and why some people really need to read the room.

Trump's DOJ purge has removed approximately 300 FBI agents, most of them counterterrorism and counter espionage specialists, since the start of the second term. Cash Patel fired 45 of them directly, while thousands more have left the broader DOJ, gutting decades of institutional knowledge and expertise. Former FBI agent and national security contributor Christopher Olirri calls it an "institutional decapitation," warning the country is now dangerously exposed to sophisticated foreign adversaries. The timing could not be worse. Iranian state radio recently broadcast a series of random numbers in Farsi, believed by counterterrorism officials to be coded messaging to activate sleeper cells worldwide. A joint DHS, FBI and counterterrorism memo warning state and local law enforcement about heightened terrorist threats tied to the Iran conflict was blocked from distribution by the White House at the last minute. That five-page bulletin contained specific guidance for spotting and stopping attacks against American civilians. Hawk also covers the ISIS-inspired bombing attempt at Gracie Mansion in New York City, where two men lobbed incendiary devices that failed to detonate at an anti-Muslim protest organized by Jake Lang, who has since been exposed for attempting to contact who he believed was a 15-year-old girl. Lang is a prominent Trump and ICE supporter. The FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors who were fired were not volunteers on Trump-related cases. They were assigned by superiors. The retribution purge targeting anyone connected to the January 6th investigation, the Mueller probe, the Mar-a-Lago documents case, or Jack Smith's work has left national security dangerously undermanned.

47 years. That is how long the U.S. and Iran have been circling each other, probing for weaknesses, and demonizing the other (in many cases for good reason). Tensions reached a tipping point on February 28, 2026 and the United States, along with Israel, initiated a new wave of strikes which has lead to chaos across the Middle East. 11 countries have been targeted by retaliatory strikes from Iran and the death toll on all sides continues to rise. How did we get here? Why was now the time to act? Where does it all end and what decisions will shape the final outcome of this latest use of military force? In this month's episode, we speak with Alex Vatanka, Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute, where he focuses on Iran. We review the terse relationship between these two countries since the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and outline the litany of moments that have shaped the course of history. In addition, the conversation outlines how this war got started and what shape it has taken in the early days, providing key insights into possible outcomes. While much is left to be written in this story, the key moments have been set in motion. Listen to gain critical insights into this fast moving and ever changing conflict that will reverberate across the world for years to come.(Please note: This episode was recorded on February 27, one day before U.S. and Israeli airstrikes started. We have tried to capture the latest updates to the fighting, but understand this conflict has shifted rapidly in the first few days).Alex Vatanka is a Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute. He specializes in Middle Eastern regional security affairs with a particular focus on Iran. He was formerly a Senior Analyst at Jane's Information Group in London. Alex is also a Senior Fellow in Middle East Studies at the US Air Force Special Operations School (USAFSOS) at Hurlburt Field and teaches as an Adjunct Professor at DISAS at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. He has testified before the US Congress and lectured widely for both governmental and commercial audiences, including the US Departments of State and Defense, US intelligence agencies, and a list of international corporations.Born in Tehran, he holds a BA in Political Science (Sheffield University, UK), and an MA in International Relations (Essex University, UK), and is fluent in Farsi and Danish. He is the author of two books: The Battle of the Ayatollahs in Iran: The United States, Foreign Policy and Political Rivalry Since 1979 (2021) and Iran and Pakistan: Security, Diplomacy, and American Influence (2015).He has also written chapters for a number of books, including Authoritarianism Goes Global (2016); Handbook on Contemporary Pakistan (2017); Russia in the Middle East (2018), Winning the Battle, Losing the War: Addressing the Drivers Fueling Armed Non-state Actors and Extremist Groups (2020); Global, Regional and Local Dynamics in the Yemen Crisis (2020); Routledge Handbook of Counterterrorism and Irregular Warfare Operations (2021); and Understanding New Proxy Wars (2022). He is presently working on his third book, Iran's Arab Strategy: Defending the Homeland or Exporting Khomeinism?

February 21st was International Mother Language Day!Hosted (briefly, in English) and collected/edited by Jenny, we filled our airwaves with approximately 50 languages from over 70 participants, in celebration of "International Mother Language Day" which is observed every year to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism.Thank you to everyone who participated, with a special thanks to the staff and residents at The Village of Riverside Glen and the grade eights at Willow Public School for your extra contributions. We had over ten participants at Willow, and almost 30 at Riverside Glen. And thank you Chrissy Mounir for your help collecting and recording/editing additional languages! The music you will hear during the spoken section of the broadcast are the songs "Jak to Bude, Jak to Půjde Dál" and "Jak Se Daří Muj Milý_ (How Do You Fare, My Dear One_)" by local artist Louisa KratkaThere are seniors who shared that they were pressured to give up their language when they moved to Canada as children, and there are children who are just beginning their journey with English now. There are adults supporting seniors, speaking English to build a comfortable, familiar, somewhat-universal environment for the residents but whom share a world of languages between them outside of those moments, in their breaks and when they're off the clock. There are people who know just a short phrase or song in their ancestral mother language. And our University brings in so many languages too!This is truly a beautiful listen. Not to be missed!There were nearly 50 languages I counted (in addition to English), some languages are similar, some have slightly different names based on the era, and areas in which they're spoken. I did my best to record the language name based on what the participant shared with me, so I apologize for any spelling errors/duplications.The languages you'll hear are Arabic, Assyrian, Bicol, Pampanga, Tagalog/Filipino, česky (czech, czechia), Czech, Chinese, Croatian, German/Deutsche, Swiss-German, Dogri, Dutch, Ekiti, Espanol/Spanish, Farsi, Finnish, French, Gujarati, Hakka, Hindi, Hungarian, Inuktitut, Algonquin Language (Anishinabemowin) dialect from Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg, Ojibwe, Italian, Jamaican Patois, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Mandarin, Mohawk, Nepali, Norwegian, Nzema, Pashto, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Tamil, Telugu, Tigrinya, Urdu, YiddishThis originally aired on February 21st, 2026 This is a public episode.

We are not our regimes.De-escalation, Peace and Freedom in the Middle East: Iranian and Israeli Voices. Archenemies. This is the term commonly used to describe the relationship between Israel and Iran. An enmity that will ultimately lead to war, as it did in June 2025.Was war between these two states something that had to happen?No, said a group of Iranian and Israeli scholars and artists, that were worrying together since November 2024 about the hostile relationship of their respective countries.Three days after the breakout of the 12-day-war they published a statement in Hebrew, Farsi and English, urging for a ceasefire and diplomacy. And they stated: “We refuse to accept the inevitability of violent conflict as the only way forward between our nations, Israel and Iran, or their positioning as eternal arch-enemies.” Within a few days over 2400 people signed the open letter, from within Iran and Israel, along with many intellectuals from the Iranian diaspora.This represents a significant milestone in Israeli–Iranian relations, as it is the first time that intellectuals, artists, academics, filmmakers, and human rights activists have attempted to establish dialogue between two nations whose populations have been pitted against each other for decades.What are the chances and the challenges of this ambitious project? Human rights lawyer Mehrangiz Kar, editor of the Palestine – Israel Journal Susie Becher, publisher Hillel Schenker, political scientist Mehrzad Boroujerdi and the two historians Lior Sternfeld and Touraj Atabaki will join journalist Solmaz Khorsand February 12 on a conversation about crossing a supposedly insurmountable ditch.Touraj Atabaki, Emeritus Professor by special appointment of Social History of the Middle East and Central AsiaSusie Becher, Communications Director of the Policy Working Group and Managing Editor of the Palestine – Israel JournalMehrzad Boroujerdi, Vice Provost and Dean of College of Arts, Sciences, and Education at Missouri University of Science and TechnologyMehrangiz Kar, Iranian human rights lawyer and an internationally recognized writerHillel Schenker, Israeli journalist and co-editor of the Palestine-Israel JournalLior Sternfeld, Professor of history and Jewish Studies and Social Historian of the modern Middle EastModerator:Solmaz Khorsand, independent journalist, podcaster, and award-winning author focusing on socio-political issues

Ciao Ciccine, ciao Ciccini! Ma quanto è bello il futuro? Però, ammettiamolo: tra AI che scrivono poesie e bot che fanno trading al posto nostro, capirci qualcosa sta diventando un'impresa galattica. In questa puntata speciale, vi apro la mia biblioteca personale. Vi racconto i dieci romanzi di fantascienza che mi hanno letteralmente cambiato la percezione dell'universo (e anche del mio portafoglio tech). Dalle dune di Arrakis ai glitch cerebrali di Philip Dick, fino al 'must' assoluto di Asimov per capire se il vostro frigorifero intelligente sta complottando contro di voi. Prendetevi dieci minuti di pausa dal mondo reale, mettetevi le cuffie e venite in orbita con me. Perché il futuro non va solo vissuto, va letto prima degli altri!

In this episode from Highclere Castle, I sit down with Nick Hopton to talk about his book, "Marma Mia," which begins as the story of buying and restoring a holiday house in an unspoiled part of Tuscany, the Maremma and becomes a wider family and personal journey. Nick shares how reading "A Year in Provence" during COVID while he was British Ambassador to Libya helped inspire him to write a feel-good book that encourages readers to discover lesser-known regions. We discuss his Foreign Office career and his approach to languages, including learning Arabic across postings such as Morocco, Yemen, Qatar and Libya, along with French, Italian, Spanish, some German, and some Farsi ahead of becoming ambassador to Iran after the 2015 nuclear deal and the reopening of the British embassy. Nick explains how a friend's suggestion to look beyond Chianti led serendipitously to the first house they viewed and ultimately boughtalongside the realities of renovating abroad: high costs, practical challenges, and the highs and lows of making a place work for family life. We also talk about his unexpected love of landscaping and working with a skilled digger operator he calls “Michelangelo,” the region's food, wine, local olive oil and its strong Tuscan accent. Nick recounts a memorable moment when a friend arrived with an armed escort and the town's mayor turned out to greet them, and he updates me on ongoing projects, including drilling a 97-meter well to reach a fresh aquifer. Looking ahead, Nick describes writing best in the relative isolation of the Italian house and shares his interest in writing more broadly about the Mediterranean, linked to his role creating a new program at the University of Cambridge Centre for Geopolitics. We touch on the Napoleonic history of the area, including the principality of Piombino and Lucca and Napoleon's sister Elisa and end with a playful question about a dream dance guest Nick chooses Dante's Beatrice, reflecting his early love of Dante's poetry and its lifelong influence.00:00 Meet Nick Hopton & the book ‘Marma Mia' (restoring a house in Italy)00:50 Inspired by ‘A Year in Provence': writing a feel-good travel memoir during COVID01:59 Diplomatic life & learning languages: Arabic, French, Italian (and more)04:26 Why you should speak the local language (even with bad grammar)05:17 Falling for Tuscany's Maremma: the serendipitous house-buying story07:42 Renovation reality: highs, lows, and why the Maremma stays authentic08:44 Landscaping obsession: diggers, Kubotas, and ‘Michelangelo' the operator11:05 Food, wine & dialect: tomatoes, olive oil, and the Tuscan accent12:49 Small-town surprises: the ambassador friend visit and the mayor's welcome13:43 The work never ends: is the villa project ever really finished?14:01 Digging a 97m Well & the Never-Ending House Project14:27 What's Next After the Book: A Wider Mediterranean Focus14:58 Seeing the Mediterranean Holistically (Cambridge Geopolitics & Trade Routes)16:26 Duff Cooper, John Julius Norwich & Highclere's Colorful Guests17:20 Writing Habits: Tuscany, Isolation, Rhythm & Beating Procrastination18:37 Italy, Maremma & Napoleonic History: Elisa and the Principality of Piombino and Lucca20:30 Diplomatic Postings & Reopening the UK Embassy in Iran (2015)23:09 Iran Today: Regime Weakness, Protests, and a Hope to Visit the Cradle of Civilization24:21 Highclere's Library, the Book Club, and a Shared Love of Italy25:27 Finale: The Summer Dance Fantasy Guest—Dante, Beatrice & Vita NovaYou can hear more episodes of Lady Carnarvon's Official Podcasts at https://www.ladycarnarvon.com/podcast/New episodes are published on the first day of every month.

Abu Sufyaan Ibn Harb رضي الله عنه (S24) The battle of the trench: This battle took place in the year 5 A.H. The Jews instigated this. They went to Makkah to rally a force to attack the Messenger ﷺ. The Jewish tribes told the Quraysh to lead and that they'll follow. The Jews prostrated to Jibt and Thaaghoot (2 Idols) to prove their oath. The Messenger ﷺ received intel from Abaas رضي الله عنه that ~10,000 men were coming. The believers had one week to prepare. Salman al-Farsi رضي الله عنه suggested digging a trench as this was a tactic he saw in his lands before. Thus a trench was dug around the northern side.

I love the rhythm of the exchange between the anthropologist and the Chidigo speaker in the first section of this recording, and at first I thought about building a percussion piece around it. But I chose this piece to work with because of my deep interest in languages, especially marginalised ones, so I decided to work with words in the tradition of the Pitt Rivers collection, which brings together objects related by theme or function rather than place or time. I chose some words in the recording that have resonance for me and asked four friends to record them in their native tongues: Hanna Komar in Belorussian, Krysia Osostowicz in Polish, Darius Paymai in Farsi and Krithika Varagur in Tamil. I used those words as a kind of embroidery on the rough cloth of the field recording, interrupting, counterpointing, enhancing. The 2,000-year-old Tamil poem, "What He Said," is read by Krithika and in A.K. Ramanujan's English translation by Hanna. Languages, too, can mingle "like red earth and pouring rain".Researcher discussing vocabulary and translations of various English words reimagined by Maria Margaronis.———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.

I never thought a former member of Iran's Republican Guard would reach out to me. But here we are. How does a guy born in Italy, moved to New York then Califormia, end up in Iran, placed on a nofly list, get his passport seized, and ends up in the IRGC? All before age 18? Meet Sherman. He's also half Jewish on his father's side. Oh. He barely spoke Farsi. What could go wrong? 2 years of military brig living, secret police interrogations, and overseen by a religious magistrate. Yet, he ultimately got out..only to have to return again. A story so odd, you have to hear it for yourself. Luckily you can. Just hit play.And yes, we do address the current protests in Iran and the expected state of play regarding regime change.

Oggi parliamo di uno dei temi che mi chiedete di più in assoluto: i confini e l’arte di dire di no. Il vero problema, infatti, non è tanto pronunciare la parola ‘no’, ma gestire l’enorme senso di colpa che si scatena dentro di noi subito dopo. In questa puntata esploreremo perché finiamo per trasformare i nostri bisogni in faticosi ‘sì’, prosciugando le nostre energie e svuotando il nostro bicchiere per riempire quello degli altri.

Antonella Parigi"Moncalieri Legge"www.visitmoncalieri.itVenerdì 13 e sabato 14 febbraio 2026 a Moncalieri si svolgerà la nuova edizione di Moncalieri Legge, manifestazione che, in una veste rinnovata, animerà per due giornate il territorio con iniziative dedicate ai libri, alla parola e alla cultura condivisa. Il programma prevede momenti di lettura collettiva, performance, incontri e altre attività pensate per valorizzare il dialogo tra autori, lettori e cittadini. Moncalieri Legge è un progetto di Comune di Moncalieri e Visit Moncalieri, con il contributo della Regione Piemonte, realizzato dal Comitato Moncalieri Cultura e dalla Biblioteca Civica “Antonio Arduino”.Tanti gli appuntamenti in programma, tutti a ingresso gratuito: la nuova rassegna Rivelazioni diretta da Nicola Lagioia, alle Fonderie Limone, e una nuova edizione del Premio Letterario Città di Moncalieri, che andrà quest'anno a Viola Ardone, oltre alle iniziative che coinvolgeranno attivamente le scuole, le biblioteche del circuito BI.TO e i Gruppi di Lettura che hanno risposto alla call lanciata lo scorso ottobre allo scopo di raccogliere proposte che sono confluite nel programma. La rassegna Rivelazioni, sotto la direzione artistica di Nicola Lagioia, propone un ciclo di incontri, lezioni e momenti di approfondimento alle Fonderie Limone. Gli incontri sono a ingresso libero; è consigliata la prenotazione su visitmoncalieri.it.Ad aprire la rassegna, venerdì 13 febbraio, due incontri dedicati in modo particolare alle studentesse e agli studenti degli Istituti Comprensivi di Moncalieri e Torino, ma aperti al pubblico. Alle ore 9.30 la scrittrice Vanessa Roghi terrà la lezione Sotto i nostri occhi: quello che non vediamo a scuola, che comprenderà la presentazione di un testo inedito e un confronto finale con il pubblico. Alle ore 12.00 la lezione Voler bene al proprio corpo con Vittorio Lingiardi sarà dedicata al corpo come teatro della psiche: a partire dalla sua più recente pubblicazione, Farsi male (Einaudi, 2025), lo psichiatra e psicoterapeuta indagherà il fenomeno dell'autolesionismo, comportamento che raggiunge il suo picco in adolescenza, cercando di dare voce a un dolore che non trova parole. In serata, alle ore 21.00,  Paolo Nori racconta Delitto e castigo: lo scrittore e traduttore porterà in scena un monologo che offrirà una rilettura teatrale di quello che forse è il romanzo più popolare di Fëdor Dostoevskij.Come si diventa ciò che non si è è l'incontro che apre la giornata di sabato 14 febbraio, ore 10.30: Nicola Lagioia firma una lezione sull'imparare a fare le cose, su quel processo di apprendimento che riguarda tutti e che nessuno è in grado di spiegare con facilità, e in cui l'arte – e persino il mondo dei libri – può svolgere un ruolo davvero imprevisto. Alle ore 12.00 lo scrittore Paolo Pecere terrà l'incontro Il senso della Terra. Raccontare e comprendere i luoghi dall'ecologia alla letteratura: un percorso di immagini e testi su luoghi di tutto il pianeta, tratti da diverse lingue e culture, per riflettere su come lo sguardo e il pensiero danno senso ai luoghi e quindi alla presenza umana sulla Terra.La giornata prosegue alle ore 15.30, con l'incontro Il reincanto della lettura della scrittrice Loredana Lipperini: in un'epoca in cui i lettori diminuiscono, tornare alle storie - sostituite troppo spesso dalle autonarrazioni - diventa la chiave per reincantare non solo i libri ma il mondo stesso, come già sanno le reti di lettori e di lettrici che, senza clamore, rendono vivi i territori. Di cosa significa Raccontare la guerra ci parlerà alle ore 17.00 la giornalista Francesca Mannocchi, che chiuderà la rassegna offrendo una riflessione sulla narrazione contemporanea dei conflitti, tra propaganda e omissioni, tra l'urgenza della testimonianza e il rischio della spettacolarizzazione, portando esempi di reportage, tecniche narrative e scelte linguistiche che incidono sulla percezione del lettore.Nel mese di ottobre è stato lanciato un invito a tutte le biblioteche del sistema BI.TO con l'obiettivo di rendere i Gruppi di Lettura protagonisti attivi di Moncalieri Legge. Un percorso partecipato che ha portato alla selezione dei libri più amati tra quelli pubblicati nel 2025, e alla designazione del vincitore del Premio Letterario Città di Moncalieri, assegnato a Tanta ancora vita (Einaudi, 2025) di Viola Ardone.La serata di premiazione si terrà venerdì 13 febbraio alle ore 18.00 presso il Teatro delle Fonderie Limone, e vedrà come protagonisti anche gli studenti e le studentesse dell'Istituto di Istruzione Superiore “Majorana” di Moncalieri, coinvolti insieme agli attori della compagnia teatrale PoEM diretta da Gabriele Vacis in momenti performativi legati alla lettura e ai libri più votati. Oltre alla designazione del libro vincitore del Premio Letterario, i Gruppi di Lettura delle Biblioteche del sistema BI.TO hanno risposto con entusiasmo alla call dello scorso ottobre presentando tantissime proposte che sabato 14 febbraio a partire dalle ore 10.00 trasformeranno le borgate della città in una biblioteca diffusa, con letture condivise, presentazioni, proiezioni di documentari e testimonianze.  Il programma, ancora in via di definizione, coinvolgerà diversi Gruppi di Lettura del territorio e non solo: tra le biblioteche e le realtà coinvolte, la Biblioteca SPABA, la Biblioteca di Avellino, la Biblioteca delle Donne di Láadan, la Biblioteca di Gassino, la Biblioteca di Casa Dravelli, il gruppo LeggiAmo, il Bookcrossing delle Borgate di Moncalieri, l'Associazione Teatrulla, l'Associazione Compagne di Banco e il progetto Pagina37.La Biblioteca “A. Arduino” di Moncalieri, oltre a essere ente organizzatore dell'iniziativa, è anche sede di diverse iniziative rivolte a tutte le età. Tra i tanti appuntamenti, venerdì 13 febbraio alle ore 15.00 ospiterà un Convegno sui Gruppi di Lettura intesi come motori di benessere sociale, comunitario e creativo. Il programma completo è disponibile su visitmoncalieri.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Just this morning, we had a three-hour meeting. When's the last time you had a three-hour Zoom call? We had one this morning from 7:00 AM to 10:00, right on the dot— we started right at seven, we ended at ten. We had maybe about ten people, and it was our beginning-of-the-year brainstorming session. Vision, mission, brainstorming for 2026 and beyond: What are our next goals for distributing knowledge that's what keeps us up at night and wakes us up early in the morning: how to do good for others. This is what Advaita Ācārya did—he couldn't sleep thinking about the plight of those in the material world who didn't have the opportunity to come in contact with true knowledge. The rich people were burning their money up doing all these crazy rituals, and poor people were wasting money on intoxication and frivolous activities. And he thought, 'Please, let me be a force in the world to reform them.' So he prayed for Lord Caitanya to come, and he helped to organize the distribution of knowledge. In fact, did you know that Advaita Ācārya went door to door? How'd you like it if Mahā-Viṣṇu came to your front door? 'Who's at the door, honey?' 'I think it's God. He's come knocking at our door.' That's how eager The Supreme Personality of Godhead is. He likes to do it, and He knows the formula. If you just go out and make yourself available—when it's cold or rainy or too hot or you don't feel like it—you're going to feel bad anyway; the material world's just like that. But if you pray, you chant, and you go out and try to give the knowledge to other people, you'll feel joyful 24 hours a day, and your thoughts will be transcendental. Because what you're going to do—if you toss and turn at night right now, you'll still toss and turn—but you're going to be thinking about: "How can I distribute Bhagavad-gītā, not just in English, but in Arabic and in Farsi, in French and Japanese, all over the world?" And if that's your preoccupation in life, you're a liberated soul. It's not hard; it's a simple process. These are heartfelt principles brought to us by Advaita Ācārya, who offered them to everybody. If you live in some far-flung place, you can restart the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement right from your place. All you have to do is have a Bhagavad-gītā and start reading it. Invite people to come over, chant a little bit, and when they get inspired, have them go out and chant for other people. The miracle happens again and again and again. Everyone's waiting for a miracle in this world, but one has already come: it's Advaita Ācārya. He showed us how to do it. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------

It's Monday, January 26th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus The Iranian protests are putting Christians at greater risk The Islamic Republic of Iran is hostile to protestors and Christians alike. Lana Silk of the Christian organization Transform Iran said, “Police are indiscriminately shooting into the crowds. The people try to fight back, but they are unarmed and almost entirely defenseless.” She is certain that more than 12,000 Iranians have been killed, and quite possibly 30,000 or more, reports International Christian Concern. She said, “The streets are now being patrolled by tanks and aggressive armed security forces. People are being rounded up, beaten, imprisoned, and killed. Men, women, and children, it doesn't matter.” Anyone who dares to go outside is in danger. Though Iran's Islamic regime, where 95% of the population is Muslim, treats almost none of its people well, it tends to be especially ruthless with its Christian minority. Iran is currently ranked as the 10th-most oppressive country for Christians. The Iranian government makes no secret about its attitude toward Christianity. Such worship in the country's main language -- Persian, also known as Farsi -- is essentially outlawed, as is any Christian literature written in that language. Matthew 5:10 says, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” Vice President Vance announces expansion of Mexico City Policy Appearing at the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. on Friday, Vice President J.D. Vance spoke up for life, reports LifeNews.com. VANCE: “With the Dobbs decision, what the President did, what the Supreme Court did, was put a definitive end to the tyranny of judicial rule on the question of human life. He shattered a 50-year culture of disposability, one that treated human life as expendable the moment that it became inconvenient. And he empowered our nation and our movement to build a culture of life from the grassroots up.” Vice President Vance outlined some of the Trump administration's pro-life accomplishments. VANCE: “We started by undoing the evils we saw under the previous administration, like, for example, throwing priests and grandmothers in prison for praying outside a[n abortion] clinic. That's over; we stopped it. (cheers) “Where the previous administration mandated taxpayer funding for abortions, including travel costs across the entire government, this administration ended it. (cheers) We have expanded conscience protections for health care workers and defended faith based foster care and adoption. “This administration launched fraud investigations into Planned Parenthood affiliates (cheers) for millions of dollars in [Paycheck Protection Program] loans that were unlawfully received and unlawfully forgiven by the Biden administration. You should not be able to commit fraud and use taxpayer money for abortion. It's that simple! (cheers) “At many of our departments, we've reinstated a ban on the use of fetal tissue in federal research. That's another big one, and this is something we're so proud of. We're returning accountability to our foreign policy as well. “Under Joe Biden, it was the policy of the United States to export abortion and radical gender ideology all around the world. That is what they did with your tax money. (boos) They would relentlessly bully developing countries into parroting their far left views. But under President Trump's leadership, and with our great Secretary of State, we believe that every country in the world has the duty to protect life.” And Vice President Vance cited an expansion of the pro-life Mexico City policy. VANCE: “Today, our administration is proud to announce a historic expansion of the Mexico City policy. We're going to start blocking every international [non-governmental organization] that performs or promotes abortion abroad from receiving $1 of U.S. money. (cheers) We're expanding this policy to protect life, to combat DEI, and the radical gender ideologies that prey on our children. “The rule will now cover every non-military foreign assistance that America sends. All in all, we have expanded the Mexico City policy about three times as big as it was before. And we're proud of it because we believe in fighting for life.” Proverbs 31:8 says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” ICE shot and killed man in Minneapolis Federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old man in Minneapolis on Saturday morning, less than three weeks after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good, amid an ongoing surge in immigration enforcement action across the city, reports CBS News. Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who worked at the Minneapolis Veterans Administration hospital, was identified as the man killed by a Border Patrol agent. CBS News in Minneapolis reported, “Videos from the scene show that Pretti was holding a cellphone, not a gun, when he was shot.”  However, ICE Commander Gregory Bovino said the agent acted in self-defense after attempting to disarm Pretti. Listen. BOVINO: “An individual approached us Border Patrol agents with a nine millimeter, semi-automatic handgun. The agents attempted to disarm the individual, but he violently resisted. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, a Border Patrol agent fired defensive shots. “Medics on the scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject, but the subject was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect also had two loaded magazines and no accessible ID. “This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement. Then, about 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement.” That's when an armored ICE vehicle was pelted by stones by angry Leftists. (audio from the streets of Minneapolis) Trump sues JPMorgan Chase for $5 billion over 'political' debanking And finally, President Donald Trump is suing the JPMorgan Chase bank and its CEO Jamie Dimon in a $5 billion lawsuit filed last Thursday, accusing the financial institution of debanking Trump for political reasons, reports Fox Business. The president's attorney, Alejandro Brito, filed the lawsuit Thursday morning in Florida state court in Miami on behalf of the president and several of his hospitality companies. Brito quoted JPMorgan's code of conduct, which states that the bank operates "with the highest level of integrity and ethical conduct." The Trump lawsuit asserts, "Despite claiming to hold these principles dear, [J.P. Morgan Chase violated them by unilaterally—and without warning or remedy—terminating several of [the] Plaintiff's bank accounts." This is not the first time. Sam Brownback, Trump's Ambassador for Religious Freedom, wrote a New York Post column last year in which he said, “If you've ever had a rug pulled out from under you, then you know how it feels to suddenly lose access to your own bank account.  That's what happened to me in 2022, when JPMorgan Chase, America's largest bank, abruptly canceled our newly opened account for the National Committee for Religious Freedom. “[We] launched a national campaign to collect and tell the stories of those who, like us, had been canceled or punished by their banks, payment processors or even insurance companies. We found that most debanking victims have two things in common: Their finances are in order, and they're conservative or religious.” Proverbs 11:3 says, “The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity."

As I write this short note, we are waiting for President Trump to begin a live press conference any minute. It is 10:20 pm in Israel and you can feel it in the air. Bristling tension. Airlines have cancelled flights to and from Israel and there is a pace of information flowing that is beyond frenetic. Whatever happens - or doesn't - the conversation I had earlier today with Negar Mojtahedi- will be as relevant tomorrow as it is at the moment, no matter what transpires.Mojtahedi is a Canadian journalist of Iranian descent who is fluent in Farsi. Based in Vancouver, Canada, she is a journalist with Iran International, the premiere media voice for the Iranian diaspora and opposition to the Islamic Republic regime.In this podcast we discuss the brutal slaughter that has been unleashed on the Iranian people since December 28 by Iranian police and others. This podcast is direct and nothing is sugar coated. Mojtahedi is in constant contact with experts globally as well as sources within Iran. Her plea - which you will hear - reflects desperate concern.The U.S. must do something. Now. Before it's too late.We discuss the brutality of the Basij and other police - opening fire with military grade weapons on masses of unarmed civilians. This is a quick update and includes very informative clips that you may have missed. The Basij police - a force of at least 2 million of a population of 90-million - are singled out for particular attention, as they have been in Israel as well. This low-level militia force is likely doing much of the killing - and Iranians have begun to dox them with red paint and threats on their homes.

It's Friday, December 26th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by yours truly and heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. Filling in for Adam McManus, I'm Ean Leppin. (Contact@eanvoiceit.com) Christmas for Christians Internationally Hope you and your family had a blessed Christmas Day yesterday!  But in some countries celebrating Christmas is illegal and must be done in secret.  Persecution.org reported what Christians in certain countries risk by acknowledging the Christmas Holiday. In Brunei, in Asia, public displays of Christmas are banned. While Christians are allowed to recognize the holiday inside their homes or churches, they can't hold any public Christmas celebrations. The nation officially banned public Christmas displays in 2014, fearing that they could lead Muslims away from Islam. Muslims found violating the ban, by wearing Santa hats or in some fashion partaking in banned Christmas festivities, could face up to five years in prison. Additionally, Christians are prohibited from spreading the gospel to Muslims. In China, they allow approved groups to hold restricted Christmas celebrations, which vary by region. Individuals younger than 18 years old are forbidden to attend Christmas church celebrations, and authorities continue their campaign to force churches to inject communism into Christian worship. In Iran, Christmas gatherings are allowed in registered churches and approved districts. Small, unregistered house-churches, particularly those of Muslim converts to Christianity, are often raided by authorities.  In November 2025, two individuals who converted to Christianity from Islam began serving a two-year prison sentence for charges related to their participation in a Christian house church. In addition, all church services are forbidden to be conducted in Farsi, Iran's native language. Instead, foreign languages, such as Armenian or Assyrian, are typically used to curb the spread of Christianity to native-born Muslim-Iranians.  Read about other countries in the link on our transcript at www.theworldview.com Ephesians 6:18 says  "praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints" Christians Blocked from Attending Christmas Service in Indonesia Morning Star News reports that Muslims in the West Java Province, Indonesia formed a human wall to block Christians from attending a Christmas service on December 14th.  Videos on social media show police officers and onlookers watching dozens of Muslim men and women holding hands to form a human chain, making anti-Christian comments.  Indonesian society in recent years has adopted a more conservative Islamic character, and churches involved in evangelistic outreach are at risk of being targeted by Islamic extremist groups, according to Open Doors. Nigerian Christian Receives Full Pardon from Death Sentence A Nigerian Christian farmer who was sentenced to death after killing a Fulani radical in self-defense following an attack on his farm has been released from prison after receiving a full pardon according to the Christian Post. Christian rights advocates including US Rep. Riley M Moore of West Virginia are celebrating the release of Sunday Jackson, a student and farmer from the Demsa Local Government Area of Adamawa State, who was sentenced to death in 2021 over a 2015 confrontation on his farm.  Here is Representative Riley M Moore calling attention to this issue to the US House. MOORE: “I would urge the Nigerian government to take a look at pardoning Sunday Jackson, who is an individual who was fighting for his own life, defending his life against one of these Fulani militants. That Fulani militant lost his life in that struggle, and now that person, Sunday Jackson, is facing the death penalty! Where's the justice in that? All these Fulani militants are breaking the law. They are breaking Nigerian law. And so, Sunday Jackson disarms this person with a knife, protects his own life. He's going to prison, and now faces the death penalty, and Fulani militants, just roaming bands of them, with AK-47s, and that's no problem.” Moore went on to say ‘Sunday Jackson is free! After more than a decade in prison serving a death sentence for defending himself, Sunday Jackson has been pardoned…I have been advocating for Sunday's release both in public and in private meetings, including during my recent Congressional Delegation visit to Nigeria.' Psalm 138:7 says, Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me. Woman Dying of Cancer Receives Hundreds of Christmas Cards Good News Network tells of Clare Jones from Wales a mother of 3 who was told her cancer was no longer responding to treatment and given months to live made a simple request on Facebook she said, ‘After finding out last week that this is probably going to be my last Christmas.  I am looking for ways to make it super special!  I'm a simple person who likes simple things.  I love Christmas Cards!  I would love to have lots of cards this year!...when you are doing your cards could you pop an extra one for me?' That post was shared 10,000 times and her mailbox has received hundreds of cards this holiday season.  Many of the cards contain show and movie tickets, vouchers for camping trips, free flights and other gifts.  Jones told the BBC ‘I have many people around me who care for me.  If love could cure cancer, I would be cured.'

Fatma Hassona was a Palestinian photographer from Gaza City who was killed with her family by an Israeli airstrike in April 2025. A year earlier, the Iranian filmmaker Sepideh Farsi began recording video conversations with Hassona about her life and work under Israeli bombardment, which became the film Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk. In this episode, Adam Shatz talks to Farsi about the process of making the film, the connection she formed with Hassona, and the practical and ethical challenges of documenting Israel's devastation of Gaza and its people.

"Put Your Soul On Your Hand And Walk" is a documentary film directed by Sepideh Farsi, depicting life in Gaza during the ongoing Israeli military campaign, captured through Farsi's video calls with a young Palestinian photojournalist living there named Fatima Hassouna. The documentary had its world premiere at the ACID parallel section of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. A day after the filmmakers found out the film had been selected for the festival, Hassouna was killed in an Israeli airstrike alongside nine members of her family on April 16th. The film is dedicated to her memory and has garnered positive reviews, including Gotham and Cinema Eye Honors nominations for Best Documentary Feature. Farsi was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about her work and experience making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in limited release from Kino Lorber. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

From growing up in Iran and discovering his burgeoning love for cinema via unconventional means… to his journey through film school in the UK… to the making of his first feature UNDER THE SHADOW which he insisted on shooting in Jordan and in its native Farsi language… to his appreciation on finding ways to bring personal and even political stories to the audience through genre films… to the benefits of working with non-experienced actors… to how he shot HALLOW ROAD using both film and digital as well as a "volume" stage to achieve the wild visual style… to working with the incredible Rosamund Pike (GONE GIRL) and Matthew Rhys (THE AMERICANS)… to how he came up with surprising ways to utilize his talented cast in the film and even a little discussion about his developing CLOVERFIELD sequel, Babak is most definitely a rising star worth keeping your eyes on!
