主播：翩翩（中国）+ Selah（美国）音乐：Anywhere Is近日关于关于法国总统马克龙的一段“打脸”视频火了（go viral）。今天我们要聊的话题就是本次“打脸门”事件（Slapgate Incident）。01 Macron's “Slapgate” Incident 马克龙“打脸门”事件马克龙夫妇乘专机（on a private plane）抵达越南（Vietam）。But right before stepping off the aircraft (下飞机), they appeared to (疑似) have an argument. And in an awkward moment caught on camera, Brigitte appeared to slap the president's face. But Macron quickly snapped right back (立刻恢复原状) into a smiling, waving politician (政治家) when he noticed the camera.视频中马克龙反应非常快，网友调侃其“压力下反应迅速”（quick thinking under pressure）。But the internet went nuts (走红), and every major news outlet (主流新闻媒体) picked it up (报道).02 Media Headlines and Public Speculation 媒体标题与公众猜测Some people are low-key wondering (小声嘀咕) if there be trouble in their marriage. Foreign media also speculated (猜测) that there might be trouble in Macron and his wife's relationship.low-key wondering：小声嘀咕（欧美年轻人常用的话，吃瓜群众的小心思）Here is an international headline. International outlet Firstpost wrote: From student-teacher affair to slapgate: Inside Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron's scandal-ridden relationship从师生关系到打脸门：布丽吉特和马纽埃尔·马克龙丑闻缠身的关系内幕It is called student-teacher affair because Macron met Brigitte when he was 15. She was his teacher—25 years older and already a mom of three. They fell in love. In the end, he married her at 29. They've been together ever since.student-teacher affair: 师生恋（带有负面暗示）affair: 事情，可引申为风流韵事、不当关系A sexual relationship between two people, usually when one or both of them is married to somebody else.Eg. Somebody is having an affair. 某人有婚外情。scandal-ridden relationship: 丑闻缠身的关系A scandal-ridden relationship is a romantic connection (情感纠葛) between two people that causes a lot of public shock, criticism (批评), or disgrace (耻辱)—usually because it breaks social rules.slapgate: 打脸门It refers to any of various controversies involving a well-known person slapping another person or thing.英语里面人们会用“-gate”作为后缀来命名丑闻事件，这一用法源自“水门事件（the Watergate Affair）”。从水门事件之后，这个“-gate”后缀变成了一个很有趣的英语语言现象，专门来指各种政治丑闻（political scandal）、科技丑闻（technology scandal）、商业丑闻（corporate scandal）、娱乐丑闻（celebrity scandal）。Eg. Irangate: 伊朗门Partygate：派对门（英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊在新冠封锁期间违规举办派对）Nipplegate: 胸门It was when Janet Jackson's top accidentally came open (上衣不小心开了口) during the Super Bowl show (超级碗场秀) in 2004.Serious media outlets use the “-gate” for major scandals like Russiagate in a formal context, but when applied to minor incidents (小事件), it often carries a sarcastic tone (调侃色彩). 英文中大事小情都是“......门”，就跟表情包（memes）一样，开玩笑的意味比较重。有趣的是马克龙登机口被打脸事件称作“slapgate”有一个妙用，就是双关（pun），因为英文中登机口就是gate。After Macron got slapped, Twitter users came up with the savage nickname (很损的外号) “Smacron”-a brutal combo (一种残酷的组合) of “smack (掌掴)” and “Macron”.03 Macron's Explanation and Public Skepticism 马克龙的解释与公众质疑After the video went viral, Macron was quick to clarify—he said they were just horsing around, nothing serious, definitely not some domestic drama (家庭剧).horse around: 闹着玩It means to play in a silly, noisy, or rough (粗鲁的) way.Eg. We were just horsing around—it wasn't a real fight!我们只是闹着玩，不是真的打架！但外媒报道时，都把“horse around”这个词加了引号。Plenty of media outlets weren't buying it (不买账). It is basically saying: That's Macron's version…(这是马克龙的版本...)欢迎在评论区告诉我们：What do you think is going on? 你觉得是怎么回事呢？

On the frontline of Mexico's drug wars, rival cartels are exploiting a decades-old dispute about indigenous land rights and turning local people against each other - with fatal consequences. To appease Trump, the government has downplayed the violence in the south to focus on the US border, but if the cartels continue undeterred, could the US launch a military operation?

Presa din întreaga lume prefațează discuția telefonică dintre președinții Donald Trump și Vladimir Putin, programată pentru marți. Comentatorii remarcă optimismul lui Donald Trump dar atenționează asupra condițiilor maximale puse de Moscova. Apelul, programat pentru marți, va fi prima conversație cunoscută între cei doi lideri de când Putin a stabilit numeroase condiții pentru încetarea focului cu Ucraina, scrie The New York Times.Potrivit cotidianului spaniol El País, Donald Trump „este optimist cu privire la acceptarea de către Moscova a armistițiului” și consideră că părțile „au șanse foarte bune” de a ajunge la un acord. (Sursa: Toute l'Europe).Înaintea discuțiilor cu liderul rus Vladimir Putin, președintele american Donald Trump a sugerat că va solicita concesii teritoriale din partea Ucrainei, notează Firstpost.USA Today amintește că  ”Vladimir Putin a vorbit în repetate rânduri despre necesitatea de a elimina ceea ce el descrie drept „cauzele fundamentale” ale războiului. El se referă la expansiunea NATO în Europa de Est și pune sub semnul întrebării însuși conceptul de suveranitate ucraineană. Putin a spus că orice acord de încetare a focului va trebui să includă încetarea livrărilor de arme occidentale către Ucraina”.„Întrebat ce concesii așteaptă de la Vladimir Putin, președintele SUA a răspuns că o mare parte a discuției se va concentra pe revendicări teritoriale”, relatează Der Spiegel.După cum notează revista franceză Le Point, ”Rusia ar putea cere garanții că aderarea Ucrainei la NATO va fi exclusă din orice acord de pace, după cum a declarat Alexander Grushko, ministrul adjunct de externe al Rusiei, pentru presa rusă Izvestia.Și tot în Franța, Le Parisien observă că ”Vladimir Putin a stabilit până acum condiții maximaliste pentru încheierea conflictului, cum ar fi cedarea din partea Ucrainei a cinci regiuni anexate de Moscova, abandonarea ambițiilor sale de a adera la NATO și dezmembrarea guvernului ucrainean”În comentariul său, BBC remarcă tonul optimist al comentariilor care vin de la Moscova în perspectiva discuției dintre liderii rus și american: ”Viceministrul rus de externe Alexander Grushko tocmai a acordat un lung interviu ziarului Izvestia în care susține că războiul din Ucraina a arătat că NATO și UE au „subestimat” Rusia.În ceea ce privește forțele de menținere a păcii, chiar dacă Marea Britanie și UE vorbesc despre asigurarea unei posibile încetări a focului, Rusia spune „nu” oricăror trupe NATO sau UE desfășurate pe teren.Toate acestea ilustrează o presupusă agresiune occidentală împotriva Rusiei”.Dar Rusia ”ignoră în mod deliberat dovezile agresiunii reale - Crimeea în 2014, atacul cu agent neurotoxic de la Salisbury din 2018, multiple acte de sabotaj și altele.Dar nimic din toate acestea nu sună ca un mesaj al unei țări aflate sub presiune sau care se pregătește să facă concesii.Se pare mai degrabă că Rusia crede în prezent că ea face cărțile”.

“Disease X” - så kallas den okända smittan som just nu sprider sig i Kongo-Kinshasa. 31 personer har bekräftats döda och över 400 ska vara smittade. Sjukdomen sprids i en avlägsen och fattig region i sydvästra Kongo-Kinshasa, och det som sticker ut lite extra är att mer än hälften av de smittade är barn under fem år, och kvinnor. Samtidigt som epidemiologiska experter befinner sig på plats i Kongo-Kingshaa för att utreda sjukdomen har oron för smittan spridit sig till flera länder i Asien. I Thailand har myndigheterna infört stärkt övervakning på flygplatser och gränsövergångar, och likaså i Hongkong. Vad är det egentligen för sjukdom vi har att göra med? Finns det några planer på särskilda åtgärder i Sverige? Och hur allvarlig är situationen? Gäst: Magnus Gisslén, statsepidemiolog på Folkhälsomyndigheten och professor i infektionssjukdomar vid Sahlgrenska akademin. Programledare och producent: Olivia Bengtsson.

Începând de duminică, forțele de opoziție siriene au preluiat controlul asupra celei mai mari părți a orașului Alep, potrivit Observatorului Sirian pentru Drepturile Omului. O situație dificilă pentru președintele Bashar-al Assad și susținătorii săi ruși și iranieni. Potrivit The Telegraph, este ”un regres strategic semnificativ pentru președintele sirian Bashar al-Assad, care se bazase pe sprijinul rus și iranian pentru a-și menține puterea. Acum, cu Alep în mâinile rebelilor, echilibrul de putere s-a schimbat.Atât Iranul, cât și Hezbollah-ul susținut de Iran în Siria au fost slăbiți de recentul conflict cu Israelul, rebelii ar putea încerca să profite de slăbiciunea percepută a acestora”.”Dar cine sunt rebelii care conduc ofensiva în Siria?” Este întrebarea din titlul articolului pe care îl citim în The New York Times: ”Grupul care avansează acum, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, spune că vrea să înlocuiască guvernul Assad cu unul inspirat de principiile islamice.Hayat Tahrir al-Sham a fost afiliat Al Qaeda de care s-a rupt cu ani în urmă și a ajuns să domine ultimul bastion al opoziției siriene.Odată văzută ca una dintre cele mai puternice facțiuni extremiste ale rebeliunii, grupul a încercat mai târziu să-și minimizeze aspectele radicale și s-a concentrat pe construirea în zona sa de teritoriu a unui gen de guvern civil – deși unul autoritar și conservator”. ”Odată cu revenirea insurgenței, care a recâștigat controlul asupra Alepului, guvernul sirian plătește pentru refuzul său de a face concesii, incapacitatea de a se reforma și de a ieși din izolare”, este de părere Le Monde:”Rămânând un paria în ochii occidentalilor din cauza, spun ei, represiunii sângeroase pe care a dus-o împotriva poporului său, Bashar Al-Assad reușise să-și salveze postul, datorită sprijinului iranian și rus.”Un joc riscant cu multe necunoscutePotrivit Euronews, ”creșterea violenței vine într-un moment de mare tulburare politică în Orientul Mijlociu. Israelul luptă activ cu Hamas în Gaza și Hezbollah în Liban, ambele grupări amenințând că vor genera tulburări regionale mai largi.Violența reînnoită din Siria riscă, de asemenea, să implice două puteri regionale în conflict. Atât Rusia, cât și Turcia au propriile interese de protejat, ambele părți oferind sprijin grupurilor în conflict.Un război care atrage în oricare dintre țări în ciocniri directe una cu celalaltă ar aduce consecințe dăunătoare unei scene politice deja instabile”.După cum amintește FirstPost, ”în războiul civil sirian, Iranul și Turcia sunt susținători ai taberelor opuse. În timp ce Turcia a sprijinit de mult timp forțele de opoziție, Iranul împreună cu Rusia l-au sprijinit pe Assad. Din 2020, luptele au stagnat, după ce Rusia și Turcia au intermediat o încetare a focului. Acum, această înțelegere se vede spulberată.Turcia s-a opus mișcării împotriva lui Assad și în ultima vreme a căutat un fel de apropiere. Aceste eforturi sunt acum îngreunate de ofensiva forțelor de opoziție împotriva regimului”.Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung crede că ”nu întâmplător escaladarea are loc acum, în timp ce președintele ales al SUA, Donald Trump, se pregătește să preia mandatul. Turcia și rebelii vor să impună faptul împlinit pe teren, în timp ce capacitatea Washingtonului de a acționa este limitată. Dar este un joc riscant cu multe necunoscute.”

Gold has had an extraordinary year in 2024, marked 40 record-breaking price peaks and a recent volatility…all influenced by geopolitical events, Fed rate cuts, central bank purchases and Trump's return to the White House. India's consumer demand was a standout despite price hikes and helped by a duty cut. Gold-backed ETFs gained traction, growing by 14 tons this year. And let's not forget the growing demand for the yellow metal in AI technology.

Președintele rus Vladimir Putin a aprobat marți o doctrină nucleară actualizată. Aceasta coboară pragul pentru o lovitură, ca răspuns la o gamă mai largă de atacuri convenționale la adresa Rusiei. Schimbările au venit la două zile după ce Washington a decis să permită Ucrainei să folosească rachete cu rază mai lungă de acțiune pe teritoriul rus. Cât de mare este pericolul? După cum titrează The New York Times, ”Pentru Rusia, armele nucleare sunt cea mai mare monedă de negociere”.Iar CBS News amintește că ”Putin a amenințat că va folosi arme nucleare în Ucraina de mai multe ori, de când a ordonat invazia pe scară largă a țării pe 24 februarie 2022.  Rusia a avertizat în mod repetat Occidentul că, dacă Washingtonul permite Ucrainei să lanseze rachete fabricate în Occident pe teritoriul ei, ar considera că  aliații NATO sunt direct implicați în război.”The Irish Times observă că ”Indiferent dacă domnul Putin este într-adevăr pregătit să ia opțiunea nucleară, amenințarea este menită să arate lumii că Rusia rămâne o putere majoră și că Washingtonul și aliații săi ar trebui să-și limiteze sprijinul pentru Ucraina. Acesta este principalul motiv pentru care au permis doar cu greu Kievului să folosească arme mai puternice și au evitat să trimită trupe”.Ziarul francez Libération notează că ”Franța va trebui să decidă în curând dacă urmează exemplul american, permițând Ucrainei să folosească propriile rachete de croazieră avansate împotriva teritoriului rus. Era foarte ușor să te joci de-a cowboy-ii și indienii, pe vremea când vestul sălbatic nu era la porțile Europei”.Citeste siPutin este Nașul Rusiei comandate în stil mafiot de KGB (Istoric)”Este un atac nuclear iminent?” – se întreabă Firstpost.Expertul citat de publicație este de părere că utilizarea rachetelor occidentale cu rază mai lungă de acțiune „cu siguranță nu va declanșa” răspunsul nuclear al Moscovei, așa cum se tem unii din Occident. Dar el a adăugat că „Rusia poate escalada într-o serie de moduri pentru a impune costuri Occidentului, de la sabotaj subacvatic până la angajarea de împuterniciți pentru a hărțui comerțul în Bab el-Mandeb”, o strâmtoare din largul Mării Roșii, unde atacurile asupra transporturilor maritime au fost atribuite rebelilor Houthi din Yemen.Nu există nicio schimbare reală a nivelului de amenințare, constată Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.„De când Putin a pus forțele nucleare rusești în așteptare în timpul anexării Crimeei în primăvara lui 2014, el s-a jucat cu amenințarea de a folosi arme nucleare pentru a susține agresiunea militară convențională. Precauția Occidentului în acordarea de sprijin militar Ucrainei este reacția - bine întemeiată - la acest lucru. Faptul că Kremlinul definește acum condițiile pentru utilizarea armelor nucleare într-un mod mai larg și puțin mai vag nu face nicio diferență.”Doctrina nucleară este doar propagandă pentru consumul intern, crede Corriere della Sera:„După știrile din SUA de vineri, televiziunea rusă și-a încordat imediat mușchii mândriei patriotice. ... „Este nevoie doar de trei rachete bine plasate și întreaga civilizație britanică se va prăbuși și va fi distrusă pentru totdeauna”, a spus un expert militar pe primul canal de stat. Dar unele medii și indivizi inteligenți, care cunosc cu adevărat intențiile lui Putin și ale cercului său interior, continuă să excludă folosirea ultra-armei.

Maia Sandu a  câștigat clar cel de-al doilea tur al alegerilor prezidențiale și se pregătește să preia cel de-al doilea mandat în fruntea Republicii Moldova. Presa internațională a reacționat imediat remarcând dimensiunea europeană a acestei victorii. ”Pro-europeana Maia Sandu realeasă președinte, un nou eșec pentru Kremlin”, titrează Le Monde.”Victoria foarte clară a șefului statului în funcție îi liniștește pe cei douăzeci și șapte dar și pe cei din Ucraina, într-un context de interferență crescândă a Rusiei în vecinătatea sa”.Kyiv Independent vorbește despre ”un proces electoral încordat ce urmează la scurt timp după alegerile parlamentare larg disputate din Georgia, în care partidul de guvernământ Visul georgian a pretins că a câștigat majoritatea. Partidele pro-europene și monitorii internaționali au pus la îndoială integritatea alegerilor”.În timp ce The Guardian observă că ”poziția Maiei Sandu a fost slăbită după un referendum inițiat chiar de ea, în care moldovenii au fost întrebați dacă susțin integrarea în UE. Acesta a trecut doar cu o mică marjă la 20 octombrie.Rezultatul alegerilor va fi salutat la Bruxelles, la o săptămână după ce Georgia, un alt stat ex-sovietic care speră să adere la UE, a reales un partid considerat de majoritatea țărilor ca fiind din ce în ce mai prietenos cu Moscova și mai autoritar”.Potrivit Politico, ”serviciile de securitate au avertizat cu privire la eforturile Rusiei de a perturba și denatura votul la secțiile de votare din Germania, Rusia și Marea Britanie”.Cu toate acestea, ”Maia Sandu, este pe cale să-și asigure încă patru ani în funcție, în urma scrutinului de duminică, în ciuda acuzațiilor larg răspândite că Moscova a lucrat pentru a influența votul împotriva ei”.Citeste siMaia Sandu a câștigat al doilea mandat de președinte al R.Moldova.”Am dovedit că uniți reușim să-i învingem pe cei care voiau să ne îngenuncheze”Reuters notează că ”victoria fostei consiliere a Băncii Mondiale, în vârstă de 52 de ani, care a accelerat eforturile națiunii de a părăsi orbita Moscovei și de a adera la Uniunea Europeană, este văzută de susținătorii săi ca o confirmare a cursului hotărât pro-occidental pe care l-a urmat.Dar dominația lui Stoianoglo în unele părți ale țării sugerează că partidul ei se confruntă cu o provocare grea la alegerile parlamentare cheie din vara viitoare, care vor decide componența guvernului”.Potrivit Sky News, ”Maia Sandu a susținut efortul Moldovei de a adera la UE până în 2030, în timp ce dl Stoianoglo a spus că, în calitate de președinte, și el va sprijini integrarea în UE, dar va dezvolta și legături cu Rusia în interes național.Firstpost constată că, ”pentru mulți moldoveni, președintele pro-occidental Maia Sandu, care a câștigat un al doilea mandat în alegerile prezidențiale cruciale împotriva unui rival pro-rus, a devenit un simbol al schimbării, pe măsură ce ea încearcă să deschidă o cale nouă, pro-europeană pentru fosta republică sovietică”.Iar Euronews amintește că ”deplasarea bruscă spre vest a Moldovei a supărat Moscova și a înrăutățit semnificativ relațiile cu Chișinăul.De atunci, autoritățile moldovenești au acuzat în repetate rânduri Rusia că duc un vast „război hibrid”, de la campanii extinse de dezinformare la proteste ale partidelor pro-Rusia până la scheme de cumpărare a voturilor care subminează alegerile la nivel național.Rusia a negat orice amestec”.

Potrivit unor videoclipuri difuzate de Centrul Ucrainean pentru Comunicare Strategică, soldații nord-coreeni s-ar afla deja pe teritoriul Rusiei, pregătindu-se să intre în luptă împotriva Ucrainei. Imaginile îi arată cum primesc uniforme pe un teren de antrenament din estul îndepărtat. Comentatorii se tem de această internaționalizare a războiului. După cum scrie Le Monde, ”războiul din Ucraina se pregătește să treacă un nou prag, cu implicarea directă a unei țări terțe, Coreea de Nord, stârnind temeri cu privire la o escaladare fără precedent de la invazia rusă din februarie 2022. Un total de 12.000 de soldați nord-coreeni din patru brigăzi, inclusiv forțe speciale, se așteaptă să fie dislocați”.”Desfăşurarea trupelor nord-coreene în războiul din Ucraina este un pas periculos în războiul în curs”, apreciază și Firstpost.  ”Legăturile militare strânse dintre Rusia și Coreea de Nord s-au extins dincolo de furnizarea de provizii militare, până la desfășurarea efectivă a trupelor. Aceasta reprezintă o amenințare gravă pentru securitatea Coreei de Sud și a comunității internaționale”.The Independent amintește că ”parteneriatul strategic al Coreei de Nord cu Moscova s-a adâncit semnificativ de când Kim a călătorit în Rusia pentru o vizită rară în străinătate, în cursul anului trecut.Putin a vizitat apoi Nordul în acest an, iar cei doi lideri au semnat un pact de apărare.Nordul ar primi fonduri rusești pentru trimiterea de trupe în prima linie ucraineană, bani de care Phenianul are nevoie pentru a-și construi forța nucleară, a declarat directorul unei firme de analiză de securitate, Korea Risk Group.Într-o dovadă de sprijin, Rusia a respins în martie o rezoluție a ONU. Rezultatul a fost încetarea efectivă a supravegherii de către experții ONU a sancțiunilor Consiliului de Securitate împotriva Coreei de Nord – ceea ce a generat acuzații occidentale că Moscova acționează pentru a-și proteja achizițiile de arme de la Phenian spre a alimenta războiul din Ucraina”.Citeste siMark Rutte: Trimiterea de trupe nord-coreene în Ucraina ar duce la escaladarea conflictului”Mai presus de toate, desfășurarea în Ucraina ar oferi Phenianului un atu de neprețuit: experiența de luptă”, notează Le Figaro.  ”Desfășurarea de forțe speciale, sau chiar de infanteriști, i-ar oferi Phenianului o valoare adăugată împotriva rivalului său din sud, în timp ce armata Nordului nu a experimentat calvarul focului de zeci de ani. Un factor care intrigă Seulul, într-un moment în care Kim Jong-un își sporește avertismentele amenințătoare la adresa Coreei de Sud, descrisă acum drept stat ostil”.Este un semnal de alarmă, crede ziarul neerlandez De Volkskrant: „Aliații trebuie să își îmbunătățească structura sprijinului și să invite Ucraina să se alăture NATO. Când vine vorba de apărarea activă a libertății, Ucraina înseamnă „mai mult NATO” decât mulți aliați, care văd apartenența doar ca pe o sursă gratuită de securitate.Nici ucrainenii nu văd altă cale de reconstrucție decât prin descurajarea colectivă a forțelor lui Putin. Dar încă nu am văzut ca asta să se întâmple. Ar fi tragedia supremă pentru Ucraina dacă „Occidentul Liber” căruia vrea să i se alăture, s-ar dovedi inexistent.”

Il fenomeno dei nomadi digitali è globale, ma di recente si è osservato il tentativo da parte di molti paesi asiatici di attrarre questo tipo di lavoratori. Si tratta di persone che che lavorano da remoto, in smart working. E anziché farlo da casa propria, nella propria città decidono di trasferirsi in un altro paese che possa garantire alcune cose: basso costo della vita, connessioni wi-fi a prova di bomba, e se possibile location impressionanti per la loro bellezza. Proprio quello che molti paesi asiatici sembrano poter offrire.

Claudia Sheinbaum bliver den første kvindelige præsident i Mexico, og det er ikke det eneste historiske ved hende. Hun og den afgående præsident, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, har skabt stor debat i Mexico med gennemførelsen af en verdenshistorisk retsreform, som betyder, at alle dommere skal fyres og fremover vælges ved demokratiske valg. Retsreformen har fået tusindvis af mexicanere på gaden, og i onsdags gik det så vidt, at demonstranterne stormede senatet for at vise deres utilfredshed. Retsreformen har samtidig fået kritik fra den amerikanske ambassadør i landet, og det har nu skabt en nabostrid mellem de to tæt forbundne lande.  Hvordan vil Claudia Sheinbaum ændre Mexico som den første kvindelige præsident i landet? Og hvad kommer retsreformen til at betyde for forholdet mellem Mexico og USA?  Gæst: Aksel Strandbygaard, journalist bosat i MexicoVært: Jacob GrosenTilrettelæggelse: Mathias Bonde og Pernille SkytteKlip og produktion: Nicolai DupontFoto: Henry Romero / Reuters Der er lånt klip fra Firstpost, AP og ReutersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Primele avioane de luptă F-16, de fabricație americană, au fost livrate Ucrainei de aliați vest-europeni. Comentatorii analizează modul în care sosirea acestor echipamente va putea schimba echilibrul de forțe de pe teren, unde partea ucraineană se confruntă cu dificultăți în stoparea avansului rusesc, în regiunea Donbas. ”După luni de lobby intens asupra aliaților săi occidentali, Ucraina a primit un număr nedezvăluit de avioane de luptă fabricate în SUA de la doi membri NATO, Danemarca și Țările de Jos”, informează Politico.”Mai multe țări occidentale, inclusiv greii NATO, Franța și Statele Unite, au început să antreneze piloți ucraineni pe avioanele F-16. Kievul  și-a presat aliații să accelereze ritmul antrenamentelor. Parisul s-a angajat, de asemenea, să furnizeze Ucrainei propriile sale avioane de luptă Mirage 2000”.Potrivit Reuters, rămâne neclar cu ce fel de rachete sunt echipate avioanele. O rază mai mare de acțiune le-ar permite să aibă un impact mai mare pe câmpul de luptă, spun analiștii militari.Zelenski a spus că speră, de asemenea, ca prin platforma Consiliului Ucraina-NATO, să facă lobby asupra țărilor vecine aliate pentru a ajuta la interceptarea rachetelor rusești lansate asupra Ucrainei.Le Monde vorbește despre  ”incertitudinile unui război de uzură” și estimează că aceste dispozitive de fabricație americană nu vor fi suficiente pentru a schimba echilibrul de forțe de pe teren:”Dacă F-16 pot, de exemplu, să permită Kievului să lovească forțele rusești la sol în spatele celor 900 de kilometri ai liniei frontului, nu este garantat că vor putea neutraliza rapid avioanele Moscovei care au continuat, inclusiv luni, să arunce bombe devastatoare asupra Ucrainei.Aliații au promis livrarea a 90 de avioane, dar această sarcină se întinde pe mai mulți ani. Statele Unite s-au angajat, de asemenea, să echipeze aceste F-16 cu un volum suficient de arme, dar va rămâne la latitudinea aliaților să fie de acord să ofere restul prin achiziționarea acestor muniții de la americani”.Citeste siReuters: Avioanele F-16 nu sunt o soluție magică pentru Ucraina în războiul cu RusiaDaily Express vede o o mare problemă: în prezent Ucraina nu are destui piloți pregătiți pentru avioanele F-16.”Un avion de luptă F-16 costă în jur de 50 de milioane de lire sterline. Avioanele s-ar putea dovedi factori cheie în apărarea împotriva bombelor Rusiei. Moscova a aruncat nu mai puțin de 3.000 de bombe începând din martie.Trupele Kievului pierd teren în regiunea Donețk, dar au dat o lovitură crucială împotriva rușilor de pe mare”.Firstpost consideră totuși că livrarea avioanelor de luptă F-16 în Ucraina este crucială.”Capacitățile F-16 permit Ucrainei să țină mai multe ținte rusești în pericol și, la rândul său, să câștige mai multe pârghii în război și la masa de negocieri”, se arată într-un raport al Centrului de Studii Strategice și Internaționale (CSIS) publicat în Iunie.Avioanele vor contribui, de asemenea, la întărirea apărării Ucrainei împotriva atacurilor rusești, prin interceptarea rachetelor și a dronelor și țintirea avioanelor care au lovit pozițiile ucrainene în ultimele luni.Dar chiar și cu avantajele lor, avioanele de luptă vor opera pe ceruri aprig disputate. Piloții ucraineni de F-16 se vor înfrunta cu straturi formidabile de apărare aeriană rusă, având opțiuni limitate de a ataca pozițiile inamice, potrivit think-tank-ului britanic de apărare RUSI”.

Astăzi are loc ceremonia de deschidere a Jocurilor Olimpice de la Paris. Presa internațională urmărește cu atenție evenimentele și ridică două mari întrebări. Una este legată de integritatea jocurilor, în contextul scandalurilor de dopaj. Cealaltă privește securitatea. După cum citim în The Conversation, peste1.000 de profesioniști vor participa la diferitele etape ale acestei lupte împotriva dopajului. Aproximativ 800 vor acționa ca însoțitori pentru a informa sportivii și a-i acompania pe tot parcursul procesului.”Fiecare locație de competiție va avea un spațiu specific pentru aceste controale, în care aproximativ 360 de agenți vor efectua analize de sânge și urină sportivilor conform Standardului Internațional de Controale și Investigații (ISTI)”.CNN vorbește despre furia înotătorilor față de presupusul scandal de dopaj din China înainte de Jocurile Olimpice:”Încă de când The New York Times raporta în aprilie că 23 de înotători chinezi fuseseră testați pozitiv pentru aceeași substanță interzisă înainte de Jocurile Olimpice de la Tokyo, dar li sa permis să concureze, resentimentele și frustrarea au clocotit în bazine. Unsprezece dintre acești înotători chinezi urmează să concureze din nou la Paris, iar mulți dintre rivalii lor se pregătesc să lupte împotriva lor cu un sentiment de resemnare amară.Înotătorii chinezi au fost testați pozitiv cu medicamentul interzis Trimetazidină cu câteva luni înainte de Jocurile Olimpice de la Tokyo din 2021, dar Agenția Anti-Doping a Chinei (CHINADA) a declarat că era vorba despre o concentrație „extrem de scăzută”, deoarece medicamentul a fost ingerat accidental prin intermediul unor alimente contaminate”.Citeste siUn atac cibernetic rusesc în timpul ceremoniei de deschidere a JO nu este exclusJocurile Olimpice de la Paris 2024 sunt în pericol? – se întrebă Firstpost.”De la teroarea Statului islamic, la Rusia, mari amenințări planează la adresa Jocurilor. Cu lideri mondiali, sportivi de top și atâția vizitatori la Paris, alerta teroristă este la cel mai înalt nivel.Mai multe comploturi extremiste – inclusiv unul săptămâna trecută – au fost dejucate. Și a existat o preocupare tot mai mare cu privire la creșterea extremismului în Europa, în special după alegerile anticipate din Franța”.Times of Israel, scrie că 15 dintre cei 88 de sportivi israelieni calificați la Jocurile Olimpice „au primit mesaje de amenințare prin e-mail sau telefon. „Dacă veniți, să știți că intenționăm să repetăm ​​evenimentele de la München 1972”, se spunea în aceste mesaje.”Un cerc de oțel este pus la punct pentru ceremonia de deschidere a Jocurilor Olimpice, cu până la 75.000 de polițiști, soldați și agenți de securitate în alertă maximă”, notează Evening Standard.”Organizatorii și oficialii guvernamentali au adoptat ceea ce ei numesc o abordare „risc zero”, cu cea mai mare desfășurare de personal de securitate în timp de pace din istoria Franței. Potrivit estimărilor, costul securității ar putea depăși cu mult un miliard de lire sterline, cât s-a cheltuit pentru Londra 2012”.

Presa internațională reacționează după ce sentinţa procesului penal al lui Donald Trump cu privire la plăţile către actriţa porno Stormy Daniels, a fost amânată la 18 septembrie.  Este un prim efect concret al hotărârii Curţii Supreme, care a extins imunitatea prezidențială, observă comentatorii. Nu lipsesc semnalele de alarmă cu privire la viitorul democrației americane. ”Amânarea sentinței până cel puțin pe 18 septembrie o plasează cu mult după Convenția Națională Republicană din această lună, unde Trump urmează să accepte oficial nominalizarea partidului pentru funcția de președinte în cursa din acest an”, transmite ABC News.”Procurorii au spus că plata către Daniels face parte dintr-o schemă mai amplă de a cumpăra tăcerea persoanelor care ar fi putut face publice povești jenante în timpul campaniei.Fostul avocat al lui Trump, Michael Cohen, i-a plătit lui Daniels și a fost mai târziu rambursat de Trump, a cărui companie a înregistrat rambursările drept cheltuieli legale.Falsificarea înregistrărilor comerciale este pedepsită cu până la patru ani după gratii, deși experții în drept spun că pedeapsa maximă este foarte puțin probabilă în cazul lui Trump”.Dar ce este imunitatea prezidențială? USA Today oferă câteva explicații:”Nu există nimic în Constituție care să ofere președinților imunitate în procedurile judiciare civile sau penale, dar au existat și alte decizii ale Curții Supreme care au creat precedentul a ceea ce considerăm ca fiind imunitatea prezidențială.Imunitatea prezidențială este atunci când un președinte în exercițiu are atât imunitate civilă, cât și penală pentru acțiunile legate de îndatoririle oficiale ale președintelui, inclusiv cele din „perimetrul exterior” al acestor atribuții. Această imunitate nu se extinde la comportamentul neoficial, comportamentul criminal și comportamentul care a avut loc înainte de a deveni președinte”.Experți citați de Firstpost oferă câteva exemple:”Ordonă el unor forțe speciale să asasineze un rival politic? Imun. Organizează o lovitură de stat militară pentru a păstra puterea? Imun. Ia mită în schimbul unei grațieri? Imun”.Un alt expert afirmă că ”decizia oferă o foaie de parcurs pentru ca un lider american să evite urmărirea penală pentru o anumită acțiune, pur și simplu prin împletirea acesteia cu acțiunile oficiale ale guvernului.Iar acțiunile oficiale ale președintelui și acțiunile neoficiale sunt atât de des împletite”.Un principiu esențial pus sub semnul întrebăriiIar Le Monde comentează că, prin extinderea imunității prezidențiale, ”cel mai înalt organ judiciar din țară pune sub semnul întrebării un principiu esențial al democrației americane: nimeni nu este mai presus de lege”.Și aceasta,  ”în timp ce Donald Trump nu-și ascunde intențiile sale de a-și regla conturile cu toți cei care i-au blocat tentativa de lovitură de stat”.Potrivit ziarului francez, ”sentința nu va face decât să întărească neîncrederea majorității americanilor față de cel mai înalt organ judiciar din Statele Unite, a cărui imagine este deja la cel mai scăzut nivel.Prăbușirea Curții Supreme a Statelor Unite a fost confirmată anul acesta de un număr record de hotărâri adoptate doar de judecătorii conservatori. Această derivă este produsul unei strategii pe termen lung care vizează promovarea judecătorilor considerați a fi cei mai intransigenți apărători ai unei lecturi strict conservatoare a textelor.Eliminarea protecției federale pentru avort în 2022 și-a pus deja amprenta. Cecul în alb acordat lui Donald Trump confirmă o orbire ale cărei victime colaterale sunt democrația și statul de drept”.

It is fairly obvious that the dominant, i.e. Western mechanism for generating new knowledge is rather different from the traditional Indian mechanism, and this shows up in all sorts of ways. One is that Indian epistemology seems to be empirical and practical, based on observation; whereas the Western tradition seems to prefer grand theories that must then be proved by observation.Another difference is the Western idea that Intellectual Property is a private right that the State confers on an inventor or a creator. The Western gaze is fixed on the potential monetary gains from a monopoly over the use of the IP Right (for a fixed period of time, after which it is in the public domain): the argument is that it eventually helps everybody, while incentivizing the clever. The Indian concept is vastly different. It was assumed that a creator created, or an inventor invented, as a result of their innate nature, their god-given gifts. In a way they could not avoid being creative or inventive, which would be a negation of the blessing they had received from the Supreme Brahman. Therefore no further incentive was needed: benevolent patrons like kings or temples would take care of their basic needs, allowing them to give free rein to creativity and innovation.This seems to us today to be a radical idea, because we have been conditioned by the contemporary epistemological idea that incentives are a necessary condition for knowledge creation. Although this seems common-sensical, there is no real evidence that this is true. Petra Moser, then at MIT, discovered via comparing 19th century European countries that the presence of an IPR culture with incentives made little difference in the quantum of innovation, although it seemed to change the domains that were the most innovative.. In fact, there is at least one counter-example: that of Open Source in computing. It boggles the imagination that veritable armies of software developers would work for free, nights and weekends, in addition to their full-time jobs, and develop computing systems like Linux that are better than the corporate versions out there: the whole “Cathedral and Bazaar” story as articulated by Eric Raymond. Briefly, he argues that the chaotic ‘bazaar' of open source is inherently superior to the regimented but soul-less ‘cathedral' of the big tech firms.It is entirely possible that the old Indian epistemological model is efficient, but the prevailing model of WIPO, national Patent Offices, and all that paraphernalia massively benefits the Western model. As an example, the open-source model was predicted to make a big difference in biology, but that effort seems to have petered out after a promising start. Therefore we are stuck for the foreseeable future with the IP model, which means Indians need to excel at it.In passing, let us note that the brilliant Jagdish Chandra Bose was a pioneer in the wireless transmission of information, including the fundamental inventions that make cellular telephony possible. However, as a matter of principle, he refused to patent his inventions; Guglielmo Marconi did, and became rich and famous. India has traditionally been quite poor in the number of patents, trademarks, copyrights, geographical indications, semiconductor design layouts etc. that it produces annually. Meanwhile the number of Chinese patents has skyrocketed. Over the last few years, the number of Indian patents has grown as the result of focused efforts by the authorities, as well as the realization by inventors that IP rights can help startup firms dominate niche markets. India also produces a lot of creative works, including books, films, music and so on. The enforcement of copyright laws has been relatively poor, and writers and artistes often do not get fair compensation for their work. This is deplorable. Unfortunately, things will get a lot worse with generative AI. Most of us have heard of, and probably also tried out, the chatbots that have been the object of much attention and hype in the past year, such as chatGPT from OpenAI/Microsoft and Bard from Google. Whether these are truly useful is a good question, because they seduce us into thinking they are conscious, despite the fact that they are merely ‘stochastic parrots'. But I digress.The point is that the digital revolution has thrown the edifice of copyright law into disarray. At the forefront of this upheaval stands generative AI, a technology with the uncanny ability to mimic and extend human creative output. Consider two stark examples: the contentious case of J.K. Rowling and her copyright battle with a Harry Potter-inspired fanfic, and the recent Japanese law that grants broad exemptions for training large language models (LLMs). J.K. Rowling's spat with Anna M. Bricken, the author of a Harry Potter fanfic titled "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Wine," ignited a global debate about fair use and transformative creativity. Bricken's work reimagined the Potterverse with an adult lens, but Rowling, citing trademark infringement, sought to have it taken down. While the case eventually settled, it exposed a fundamental dilemma: can AI-generated works, even if derivative, be considered distinct enough from their source material to warrant copyright protection? The answer, shrouded in legal ambiguity, leaves creators navigating a tightrope walk between inspiration and infringement.On the other side of the globe, Japan enacted a law in 2022 that further muddies the waters. This controversial regulation grants LLMs and other AI systems an almost carte blanche to ingest and remix copyrighted material for training purposes without seeking permission or paying royalties. While proponents laud it as a catalyst for AI innovation, critics warn of widespread copyright infringement and a potential future where authorship becomes a nebulous concept. The Japanese law, echoing anxieties around J.K. Rowling's case, raises unsettling questions: who owns the creative spark when AI fuels the fire?For India, a nation at the precipice of the AI revolution, these developments raise crucial questions. With a burgeoning AI industry and a large creative sector, India must tread carefully. Adapting existing copyright laws to encompass the nuances of AI-generated works is paramount. Robust fair use guidelines that incentivize transformative creativity while safeguarding original authorship are urgently needed. Furthermore, fostering ethical AI development practices that respect intellectual property rights is crucial.The debate surrounding AI and copyright is not merely a legal tussle; it's a battle for the very definition of creativity. In this fight, India has the opportunity to carve a path that balances innovation with artistic integrity. By acknowledging the complexities of AI while upholding the cornerstone principles of copyright, India can become a global leader in navigating the uncharted territory of digital authorship. The future of creativity, fueled by both human imagination and AI's boundless potential, hangs in the balance, and India has the chance to shape its trajectory.Disclaimer: The last few paragraphs above were written by Google Bard, and lightly edited. A chatbot can produce coherent text, but it may be, and often is, completely wrong (‘hallucinations'). Now who owns the copyright to this text? Traditionally, it would be owned by me and Firstpost, but what is the right answer now? Would we be responsible for any errors introduced by the AI?On the other hand, the ‘mining' of text, audio/video and images to train generative AI is an increasingly contentious issue. As an example, the New York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft, arguing that they weren't being paid anywhere near the fair market value of their text that the tech companies mined. This sounds familiar to Indians, because Westerners have been ‘digesting' Indian ideas for a long time. Some of the most egregious examples were patents on basmati, turmeric and neem, which are absurd considering that these have been in use in India for millennia. The fact that these were documented in texts (‘prior art') enabled successful challenges against them.An even more alarming fact is the capture and ‘digestion' (a highly evocative term from Rajiv Malhotra, who has warned of the dangers of AI for years) of Indian personal and medical data. Unlike China, which carefully firewalls away its data from Western Big Tech, and indeed, does not even allow them to function in their country, Indian personal data is being freely mined by US Big Tech. India's Data Privacy laws, being debated now, need to be considered defensive weapons.Paradoxically, there is also the concern that Indic knowledge will, for all intents and purposes, disappear from the domain of discourse. Since the chatbots are trained on the uncurated Internet, they are infected by the Anglosphere prejudices and bigotry therein, not to mention deliberate misinformation and ‘toolkits' that are propagated. Since most Indic concepts are either not very visible, or denigrated, on the Internet (eg Wikipedia), chatbots are not even aware of them. For instance, a doctor friend and I published an essay in Open magazine comparing allopathy to generative AI, because both are stochastic (ie. based on statistics). We mentioned Ayurveda positively several times, because it has a theory of disease that makes it more likely to work with causation rather than correlation.However, when the article summarized by chatGPT, there was no mention whatsoever of the word ‘Ayurveda'. It is as though such a concept does not exist, which may in fact be true in the sense that it is deprecated in the training data that the chatbot was trained on.One solution is to create Indian foundational models that can then become competent in specific domains of interest: for example an Arthashastra chatbot. These can also be trained, if sufficient data sets are created, on Indian languages as well, which could incidentally support real-time machine translation as well. Thus there can be an offensive as well as a defensive strategy to enable Indic knowledge systems to thrive.India is at a point of crisis, but also of opportunity. If India were to harness some of the leading-edge technologies of today, it might once again become a global leader in knowledge generation, as it was a millennium ago with its great universities. 1680 words, Jan 10, 2024 This is a public episode.

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo', confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo' desta terça-feira (12/09/2023): A decisão do ministro do STF Dias Toffoli de anular todas as provas do acordo de leniência da Odebrecht “extrapolou os limites legais”, na visão da Associação Nacional de Procuradores da República (ANPR). Na semana passada, em despacho com críticas à atuação de procuradores e da Vara da Justiça Federal comandada pelo então juiz Sérgio Moro, Toffoli anulou as principais provas sobre pagamentos de propina pela Odebrecht para políticos. E ainda pediu que fossem instaurados processos contra os investigadores da Lava Jato. Ontem, a ANPR preparava recurso ao STF em que ataca aspectos técnicos da decisão por temer que outros processos sejam afetados pelo despacho de Toffoli. Para a entidade, o processo julgado de maneira isolada não poderia avançar em questões disciplinares.

In our latest episode, Greeshma discusses the surprising defeat of the BJP by the Congress in the Karnataka elections.  This episode aims to explore the cultural realities of Karnataka, going beyond the usual analyses of voter demographics and factors favoring one party over the other. Our guest, Greeshma, will shed light on why the BJP and RSS lost the election but still maintain influence in the cultural landscape. We delve into the historical context and the power of the Sangh ideology within Karnataka, which even impacts the functioning of Congress. This thought-provoking podcast goes beyond surface-level discussions of electoral victories and losses, examining the intricate dynamics shaping the cultural war in the state. Join us for a stimulating conversation that uncovers unique perspectives and insights, broadening our understanding of Karnataka's cultural fabric. Greeshma Kuthar practised law before transitioning to a career in media. She served as the head of the social media team at Firstpost. During her time there, she authored an 18-part series on the rise of Hindu nationalism in southern Coastal Karnataka and wrote investigative reports on emerging RSS leaders, including Pragya Singh Thakur. Following her tenure at Firstpost, she has been engaged in research and writing about how RSS propagates Cultural Nationalism across southern India. Her most recent work is the cover story for The Caravan titled "All Santhosh's Men: The BJP's re-engineering of Karnataka."

Do you know the meaning behind the phrase "Chay Lee Chee Nee"? It is a phrase that changed the course of history for many Indians who were recruited, coerced, or tricked into signing Indentured Contracts. They were seen as a suitable replacement for Chattel Slavery: a population that could be easily controlled and manipulated to work tirelessly in the Sugar Plantations across the Caribbean. Many were promised easy money and a better life, but the truth was far from it. With little to no education or experience beyond their North Indian villages, many were led to believe that they were headed to the promised land. But in reality, many had unknowingly signed away their freedom. The phrase "Chay Lee Chee Nee" represents the beginning of a harsh journey for our ancestors that we must never forget. So join us as we celebrate the resilience and perseverance of the Indo-Caribbean community in Episode 3 of the Peppa Pot: Chay Lee Chee Nee!   Follow and connect with The Peppa Pot Podcast online, we'd love to hear from you!

Jacqueline Fernandez is best known as a Bollywood actress and model of Sri Lankan descent, who very recently has been accused of receiving funds from a conman and allegedly being involved in money laundering.  Jacqueline has been accused by the Enforcement Directorate of India of both financial impropriety and destruction of evidence. But did she also commit the unforgivable crime of falling in love? As a FirstPost article from July 2022 says about Jacqueline and alleged lover Sukesh Chandrashekar -- "Love knows no bar". Between December 2021 to today, Jacqueline has been called in a bunch of times for questioning by the Enforcement Directorate over her involvement in potential money laundering by Sukesh.  She was questioned over whether she was given gifts or other items by the conman in question, likely totally about tens of crores of Indian rupees. She has been prevented from travelling out of India, which has impeded her professional and personal life, leading to a PR nightmare and her being removed from high-budget movie projects.  She was charged officially for working with Sukesh to convert his black money holdings into legitimate assets.  Oh and of course, since she is a woman, her character has been called into question through sheer gossip and rumours, most of which remain unconnected to the story at hand.  Jacqueline was already a very famous face. But this case took her to a whole other level of infamy.

In 2016, Ashley J. Tellis published an important paper in which he unpacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for India to become a leading, rather than a balancing, power on the global stage. This call reflected an important change in how the country's top political leadership conceived of its role in international politics.In the years following, Ashley and a group of collaborators have been working to flesh out what becoming a leading power would actually mean in practice. Their findings have finally been published in a new volume, Grasping Greatness: Making India a Leading Power, edited by Ashley along with Bibek Debroy and C. Raja Mohan.Ashley holds the Tata Chair for Strategic Affairs at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. On the show this week, Ashley joins Milan to talk about his latest project. He and Milan discuss India's internal debate about its growing global role, the ideological constraints to realizing India's economic potential, and lingering doubts about India's liberal commitments. Plus, the two discuss whether India's incremental pace of reforms is a harm or a hindrance to its wider ambitions. Ashley J. Tellis, “Grasping Greatness: Making India a Leading Power,” in Ashley J.
