In aflevering 13 van de PZC Voetbal Podcast is Goes-trainer Giovanni Siereveld te gast. Presentator Juriën Dam en sportjournalist Barry van der Hooft praten met de coach van de derdedivisionist over tal van onderwerpen. Kloetinge veroverde dit weekend de periodetitel en Rudy Boogert (Rudestats) geeft in de uitzending aan waarom dit zomaar eens heel nadelig zou kunnen zijn. Bij de koploper liep Giovanni vorig seizoen stage in het kielzog van trainer Rogier Veenstra. Welk voorbeeld vond hij het meest opvallende over diens aanpak? Na het voltooien van zijn trainersopleiding en tal van bijkomende buddy-bezoeken staat Giovanni dit seizoen op eigen benen. Hij zag zijn elftal winnen van ASWH, mede doordat Sjoerd Verhulst goed naar Barry had geluisterd in de podcast van vorige week. Met de oefenmeester gaat het over het trainersvak maar ook over menselijkheid, waarbij hij spreekt over het fenomeen ‘strakke gast’. Ook gaat het nog even over kruiden uit Angola die hij een speler onlangs voorschreef. Ook was Barry dit weekend bij Hoek, waar het woord ‘opstelling’ heel vaak werd uitgesproken. Het zijn gloriedagen op ‘Denoek’, ziet ook Giovanni, die het niveau nog hoger vindt dan in zijn tijd als Hoek-speler. Er wordt vooruitgeblikt op de bekerclash tussen Hoek en profclub FC Eindhoven en ook wordt er al uitgekeken naar het weekendvoetbal van volgend seizoen in de tweede en derde klasse.

Portugal : les déracinés des indépendances africaines  5 pays africains : l'Angola, le Cap-Vert, la Guinée-Bissau, le Mozambique et São Tomé et Principe, commémorent cette année les 50 ans de leur indépendance. Les guerres coloniales se sont arrêtées avec la chute du régime autoritaire de Salazar en 74, et la révolution démocratique du 25 avril. Les guerres civiles et les soubresauts politiques des anciennes colonies poussent toujours hommes et femmes vers l'ancien pays colonisateur.

Le quotidien des migrants subsahariens au Maroc Au Maroc, la région d'Agadir dans le sud-ouest du pays, concentre une part importante des travailleurs migrants irréguliers. Ils seraient plus de 10 000, selon les ONG, parmi ces subsahariens entre 90 000 et 300 000, qui y font escale. Beaucoup d'autres poursuivent leur migration vers l'Europe. Ils se sont installés dans ce que certains surnomment le « potager de l'Europe » : 20 000 hectares de serres où fruits et légumes poussent toute l'année. Sans papiers, ils sont mal payés, travaillent dur et s'intègrent très difficilement. Même si des associations sont présentes.

O ano de 2025 estará para sempre no coração do povo de Cabo Verde. Além da celebração dos 50 anos da independência do arquipélago africano, a seleção de futebol do país garantiu pela primeira vez na sua história uma vaga para uma Copa do Mundo. Cabo Verde, o ponto mais ocidental da África localizado a quase 600 quilômetros da costa oeste do continente, será uma das três seleções estreantes classificadas até esse momento para a Copa de 2026, ao lado de Jordânia e Uzbequistão. Marcio Arruda e Ligia Anjos, da RFI em Paris Depois de garantir uma vaga para a seleção cabo-verdiana na Copa do Mundo de 2026 na última Data Fifa, o técnico Pedro Leitão Brito, conhecido desde a época de jogador como Bubista, falou sobre a celebração da conquista da vaga para o Mundial na época em que o país comemora o cinquentenário da independência. O treinador também contou como transformou seu grupo em uma seleção vitoriosa. "Por sermos um país pequeno, precisamos ter a ideia de que se o jogador trabalhar duro e tiver resiliência, terá condições de chegar a patamares superiores. A nossa equipe ultrapassou obstáculos para conseguir a classificação para a Copa", disse o técnico. "No início, havia muita desconfiança, mas, com o passar do tempo, fomos ficando cada vez mais unidos. Sempre tivemos o objetivo da classificação e trabalhamos em cima disso. Todo mundo fez a sua parte. Mas não é uma conquista individual; é uma classificação desse grupo, da seleção e da torcida. O povo cabo-verdiano está extremamente feliz com essa classificação, até porque estamos comemorando os 50 anos da nossa independência; então, juntou tudo para que fosse uma grande festa", contou. Estrangeiros de Cabo Verde A seleção comandada por Bubista mescla experiência, com o goleiro Vozinha de 39 anos, e juventude, com o artilheiro Livramento, de 24 anos. Também conta com muitos jogadores nascidos fora de Cabo Verde, como os franceses Willy Semedo e Logan Costa, os portugueses Bruno Varela e Telmo Arcanjo e os holandeses Deroy Duarte e Dailon Livramento. Cabo Verde teve uma campanha com sete vitórias, dois empates e apenas uma derrota, eliminando os favoritos Camarões e Angola no grupo D das eliminatórias africanas. Nos cinco jogos que disputou em casa, a equipe não tomou gol. Mesmo tendo se classificado em primeiro no grupo, o técnico Bubista destacou a importância do aumento do número de vagas para a próxima Copa do Mundo, que passará de 32 para 48 seleções. "A meu ver, o aumento do número de seleções na Copa do Mundo é um alívio grande para as seleções da África. Antigamente, você passava em primeiro lugar no grupo e ainda tinha de jogar um playoff extremamente difícil. Com o aumento no número de vagas, você consegue o primeiro lugar do grupo e garante a classificação. Isso estimula países a fazer mais investimentos em suas seleções", explicou o treinador. África do Sul, Argélia, Costa do Marfim, Egito, Gana, Tunísia – que vai enfrentar o Brasil em amistoso no mês que vem em Lille, na França –, Marrocos e Senegal, além de Cabo Verde, são as seleções africanas que já garantiram vagas na Copa do Mundo de 2026. Leia tambémOfensivo, Brasil de Ancelotti goleia a Coreia do Sul por 5 a 0, ganha elogios e empolga A África ainda pode ter mais uma seleção no Mundial do próximo ano. Camarões, República Democrática do Congo, Nigéria e Gabão disputam em novembro, no Marrocos, uma vaga na repescagem. “É uma satisfação grande para mim e para o continente ter nove seleções numa Copa. E ainda temos a possibilidade de ter mais uma”, disse. Com nove ou dez seleções, os africanos podem surpreender no Mundial. Perguntado se os tubarões azuis, como a seleção de Cabo Verde é conhecida, vão longe na Copa, o técnico tratou de calçar as sandálias da humildade e chutar a responsabilidade para outras equipes. “Nossa seleção ainda está em formação, mas a África estará bem representada. Há excelentes equipes aqui no continente com condições de jogar de igual para igual ou até mesmo superar qualquer adversário do mundo. Obviamente, sabemos das dificuldades, mas os obstáculos são feitos para serem ultrapassados”, disse. “Todas essas equipes têm jogadores que disputam as melhores competições na Europa, Ásia e América e eles não devem ter receio algum. É só ter confiança e coragem para trabalhar pelos objetivos", completou. Mas o treinador de Cabo Verde reconhece que não será fácil enfrentar seleções da primeira prateleira do futebol mundial. De acordo com o técnico, Cabo Verde pretende deixar a festa de lado e colocar o coração na ponta da chuteira para fazer grandes jogos na América do Norte no ano que vem. "Eu sei que o nível das outras equipes na Copa é extremamente alto. Tenho certeza de que vamos mostrar ao mundo a nossa qualidade e vamos jogar para dignificar o nosso país. Vamos fazer em todos os jogos aquilo que temos feito sempre. Nosso princípio é sempre pontuar", declarou o treinador da seleção. Cabo Verde será o segundo país menos populoso a disputar uma edição de Copa do Mundo. Com uma população de pouco mais de 500 mil habitantes, o país africano perde neste quesito apenas para a Islândia, que tem pouco mais de 300 mil habitantes e jogou a Copa de 2018, na Rússia. "Somos pequenos no mapa, mas com coração grande" Bubista, que foi zagueiro da seleção de Cabo Verde na virada do século, acredita que a classificação para a Copa do Mundo será um marco esportivo no país. O treinador, que assumiu a seleção cabo-verdiana em 2020, acha que o futuro é promissor não só no futebol, mas em outras modalidades esportivas. "Se houver um investimento sério e um trabalho criterioso, temos condições de dar cartas no mundo. Somos pequenos no mapa, mas com coração grande no mundo. Temos tido resultados bastante satisfatórios nos esportes. Temos cada vez mais condições de encontrar jovens atletas com potencial. Tem sido assim em várias modalidades, que recebem investimentos e conquistam bons resultados", opinou Bubista. A Copa do Mundo de 2026 será disputada nos Estados Unidos, México e Canadá a partir de 11 de junho. A grande final será jogada no dia 19 de julho.

Quan hệ hữu nghị truyền thống giữa Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên được “tạo xung lực mới” thông qua chuyến công du Bình Nhưỡng của tổng bí thư Tô Lâm từ ngày 09-11/10/2025 nhưng tạm dừng ở cấp độ chính trị, trao đổi văn hóa và du lịch. Bình Nhưỡng đã phát triển mạnh chương trình tên lửa, kể cả hạt nhân và cho dù có muốn, Hà Nội cũng chỉ dừng ở “ý định thư hợp tác quốc phòng khi điều kiện cho phép”. Bắc Triên Tiên bị Liên Hiệp Quốc trừng phạt vì phát triển chương trình hạt nhân. Còn “Việt Nam không muốn vi phạm các lệnh trừng phạt quốc tế đối với Bắc Triều Tiên” theo nhận định của nhà nghiên cứu Vũ Khang, Khoa Khoa học Chính trị, Đại học Boston (Mỹ), vì Hà Nội đặt trọng tâm vào phát triển kinh tế trong những thập niên gần đây và không ngừng mở rộng mạng lưới đối tác với các nước phương Tây. Cùng với “ngoại giao cây tre”, Việt Nam thể hiện là “bạn” với tất cả các nước, là một quốc gia trung lập, không chọn phe. Và trong chính sách đối ngoại đa phương, Hà Nội coi Bình Nhưỡng là một đối tác quan trọng. Tuy nhiên, “việc này không đồng nghĩa là Việt Nam ủng hộ chương trình hạt nhân hay chính sách chống phương Tây của Bắc Triều Tiên”. Chuyến thăm Bình Nhưỡng của ông Tô Lâm diễn ra chỉ hai tháng sau chuyến công du Seoul còn cho thấy Hà Nội tiếp tục chính sách cân bằng quan hệ và đặt trọng tâm vào việc duy trì ổn định khu vực để phát triển kinh tế và hợp tác với cả hai miền Triều Tiên. Chuyến công du đầu tiên kể từ 18 năm qua mang lại những triển vọng như thế nào cho quan hệ Việt Nam - Bắc Triều Tiên ? Tiến sĩ Vũ Khang, học giả thỉnh giảng, tại Khoa Khoa học Chính trị, Đại học Boston, Mỹ, trả lời một số câu hỏi của RFI Tiếng Việt. RFI : Mối quan hệ giữa Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên trở thành đề tài được chú sau khi nhà lãnh đạo Kim Jong Un mời tổng bí thư đảng Cộng Sản Việt Nam Tô Lâm đến dự 80 thành lập đảng Lao Động Triều Triên và lễ duyệt binh ở Bình Nhưỡng. Năm 2025 cũng đánh dấu 75 năm hai nước thiết lập quan hệ ngoại giao. Tuy nhiên, mối quan hệ này không phải lúc nào cũng suôn sẻ ! Vũ Xuân Khang : Quan hệ Việt Nam-Bắc Triều Tiên thực ra từ sau chiến tranh Lạnh không có nhiều phát triển so với quan hệ Việt Nam-Hàn Quốc. Nói như vậy không có nghĩa là quan hệ Việt-Triều không quan trọng. Trong tình hình chính sách đối ngoại hiện nay của Việt Nam, Bắc Triều Tiên là một trong những đối tác truyền thống của Hà Nội, khi hai nước thiết lập quan hệ ngoại giao kể từ rất sớm, vào tháng 01/1950. Và Bắc Triều Tiên là nước thứ 3 đã thiết lập quan hệ ngoại giao với Việt Nam, chỉ sau Trung Quốc và Liên Xô. Trong chiến tranh chống Mỹ, Bắc Triều Tiên đã cam kết sẽ bảo vệ miền Bắc khỏi các cuộc tấn công của Mỹ và chính họ đã gửi phi công tham chiến, cũng như một lượng lớn khí tài và viện trợ kinh tế cho miền Bắc. Mặc dù quan hệ hai bên đã bị sứt mẻ trong chiến tranh Đông Dương lần 3 khi Bắc Triều Tiên ủng hộ Trung Quốc và Khmer Đỏ chống lại Việt Nam, hai bên đã không có bất kỳ cuộc trao đổi cấp cao nào. Và đó gần như là giai đoạn mà hai bên không muốn nhắc tới. Đọc thêmViệt Nam cố giữ trung lập giữa Hàn Quốc và Bắc Triều Tiên Kể từ năm 1988-1989 đến nay, sau khi Việt Nam rút quân khỏi Cam Bốt, thì hai nước mới bắt đầu có những trao đổi cấp cao trở lại. Tuy nhiên, việc Việt Nam bình thường hóa quan hệ ngoại giao với Hàn Quốc vào năm 1992 đã khiến cho quan hệ Việt Nam-Bắc Triều Tiên tạm thời trở nên đóng băng. Kể từ đầu những năm 2000 trở lại đây, Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên mới bắt đầu nối lại những đàm phán cấp cao do chính Bình Nhưỡng bày tỏ mong muốn là được thử nghiệm các mô hình mở cửa kinh tế như Việt Nam và Trung Quốc đã làm. Có thể thấy là quan hệ giữa Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên kể từ sau Chiến tranh Lạnh không có nhiều phát triển, nhất là quan hệ thương mại gần như nhỏ giọt, chỉ khoảng 20 triệu đô la/năm. Và về quan hệ quân sự, càng không có một chi tiết nào được công bố trên truyền thông. Những năm gần đây, Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên mong muốn tiếp tục nối lại quan hệ ngoại giao sau khi đại dịch Covid-19 làm ảnh hưởng tới trao đổi cấp cao giữa hai nước mà do chủ tịch Bắc Triều Tiên Kim Jong Un đã cố gắng nối lại trong chuyến thăm Hà Nội năm 2019. RFI : Tổng bí thư Tô Lâm là nhà lãnh đạo đảng thứ 3 đến thăm Bắc Triều Tiên trong 75 năm qua, lần gần đây nhất là chuyến thăm của tổng bí thư Nông Đức Mạnh năm 2007. Vậy chuyến công du này có ý nghĩa như thế nào ? Vũ Xuân Khang : Cần phải nói rõ là trong những năm gần đây, vì những lý do về kinh tế, về đại dịch nên Bắc Triều Tiên đã đóng cửa rất nhiều đại sứ quán và lãnh sự quán ở các nước đối tác truyền thống khác, như Uganda, Angola, Nepal, Senegal, Bangladesh, Hồng Kông, và Tây Ban Nha… nhưng họ vẫn duy trì hiện diện ở Việt Nam. Điều này cho thấy Bắc Triều Tiên vẫn nhìn nhận Việt Nam như là một đối tác rất quan trọng ở Đông Nam Á. Và trong những năm gần đây, cho dù hai nước không gặp nhau trực tiếp do đại dịch Covid-19, nhưng vẫn có những thư mừng hoặc những lời chúc mừng trong giai đoạn hai nước tổ chức Đại hội Đảng. Đặc biệt kể từ năm 2024, hai nước bắt đầu thực sự nối lại các cuộc gặp mặt cấp cao như chuyến thăm Việt Nam của ông Kim Song Nam, trưởng ban quốc tế trung ương của Đảng Lao động Triều Tiên, vào tháng 03/2024. Việt Nam cũng đã gửi thứ trưởng bộ Quốc Phòng và bộ Ngoại Giao đến thăm Bắc Triều Tiên vào tháng 9 và tháng 10/2024. Việc Bắc Triều Tiên hiện giờ mới mời được tổng bí thư Tô Lâm qua cũng là do đại dịch Covid-19 cũng như là hai bên vẫn chưa tìm được dịp đủ lớn, đủ trang trọng để mời tổng bí thư của Việt Nam qua. Dịp 80 năm thành lập đảng Lao Động Triều Tiên là một dịp rất hợp lý để Bắc Triều Tiên có thể nối lại các đàm phán cấp cao với Việt Nam ở cấp tổng bí thư. Đọc thêmViệt Nam giúp được gì Bắc Triều Tiên để gỡ thế cô lập ? RFI : Bắc Triều Tiên được cho là nhà cung cấp vũ khí, đạn dược cho Nga để duy trì cuộc chiến ở Ukraina. Bắc Triều Tiên cũng nổi tiếng về sản xuất tên lửa đạn đạo, hạt nhân, trong đó có một tên lửa đạn đạo tầm xa mới đã được giới thiệu trong lễ duyệt binh. Liệu mảng quân sự sẽ được đề cập trong quá trình thắt chặt quan hệ hữu nghị với Bình Nhưỡng không ? Hai bên dự kiến phát triển quá trình hợp tác này như thế nào ? Vũ Xuân Khang : Trong chuyến thăm lần này của tổng bí thư Tô Lâm, Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên đã ký kết Ý định thư giữa hai bộ Quốc Phòng về hợp tác trong lĩnh vực quốc phòng. Cần nói rõ đây chỉ là ý định thư, nghĩa là hai nước bày tỏ quan điểm và các nội dung hợp tác trong tương lai khi các điều kiện cho phép. Và ở đây, lại cần nhấn mạnh vào yếu tố "khi các điều kiện cho phép" bởi vì Việt Nam hiểu rằng Bắc Triều Tiên vẫn đang chịu cấm vận rất lớn từ phương Tây. Đặc biệt là chương trình vũ khí hạt nhân và tên lửa tầm xa, bất kỳ hoạt động hợp tác nào của Việt Nam với Bắc Triều Tiên trong lĩnh vực tên lửa tầm xa có thể vi phạm các lệnh trừng phạt của Liên Hiệp Quốc. Việc này có thể sẽ ảnh hưởng tới quan hệ của Việt Nam với các nước phương Tây khi mà các nước phương Tây cũng như Hàn Quốc luôn luôn đặt vấn đề rằng Việt Nam phải cố gắng duy trì và bảo đảm các lệnh trừng phạt của Liên Hiệp Quốc đối với Bắc Triều Tiên trong các cuộc gặp cấp cao. Nhưng phải nói rằng thực ra, Việt Nam lại rất hợp với vũ khí của Bắc Triều Tiên. Trong thời gian gần đây, Việt Nam mới thành lập Bộ Tư lệnh Pháo binh Tên lửa và Hà Nội mong muốn nâng cấp tầm bắn của các tên lửa Scud-B do Liên Xô sản xuất và Liên Xô đã trao cho Việt Nam rất nhiều tên lửa Scud vào giai đoạn 1980. Còn Việt Nam, kể từ sau Chiến tranh Lạnh, lại không có điều kiện để thực sự tìm được một nguồn cung dồi dào hoặc một lời khuyên để phát triển loại vũ khí này. Bắc Triều Tiên lại có một nền tảng quốc phòng rất mạnh, kể cả Liên Xô sụp đổ, họ cũng đã tự cải tiến tên lửa Scud, như chúng ta thấy là họ đã có một hệ thống tên lửa tầm xa rất phát triển, như mới đây nhất là trong lễ diễu binh có tên lửa Hỏa Tinh-20 có khả năng bắn đến Mỹ và sử dụng nhiên liệu rắn. Đọc thêmMô hình Việt Nam có thích hợp với Bắc Triều Tiên? Do đó, Việt Nam hoàn toàn có thể học hỏi kinh nghiệm từ chương trình vũ khí hoặc là về công nghiệp quốc phòng nói chung của Bắc Triều Tiên. Nhưng như tôi đã đề cập ở trên, Việt Nam vẫn phải chú ý rất kỹ đến lệnh trừng phạt của Liên Hiệp Quốc. Đây mới chỉ là một ý định thư chưa chưa phải là một thỏa thuận hợp tác quốc phòng rõ ràng giữa hai nước. RFI : Tổng bí thư Tô Lâm trước đó đã công du Seoul. Việt Nam được cho là mua pháo K9 Thunder của Hàn Quốc. Và bây giờ là chuyến công du Bình Nhưỡng. Những hoạt động này có ý nghĩa như thế nào ? Vũ Xuân Khang : Chuyến thăm đến Triều Tiên của tổng bí thư Tô Lâm gần như là ngay sau chuyến thăm Hàn Quốc hồi tháng 08, đây là một lời khẳng định rõ ràng về đường lối ngoại giao đa phương hóa, đa dạng hóa của Việt Nam trong tương lai cũng như hiện tại và Việt Nam sẵn sàng làm bạn với tất cả nước và mong làm cầu nối giữa các bên. Đặc biệt chuyến thăm Bắc Triều Tiên lần này còn có tiềm năng lớn với Việt Nam trong hoàn cảnh chủ tịch Bắc Triều Tiên Kim Jong Un và tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump đều để ngỏ khả năng gặp mặt trong trường hợp hai bên đồng ý về một thỏa thuận hạt nhân. Đọc thêmVũ khí: Hàn Quốc giúp Việt Nam giảm phụ thuộc vào Nga Việt Nam với tư cách là đối tác tin cậy của cả hai nước và là chủ nhà của thượng đỉnh Mỹ-Triều năm 2019 sẽ mong muốn lại một lần nữa được thể hiện vai trò, cầu nối, trung gian hòa giải và đóng góp vào xây dựng hòa bình trên bán đảo Triều Tiên. Trong các tuyên bố với cả phía Bắc Triều Tiên và Hàn Quốc, Việt Nam đều nhấn mạnh rất rõ là mong muốn hai miền Triều Tiên tiếp tục đối thoại và hợp tác với nhau và Việt Nam cũng đề cập vai trò của mình trong việc ủng hộ bảo vệ an ninh khu vực. Đặc biệt, trong chuyến thăm Hàn Quốc của tổng bí thư Tô Lâm, Việt Nam cũng đề cập rất rõ là ủng hộ chính sách hòa giải liên Triều của tổng thống Hàn Quốc Lee Jae Myung. Điều này thể hiện Việt Nam mong muốn được tiếp tục làm cầu nối giữa hai miền. Việc Bắc Triều Tiên vẫn gửi lời mời tổng bí thư Tô Lâm sau khi Việt Nam ký kết mua pháo K9 Thunder của Hàn Quốc cho thấy Bình Nhưỡng coi trọng vai trò trung gian hòa giải, cũng như đường lối đối ngoại độc lập tự chủ của Việt Nam.

Trong chiến tranh chống Mỹ, Bắc Triều Tiên đã cam kết sẽ bảo vệ miền Bắc khỏi các cuộc tấn công của Mỹ và chính họ đã gửi phi công tham chiến, cũng như một lượng lớn khí tài và viện trợ kinh tế cho miền Bắc. Mặc dù quan hệ hai bên đã bị sứt mẻ trong chiến tranh Đông Dương lần 3 khi Bắc Triều Tiên ủng hộ Trung Quốc và Khmer Đỏ chống lại Việt Nam, hai bên đã không có bất kỳ cuộc trao đổi cấp cao nào. Và đó gần như là giai đoạn mà hai bên không muốn nhắc tới. Đọc thêmViệt Nam cố giữ trung lập giữa Hàn Quốc và Bắc Triều Tiên Kể từ năm 1988-1989 đến nay, sau khi Việt Nam rút quân khỏi Cam Bốt, thì hai nước mới bắt đầu có những trao đổi cấp cao trở lại. Tuy nhiên, việc Việt Nam bình thường hóa quan hệ ngoại giao với Hàn Quốc vào năm 1992 đã khiến cho quan hệ Việt Nam-Bắc Triều Tiên tạm thời trở nên đóng băng. Kể từ đầu những năm 2000 trở lại đây, Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên mới bắt đầu nối lại những đàm phán cấp cao do chính Bình Nhưỡng bày tỏ mong muốn là được thử nghiệm các mô hình mở cửa kinh tế như Việt Nam và Trung Quốc đã làm. Có thể thấy là quan hệ giữa Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên kể từ sau Chiến tranh Lạnh không có nhiều phát triển, nhất là quan hệ thương mại gần như nhỏ giọt, chỉ khoảng 20 triệu đô la/năm. Và về quan hệ quân sự, càng không có một chi tiết nào được công bố trên truyền thông. Những năm gần đây, Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên mong muốn tiếp tục nối lại quan hệ ngoại giao sau khi đại dịch Covid-19 làm ảnh hưởng tới trao đổi cấp cao giữa hai nước mà do chủ tịch Bắc Triều Tiên Kim Jong Un đã cố gắng nối lại trong chuyến thăm Hà Nội năm 2019. RFI : Tổng bí thư Tô Lâm là nhà lãnh đạo đảng thứ 3 đến thăm Bắc Triều Tiên trong 75 năm qua, lần gần đây nhất là chuyến thăm của tổng bí thư Nông Đức Mạnh năm 2007. Vậy chuyến công du này có ý nghĩa như thế nào ? Vũ Xuân Khang : Cần phải nói rõ là trong những năm gần đây, vì những lý do về kinh tế, về đại dịch nên Bắc Triều Tiên đã đóng cửa rất nhiều đại sứ quán và lãnh sự quán ở các nước đối tác truyền thống khác, như Uganda, Angola, Nepal, Senegal, Bangladesh, Hồng Kông, và Tây Ban Nha… nhưng họ vẫn duy trì hiện diện ở Việt Nam. Điều này cho thấy Bắc Triều Tiên vẫn nhìn nhận Việt Nam như là một đối tác rất quan trọng ở Đông Nam Á. Và trong những năm gần đây, cho dù hai nước không gặp nhau trực tiếp do đại dịch Covid-19, nhưng vẫn có những thư mừng hoặc những lời chúc mừng trong giai đoạn hai nước tổ chức Đại hội Đảng. Đặc biệt kể từ năm 2024, hai nước bắt đầu thực sự nối lại các cuộc gặp mặt cấp cao như chuyến thăm Việt Nam của ông Kim Song Nam, trưởng ban quốc tế trung ương của Đảng Lao động Triều Tiên, vào tháng 03/2024. Việt Nam cũng đã gửi thứ trưởng bộ Quốc Phòng và bộ Ngoại Giao đến thăm Bắc Triều Tiên vào tháng 9 và tháng 10/2024. Việc Bắc Triều Tiên hiện giờ mới mời được tổng bí thư Tô Lâm qua cũng là do đại dịch Covid-19 cũng như là hai bên vẫn chưa tìm được dịp đủ lớn, đủ trang trọng để mời tổng bí thư của Việt Nam qua. Dịp 80 năm thành lập đảng Lao Động Triều Tiên là một dịp rất hợp lý để Bắc Triều Tiên có thể nối lại các đàm phán cấp cao với Việt Nam ở cấp tổng bí thư. Đọc thêmViệt Nam giúp được gì Bắc Triều Tiên để gỡ thế cô lập ? RFI : Bắc Triều Tiên được cho là nhà cung cấp vũ khí, đạn dược cho Nga để duy trì cuộc chiến ở Ukraina. Bắc Triều Tiên cũng nổi tiếng về sản xuất tên lửa đạn đạo, hạt nhân, trong đó có một tên lửa đạn đạo tầm xa mới đã được giới thiệu trong lễ duyệt binh. Liệu mảng quân sự sẽ được đề cập trong quá trình thắt chặt quan hệ hữu nghị với Bình Nhưỡng không ? Hai bên dự kiến phát triển quá trình hợp tác này như thế nào ? Vũ Xuân Khang : Trong chuyến thăm lần này của tổng bí thư Tô Lâm, Việt Nam và Bắc Triều Tiên đã ký kết Ý định thư giữa hai bộ Quốc Phòng về hợp tác trong lĩnh vực quốc phòng. Cần nói rõ đây chỉ là ý định thư, nghĩa là hai nước bày tỏ quan điểm và các nội dung hợp tác trong tương lai khi các điều kiện cho phép. Và ở đây, lại cần nhấn mạnh vào yếu tố "khi các điều kiện cho phép" bởi vì Việt Nam hiểu rằng Bắc Triều Tiên vẫn đang chịu cấm vận rất lớn từ phương Tây. Đặc biệt là chương trình vũ khí hạt nhân và tên lửa tầm xa, bất kỳ hoạt động hợp tác nào của Việt Nam với Bắc Triều Tiên trong lĩnh vực tên lửa tầm xa có thể vi phạm các lệnh trừng phạt của Liên Hiệp Quốc. Việc này có thể sẽ ảnh hưởng tới quan hệ của Việt Nam với các nước phương Tây khi mà các nước phương Tây cũng như Hàn Quốc luôn luôn đặt vấn đề rằng Việt Nam phải cố gắng duy trì và bảo đảm các lệnh trừng phạt của Liên Hiệp Quốc đối với Bắc Triều Tiên trong các cuộc gặp cấp cao. Nhưng phải nói rằng thực ra, Việt Nam lại rất hợp với vũ khí của Bắc Triều Tiên. Trong thời gian gần đây, Việt Nam mới thành lập Bộ Tư lệnh Pháo binh Tên lửa và Hà Nội mong muốn nâng cấp tầm bắn của các tên lửa Scud-B do Liên Xô sản xuất và Liên Xô đã trao cho Việt Nam rất nhiều tên lửa Scud vào giai đoạn 1980. Còn Việt Nam, kể từ sau Chiến tranh Lạnh, lại không có điều kiện để thực sự tìm được một nguồn cung dồi dào hoặc một lời khuyên để phát triển loại vũ khí này. Bắc Triều Tiên lại có một nền tảng quốc phòng rất mạnh, kể cả Liên Xô sụp đổ, họ cũng đã tự cải tiến tên lửa Scud, như chúng ta thấy là họ đã có một hệ thống tên lửa tầm xa rất phát triển, như mới đây nhất là trong lễ diễu binh có tên lửa Hỏa Tinh-20 có khả năng bắn đến Mỹ và sử dụng nhiên liệu rắn. Đọc thêmMô hình Việt Nam có thích hợp với Bắc Triều Tiên? Do đó, Việt Nam hoàn toàn có thể học hỏi kinh nghiệm từ chương trình vũ khí hoặc là về công nghiệp quốc phòng nói chung của Bắc Triều Tiên. Nhưng như tôi đã đề cập ở trên, Việt Nam vẫn phải chú ý rất kỹ đến lệnh trừng phạt của Liên Hiệp Quốc. Đây mới chỉ là một ý định thư chưa chưa phải là một thỏa thuận hợp tác quốc phòng rõ ràng giữa hai nước. RFI : Tổng bí thư Tô Lâm trước đó đã công du Seoul. Việt Nam được cho là mua pháo K9 Thunder của Hàn Quốc. Và bây giờ là chuyến công du Bình Nhưỡng. Những hoạt động này có ý nghĩa như thế nào ? Vũ Xuân Khang : Chuyến thăm đến Triều Tiên của tổng bí thư Tô Lâm gần như là ngay sau chuyến thăm Hàn Quốc hồi tháng 08, đây là một lời khẳng định rõ ràng về đường lối ngoại giao đa phương hóa, đa dạng hóa của Việt Nam trong tương lai cũng như hiện tại và Việt Nam sẵn sàng làm bạn với tất cả nước và mong làm cầu nối giữa các bên. Đặc biệt chuyến thăm Bắc Triều Tiên lần này còn có tiềm năng lớn với Việt Nam trong hoàn cảnh chủ tịch Bắc Triều Tiên Kim Jong Un và tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump đều để ngỏ khả năng gặp mặt trong trường hợp hai bên đồng ý về một thỏa thuận hạt nhân. Đọc thêmVũ khí: Hàn Quốc giúp Việt Nam giảm phụ thuộc vào Nga Việt Nam với tư cách là đối tác tin cậy của cả hai nước và là chủ nhà của thượng đỉnh Mỹ-Triều năm 2019 sẽ mong muốn lại một lần nữa được thể hiện vai trò, cầu nối, trung gian hòa giải và đóng góp vào xây dựng hòa bình trên bán đảo Triều Tiên. Trong các tuyên bố với cả phía Bắc Triều Tiên và Hàn Quốc, Việt Nam đều nhấn mạnh rất rõ là mong muốn hai miền Triều Tiên tiếp tục đối thoại và hợp tác với nhau và Việt Nam cũng đề cập vai trò của mình trong việc ủng hộ bảo vệ an ninh khu vực. Đặc biệt, trong chuyến thăm Hàn Quốc của tổng bí thư Tô Lâm, Việt Nam cũng đề cập rất rõ là ủng hộ chính sách hòa giải liên Triều của tổng thống Hàn Quốc Lee Jae Myung. Điều này thể hiện Việt Nam mong muốn được tiếp tục làm cầu nối giữa hai miền. Việc Bắc Triều Tiên vẫn gửi lời mời tổng bí thư Tô Lâm sau khi Việt Nam ký kết mua pháo K9 Thunder của Hàn Quốc cho thấy Bình Nhưỡng coi trọng vai trò trung gian hòa giải, cũng như đường lối đối ngoại độc lập tự chủ của Việt Nam.

Fünfzig Jahre nach der Unabhängigkeit sucht Angola nach einer neuen wirtschaftlichen Basis. Der Reichtum des Landes basiert vor allem auf dem Ölgeschäft. Doch immer mehr Menschen versuchen, Firmen zu gründen – vom Tech-Start-up bis zum Handwerksbetrieb. Leonie March www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Die Reportage

Cristina López Schlichting, en el Día del Domund, conversa con el obispo Martín Lasarte sobre su labor misionera en Angola, donde lleva 35 años enfrentándose a desafíos como la guerra, la pobreza, el matrimonio infantil y las acusaciones de brujería. Su testimonio refleja la importancia de la inculturación y el respeto por las lenguas y tradiciones locales. Después, junto a Markote y aprovechando el regreso de La Oreja de Van Gogh, realizan un divertido recorrido musical por las canciones que han marcado la historia de la Vuelta Ciclista a España desde 1978. Para cerrar, la arquitecta responsable de la restauración de la Puerta de Alcalá cuenta los detalles de una rehabilitación que acaba de recibir un prestigioso premio europeo.

Ao sábado discutimos em profundidade um assunto em debate em Angola durante a semana, revimos as melhores reportagens da semana. E as notícias do dia. Horário: Sáb-Dom Hora UTC: 1700 Duração: 60 min

Angola eleita a membro do Conselho de Direitos Humanos da ONU para o período de 2026 a 2028. Julgamento do general Kopelipa, expõe fissuras profundas no sistema judicial angolano. Donald Trump reúne-se hoje com Zelensky. Em duas semanas, será a vez de Putin, para discutir caminhos para a paz na Ucrânia.

Na Guiné-Bissau, o Supremo Tribunal de Justiça não incluiu Domingos Simões Pereira na lista definitiva de candidatos às eleições presidenciais. Em Angola, o Presidente João Lourenço anunciou a atribuição de medalhas comemorativas dos 50 anos da Independência a Jonas Savimbi e Holden Roberto, depois de muitas críticas pela ausência destes nomes nas listas de condecorações. Em Moçambique, é o primeiro aniversário do duplo homicídio de Elvino Dias e Paulo Guambe e em Cabo Verde festeja-se o apuramento para o Mundial de Futebol de 2026. Na Guiné-Bissau, o Supremo Tribunal de Justiça não incluiu Domingos Simões Pereira, principal líder da oposição, na lista definitiva de candidatos à presidência da República nas eleições gerais de 23 de Novembro. A candidatura da Plataforma Aliança Inclusiva (PAI) - Terra Ranka, liderada pelo PAIGC, às eleições legislativas também não foi aceite. Esta será a primeira vez que o PAIGC, histórico partido da libertação, fica de fora de uma corrida eleitoral na Guiné-Bissau. A lista definitiva das candidaturas às eleições presidenciais foi divulgada esta sexta-feira e Domingos Simões Pereira disse à RFI que “a intenção clara” é afastá-lo do escrutínio e acusou o actual Presidente Umaro Sissoco Embaló de ter “medo de o enfrentar nas urnas”. Na terça-feira, jornalistas de três rádios locais de Bissau, nomeadamente a Capital FM, foram impedidos de cobrir a conferência de imprensa do Supremo Tribunal de Justiça quando este divulgou a lista provisória das candidaturas validadas. Tiago Seide, director da capital FM, disse à RFI que não foi apresentada nenhuma justificação. Por outro lado, na segunda-feira, a Ordem dos Advogados da Guiné-Bissau condenou com veemência o rapto e o espancamento de Luís Vaz Martins, antigo líder da Liga Guineense de Direitos Humanos e actual presidente da comissão de direitos humanos da Ordem dos Advogados da Guiné-Bissau. Em Angola, na quarta-feira, o Presidente João Lourenço anunciou, na mensagem sobre o Estado da Nação, na Assembleia Nacional, que os signatários dos Acordos de Alvor, incluindo Jonas Savimbi e Holden Roberto, os fundadores da UNITA e da FNLA, vão ser lembrados com a medalha comemorativa dos 50 anos da Independência de Angola. O gesto - disse o Presidente - é enquadrado no espírito de "perdão e reconciliação”. Esta decisão surge após muitas críticas pela ausência destes nomes nas listas de condecorações já atribuídas no âmbito dos 50 anos da independência nacional. O presidente da UNITA, Adalberto Costa Júnior, lembrou que foi um “processo muito longo”, marcado pela rejeição na Assembleia do “reconhecimento aos pais da nação” e  “uma série imensa de não aceitações individuais de condecorações”. Além disso, Adalberto Costa Júnior sublinha que Jonas Savimbi e Holden Roberto devem ser reconhecidos “por mérito” e não por perdão. Por outro lado, Nimi A Simbi, presidente da FNLA, considerou a distinção de Holden Roberto como um reconhecimento do papel do partido “para a libertação de Angola”. Na terça-feira, Angola foi eleita membro do Conselho de Direitos Humanos das Nações Unidas para o triénio 2026-2028. As autoridades angolanas referem que esta eleição resulta do “reconhecimento dos avanços institucionais e do compromisso do país com a dignidade humana”. Porém, há vozes que denunciam que "o país não respeita os direitos humanos". Esta sexta-feira, em Luanda, um grupo e defensores dos direitos humanos convocou uma vigília para apelar à libertação de activistas detidos em Julho quando se manifestavam contra o aumento do preço do combustível e dos transportes. Em Moçambique, este sábado, 18 de Outubro, marca o primeiro aniversário do duplo homicídio de Elvino Dias e Paulo Guambe, algo que desencadeou meses de protestos em Moçambique depois das eleições gerais de Outubro de 2024. Agora, o ex-candidato presidencial Venâncio Mondlane anunciou que, até Dezembro, estará em actividade uma fundação inspirada em Elvino Dias, conhecido como “advogado do povo”. Venâncio Mondlane responsabilizou os "esquadrões da morte" pelo duplo homicídio dos seus apoiantes. No distrito de Memba, na província costeira de Nampula, no norte de Moçambique, a população continua com medo depois dos ataques terroristas de 30 de Setembro e 3 Outubro, contou o administrador do distrito, Manuel Cintura.  Em Cabo Verde, segunda-feira foi dia de festa com o apuramento inédito da selecção para o Mundial de Futebol. Os Tubarões Azuis venceram o Essuatíni por três a zero no Estádio Nacional, na cidade da Praia. O selecionador cabo-verdiano, Pedro Leitão Brito, connhecido por “Bubista”, descreveu a união entre jogadores como factor essencial para o apuramento. Em São Tomé e Príncipe, o grupo HBD do empresário Mark Shuttleworth anunciou que vai suspender o seu  investimento na ilha do Príncipe. Os governos central e regional mostraram vontade de reverter a situação. Em Madagáscar, esta sexta-feira tomou posse como Presidente o coronel Michael Randrianirina, comandante de uma unidade de elite, três dias depois de ter anunciado que as forças armadas locais iam tomar conta do país e após três semanas de protestos contra o governo. O golpe militar foi condenado pelas Nações Unidas e levou à exclusão provisória de Madagáscar da União Africana. O presidente deposto, Andry Rajoelina, está em paradeiro desconhecido, após ter fugido da ilha por temer pela própria vida durante a rebelião. Porém, o coronel Michael Randrianirina rejeita falar em golpe de Estado. O líder da oposição queniana, Raila Odinga, morreu na quarta-feira, aos 80 anos, na Índia, onde recebia cuidados médicos. Odinga marcou profundamente a história política do Quénia. Foi várias vezes candidato à presidência e foi primeiro-ministro entre 2008 e 2013. No funeral de Estado, esta sexta-feira, dezenas de pessoas ficaram feridas num movimento de pânico, um dia depois de três pessoas terem morrido quando as forças de segurança abriram fogo contra um estádio onde decorria uma homenagem a Raila Odinga.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 15, 2025 is: coalesce • koh-uh-LESS • verb To coalesce is to come together to form one group or mass. // The club's community service projects provide students with a common goal to coalesce around. // The movie is full of beautifully written scenes but they never coalesce into a whole. See the entry > Examples: “... as Angola prepares for the final, the combination of personal perseverance, team cohesion, and national pride coalesces into something bigger than a game: a celebration of resilience, dedication, and the enduring spirit of basketball in Angola.” — Sindiswa Mabunda, Forbes, 24 Aug. 2025 Did you know? The meaning of many English words equals the sum of their parts, and coalesce is a fitting example. The word unites the prefix co- (“together”) and the Latin verb alescere, meaning “to grow.” Coalesce is one of a number of English verbs (along with mix, commingle, merge, and amalgamate) that refer to the act of combining parts into a whole. In particular, coalesce usually implies the merging of similar parts to form a cohesive unit, such as a political ideology, a fan-following, or (perish the thought) a Portuguese man-of-war, the body of which includes three types of zooids.

Ever feel like you had to start over from zero? I sit down with writer and teacher Peter William Murphy, an Irish expat who rebuilt after a family business collapse, a serious injury, and a move to Reunion Island that reset his path. I wanted to understand what it really takes to choose growth when life gets loud, and Peter shows us how clear decisions, steady practice, and honest support can open new doors. We talk about the power of owning your choices, moving through anxiety, and asking for help before pride gets in the way. Peter explains how he built Peak English to help students raise their IELTS scores and change their futures. We get into how online teaching actually works when you design it with care, why in-person connection still matters, and how writing became a tool for clarity, confidence, and service. What I love most in this conversation is Peter's calm style of resilience. It is not flashy. It is daily. If you are starting over, switching careers, or simply trying to make your next decision with intention, you will hear practical steps you can use right away. I think you will walk away encouraged, with a clearer view of what steady progress looks like and how to keep going when the ground shifts under your feet.   Highlights:   00:10 – Meet the guest and set the theme of choosing growth over comfort. 01:12 – Hear how a family hospitality legacy shaped early values and work ethic. 02:25 – Learn how the 2008 crash ended the bar and pushed a search for a new path. 07:37 – See why a one-way ticket to Reunion Island became a turning point. 10:11 – Follow the move into teaching without a degree and the first classroom wins. 14:20 – Pick up online teaching tactics like gamification and lesson design. 15:56 – Understand imposter syndrome and the pivot into writing and Peak English. 21:16 – Get a clear take on when online learning works and when it does not. 28:38 – Compare virtual vs. in-person speaking for connection and impact. 32:41 – Learn Peak English's mission to make IELTS success more accessible. 46:32 – Try a simple decision tool: write pros and cons and choose with intent. 54:55 – Hear the advice to younger self: talk to someone sooner and keep going   About the Guest:   Peter William Murphy is an Irish writer, educator, and host whose path has been anything but conventional. Raised in a small family-run hotel on Ireland's west coast, Peter immigrated to America following the hotel's closure, attending school there before returning home to rediscover his Irish roots—and a deep love for sport. But beneath the rugby and soccer fields, a creative instinct stirred.   When the 2008 crash brought down his family's business for a second time, Peter booked a one-way ticket to an island off the coast of Madagascar with just €20 and no job prospects. After a brief period of sleeping rough, he was helped by strangers who offered support without judgment—a lesson in quiet empathy that never left him.   Peter made his name on Medium, where he was curated 39 times for his memoir-style essays on travel and the lessons learned along the way, before pivoting to sharp, comedic takes on current affairs. Notable among his growing body of work are original characters like Jack Hennessy, a wry Irish journalist with a nose for trouble, and the Rick and Morty-inspired duo, Peta and Freeman—two chaotic, absurdist voices that serve as both satire and self-reflection. He now splits his creative focus between personal essays, humor writing, and his new livestream comedy podcast, The Peter and Philip Show, which he co-hosts with author Philip Ogley and which is gaining a mini-cult following on Substack. Peter is currently working on a book loosely inspired by his global misadventures, missteps, and the redemptive power of human connection.   Some of Peter's creative and personal heroes include Hunter S. Thompson, Ernest Hemingway, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, as well as his mother, father, and brother—who continue to inspire his voice, values, and pursuit of honest storytelling.   Peter is currently developing the Peta and Freeman series into a comic and is halfway through writing his first novel, The Red Beach in Paradise, which tells the story of his time on Réunion Island through the fictional lens of Jack Hennessy. While Peter still teaches full-time with his own private students, he is also working on opening an online school to help students prepare for exams and gain university admission across Europe. Every cent he earns from his writing goes directly toward making that school a reality.   Ways to connect with Peter:   My GoFundMe to fund the school: Link here Peak English Instagram account: Link here Peak English TikTok: Link here My substack that contains writing and podcasts: Link here My Medium Account: Link here     About the Host:   Michael Hingson is a New York Times best-selling author, international lecturer, and Chief Vision Officer for accessiBe.

The podcast where inclusion, diversity and the unexpected meet. Hi, I'm Michael Hingson, Chief Vision Officer for accessiBe and the author of the number one New York Times bestselling book, Thunder dog, the story of a blind man, his guide dog and the triumph of trust. Thanks for joining me on my podcast as we explore our own blinding fears of inclusion unacceptance and our resistance to change. We will discover the idea that no matter the situation, or the people we encounter, our own fears, and prejudices often are our strongest barriers to moving forward. The unstoppable mindset podcast is sponsored by accessiBe, that's a c c e s s i capital B e. Visit www.accessibe.com to learn how you can make your website accessible for persons with disabilities.

Welcome wherever you happen to be to unstoppable mindset where inclusion, diversity and the unexpected meet. And today, I think we're mostly going to get to do the unexpected, which is anything that doesn't have to do with inclusion or diversity. Peter Murphy, or Peter William Murphy, as he refers to himself in all the emails that he sends to me, is a writer. He has been a teacher, has an interesting story, I think, all the way around, and I'm not going to tell it, because it's more fun to listen to him tell it, and we'll see what we can learn from it and how we progress. So anyway, Peter, I want to welcome you to unstoppable mindset. We're really glad you're here.   Peter William Murphy ** 02:00 Thank you so much for having me. I really appreciate it.   Michael Hingson ** 02:03 And although Peter is Irish, he's in Turkey today, or he's he's over there, so he does move around, as you're going to learn in the course of this next hour or so. So why don't we start, why don't you tell us, kind of about the early Peter, growing up and so on.   Peter William Murphy ** 02:19 Um, well, I'm from truly, county Terry in Ireland, beautiful small town in the west coast, the Southwest we I come from a family of Hoteliers and publicans. My great grand Well, yeah, my great grandfather had the Meadowlands hotel in Chile, and then passed to my grandfather. But then after that, my father decided to open up his own bar. And that's kind of where after growing up, you know, around the hotel and, you know, seeing all the customers talking to people, very social kind of atmosphere, but unfortunately, it closed down. We had to move to America, back to Ireland. I attended Glendale Abbey school in County Limerick and yeah, I had a great upbringing, great family, but unfortunately, I never really liked school, if I'm be honest with you, which is a strange thing for a teacher today, I did not do well in school. I did just okay. But after the economic crash in 2008 Unfortunately, our family business closed down, so I had to try and find my own path. It was a little bit different than Ireland and I took off, got myself a teaching cert, and went to Reunion Island. And from there, my story kind of took off, and it's kind of where I learned a lot of my lessons. And after that, I just kept on going and didn't stop.   Michael Hingson ** 03:59 So why did the family business closed down the first time.   Peter William Murphy ** 04:04 The first time was because my grandfather basically needed a retirement, and he sold the hotel. And then my father then decided to open up his own bar, and just rising then 10 years later, that closed down during in 2011 I think there is a big economic crash in Ireland, rents went up. People weren't eating or socializing like they were, and through no fault of RL, it was just time to close the doors, which was a pity, because name of the bar was wooly Darcy's. It was a fantastic bar, very social, no televisions, very traditional, and yeah, so we all kind of had to go off and find other ways. And, you know, figure out who we are without, say, bars or. Hells or general hospitality and so kind of, yeah, right.   Michael Hingson ** 05:06 Well, so what? What was the reason for commuting or immigrating all the way to America after that?   Peter William Murphy ** 05:14 Well, we immigrated to America after   Michael Hingson ** 05:17 the hotel, yeah, after the hotel closed, right?   Peter William Murphy ** 05:21 Yeah, that was in 1998 and we were there for maybe two years, I believe, I'm not sure, and went to school there. My father worked in summers pubs, which is owned by my uncle in Boston, and then he made enough money to come back to Ireland in 2000 and open up his own bar. But yeah, it's just,   Michael Hingson ** 05:49 why America? Why America? When the hotel closed, half   Peter William Murphy ** 05:53 our family live over there, so my mom's side of the family live in America. Yeah, okay,   Michael Hingson ** 05:59 well, that makes it a little bit more logical that you would you would consider doing that.   Peter William Murphy ** 06:05 Oh, I loved it, Michael. I After, after two weeks, I was no longer Irish. I was playing baseball, eating pizza. I good American accent. I loved America, I   Michael Hingson ** 06:17 must say now, so are you in the Boston area?   Peter William Murphy ** 06:21 Yeah, we lived in West Roxbury, okay, just outside the city.   Michael Hingson ** 06:26 I lived in Winthrop Massachusetts, which is by East Boston, for three years. Very nice. So I never really got a Boston accent, but I do know how to say things like, pack your kind of have a yacht, you know? I can, I can still do it. Great accent, actually, but that's lovely. But I enjoyed being in Boston and just being around all the history. It's pretty, pretty amazing. But then you move back to Ireland, so that worked out, and he started a bar, and then you did that. So when, when that closed, and then you left again? Why did you leave again?   Peter William Murphy ** 07:06 Uh, basically, um, it feels difficult, kind of speaking about publicly, but I, I was kind of Joe there's, and I say that because there are people out there with bigger problems than me like I was a rugby player and the son of a publican. So for my formative years, my identity, for me at least, was kind of set. I was either going to be a rugby player or I was going to work in a bar or go into hotel management or something like that, but I had a pretty horrific leg injury during rugby training, and I suffered a few blows to the head, and then the bar closed down, so it was like one year you kind of had it all figured out. And then going into university as a young man, I had nothing. I could barely really walk I my family identity was gone. We're in the midst of a economic crash, a depression, and then I kind of developed my own sort of depression, but I, at the time, I didn't know it was depression. It's only Lacher that, when I spoke about it to professional that I kind of, we kind of spoke through and just said, Yeah, that's what it was. So I kind of, I wouldn't say, lied to my parents, but I told my mom, who's listening? Hi, Mom, I love you that I got a job in France, and I'd gotten an English certificate, and I didn't want to do University. I wanted to take a year out because I just couldn't handle it. Um, so, you know, I thought solving my problems would, you know, going away would solve my problems. So I there was no job in France. In fact, I wasn't going to France. I booked a one way ticket to Reunion Island, which is an island often called to the Madagascar in the Indian Ocean.   Michael Hingson ** 09:22 So why there? Why there? Because my friend   Peter William Murphy ** 09:26 was there, and he was there getting University credits for his degree. And, you know, back then, I wasn't a very good listener. I was a bit silly. I'm sure he told me all the details, but I just, I just heard son see maybe a job, and it's not and it's not Ireland, you know, it's not gray, it's not depressed. People aren't on social welfare. Let's, let's go. So I booked a one way ticket with what remained in my savings. And blew over there. And Michael, I'm going to be honest with you, when I landed at the airport in fentanyl, and I was hit with the hot Island air, and I could see it the volcano and, you know, the blue ocean surrounding me, I immediately regretted my decision. I want to go home, but I couldn't, because I had no money to buy a return ticket. So then the kind of Island Adventure kind of started, and yeah, I was stuck there for two years trying to get home.   Michael Hingson ** 10:34 Did you ever kind of make peace with all that and decide that maybe it wasn't such a bad place?   Peter William Murphy ** 10:40 Yeah, I, I, I kind of, because I'm a storyteller. I love writing, so I'm good at, kind of, you know, I wouldn't say I think all writers are good at, you know, giving dramatic effect. You know, maybe there, there's instead of one shark, there's five sharks. Instead of a storm, it's a cyclone. But when I would tell people about it, I would say it was difficult, but looking back at it now, it was probably the best thing I ever did, just taking that leap and going for it.   Michael Hingson ** 11:19 Did you ever finish in going to university? Or did you ever   Peter William Murphy ** 11:23 No, I just kept going. Kept going, kept going. I I got a job teaching English at a course. A lady by the name of Daniela from Angola gave me my first ever job, and you know, we hit it off. And this is back in 2011 or 12. I After about six or seven months working with her, so all the kids love me, the students love me. I learned a lot about her kind of holistic approach to education and teaching, and we were speaking in her kitchen one day, and she says, okay, when all this is over, what are you going to do? And I said, Well, I'm going to try and open up my own school. And she seemed surprised, but yeah, over 1310, or 11 years later, I'm not sure that's exactly what I'm trying to do now, is open up my own school.   Michael Hingson ** 12:21 Tell   Peter William Murphy ** 12:22 me about the school. Well, my wife, well, I'll go back a little bit. When I finally built up enough money to fly home, I got a job working with a man from America, actually teaching students in Cork. And I said I wasn't ready to go back to university just yet. I'd been in university for three years before I left, and it just something wasn't clicking with me. I'm an intelligent enough person, but in university just something, it just wasn't clicking. So I've decided to, you know, go to Turkey, simply because it was, you know, the closest. It wasn't like France, which is familiar, and it wasn't like, you know, far away, like China or somewhere like that. So I went there and got a job. But within six months, I think I landed a very, very good job at the top private school there, and they knew that I didn't have a degree. They just knew that I had selfless certificates and TEFL and other English certificates. But they have about 60 campuses in Turkey, and they gave me, and one of them is a university in Istanbul. So I was given a lot of education. By then, I was kind of a teacher for 15th. I observed, if I was doing a lesson, I'd be observed lots of seminars, getting more certificates, learning more and more. And you know that as time went on, I just kind of became Mr. Murphy, you know what I mean? I became a teacher, kind of, I proved myself, and just my students started getting good results. The parents were very fond of me. My colleagues were fond of me, my boss, my principal was fond of me. So I went from kind of not really having any identity, not knowing what I was doing, to kind of having it. So I stayed working in this big school for eight years, and to get back to kind of your question on the degree and the school i i was chosen by them to give a talk in Istanbul to all my peers on online methodology and how I help kids. Do you know? With gamifications, using the right websites for them, things like this, I slowly became very adept at, and they asked me to do it the second year. And then I got offered by Pierce in Turkey, which is an educational publishing company, and to do seminars on their behalf. And then this is, it was the first time since I left Ireland. This was in 2002 or three where I began to have imposter syndrome, where I was like, Okay, I know I'm good, but am I better than the people who I'm, who I'm speaking to, you know, and I raised this with the person who gave me the opportunity, and he said, Everyone feels, feels this way, you know. But I couldn't shake it, so I decided to in 2023 to step back from teaching, and I told my principal that I'm going to take some time away from it, and I became a writer on medium, and my writing on medium then took off. I started making a lot of money, and I found myself in this little hole where everything I was I was trying, was working for me, but it still didn't feel like something that I could 100% stick with well, which is why I started writing the book, and then it's why my wife and I decided to open up our own course, which will be a methodology, kind of created by the two of us, a curriculum, curriculum created by the two of us, which will have third party eyes who will sign off on it, and it's called Peak English, and we'll take it from there. So that's kind of my long answer to your very simple question.   Michael Hingson ** 17:05 Sorry, Kay, that's fine. Going back to when you went to Reunion Island. Do you think there was something deeper than just escaping from Ireland and the life you had, or you think it was just that simple?   Peter William Murphy ** 17:24 Um, yeah, it's strange, because I have a great relationship. My brother, my father and my mother were all very close. But I, I think, I think I became afraid of life, you know, because, you know, my father's my hero, of course, and he's a well respected man in the community. He He was awarded, I can't remember the name of the award, but basically, best host of the Year, Best host in Ireland last year by the hospitality board in the country. And when I saw what the economic crash did to him, it didn't break him, but when I saw that what it did to him, I was like, my god, if life can do that to my dad, take away his bar, you know, make him sad, or whatever it's like, what's it going to do to someone like me, you know, so I became very afraid of life, and I suppose I just wanted to go somewhere that felt other worldly, and that just felt so different, you know, that just so different, Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 18:38 well, and, and now you say that you really feel that it was the best decision that you could make.   Peter William Murphy ** 18:48 Yeah, I wouldn't change it for the world. I mean, I've got some great stories. Yeah, halfway through a book about it now. So hopefully in the next year, that book will hopefully get published, and if not, I'll put it out there myself.   Michael Hingson ** 19:06 So when the pandemic hit, how did that affect or deal with your teaching and so on? Because you were teaching all that time since you you stepped back from that in 2023 so you must have had to deal with a lot of stuff with the pandemic, I would think,   Peter William Murphy ** 19:25 yeah, I know a lot of people suffered during the pandemic, but if I'm going to speak, it was difficult for everyone, but if I'm going to just for me in my apartment in Turkey, it was a good pandemic for me, you know, I took the opportunity to learn the guitar, get better at my job, did a lot of study, got more certificates, and also. Uh, I was familiar with Zoom before the big zoom thing happened. So I kind of knew before our first online lesson. You know, I spent about maybe three weeks because we went into lockdown in Turkey, I think March 2020, I believe we were a bit Lacher than most, but we, we stopped school in February, I think, and there was about a two or three week time where they were trying to figure it out. And, you know, you you know, everyone's going to go. If America and England are go and China are locked down. We're going to be locked down too. So I started doing tutorials on Zoom Near Pod, other online teaching websites, and started learning about them. So when the first lesson started on Zoom, I was really good at it, and all the students loved it. I wasn't the only teacher who did that. Lots of my colleagues I did that. But, you know, the pandemic was definitely a time where a lot of us who were lucky enough not to get ill were able to, you know, put more strings to our boat, right?   Michael Hingson ** 21:24 What do you think about all the discussions and all the arguments and all the conversations that go on now about online teaching as opposed to doing it live, and where, where all of it fits in. Can people really do it, you know, kind of what are your thoughts   Peter William Murphy ** 21:47 for children? I do not recommend this as the primary source of their education. I believe that socializing is very important for them, even having a teacher. You know, one of the biggest things you can do as a teacher with your classroom management is where you stand in the classroom. You know, being able to observe the students, then knowing that you're there as a present all the materials that you would have in the classroom. These are all things that actually, they need something small, but they do help kids that kind of five minute break every 14 minutes where they can run outside, keep a ball around and talk to each other. That's really important, yeah. But if you're talking about maybe between the 18 and up age group, I think it depends on the person. I've had students who who are prepared for IELTS, and they have needed a top score, and only have three months, and we've been face to face, working, helping them with their writing, doing everything, and it just doesn't work. There's something about the school environment where it just doesn't rub off on them. But then the minute you get them online and you start introducing games, you gamify it, just do lots of different things with them, for some reason they feel more comfortable. It could be an anxiety thing could be where they just feel more relaxed. At home, everyone's different, but for children, from my experience, definitely face to face learning is the best. Zoom is okay in an emergency. I do not recommend hybrid learning whatsoever.   Michael Hingson ** 23:40 Yeah, it's a it's a challenge. I know, for me personally, I can do online and, or and, or I can do things in person, in terms of learning and so on. I'm used to doing a lot of things outside of the typical corporate or office environment. So I can do that, but I also value and appreciate the social interaction when you go into an office and you have an opportunity to to meet with people. The only thing I would would say is way too often, unfortunately, people socialize so much that they forget in a work environment, you're really there to work and really need to figure out how to focus more on getting the job done. But I think there are a lot of aspects to that as well, because it isn't necessarily that people are lazy, but by the same token, if they don't really recognize what the job is about and what they're doing and that they have to put the appropriate time into it, or figure out a way to put in the appropriate time, then that's, you know, an issue too.   Peter William Murphy ** 24:58 Yeah, I would, you percent people. Be With You.   Michael Hingson ** 25:01 I think that, yeah, it's interesting. I've had a few people on the podcast here where we've talked about time management. We've talked about how people work in Europe, as opposed to in the United States, and some of the statistics that show that, in reality, if people put in longer days, but don't spend as many days at work, like if you put in 410, hour days, as opposed to five, eight hour days or something like that, you tend to get more work done, which I think is very interesting.   Peter William Murphy ** 25:36 Yeah, I've noticed that too, since I started working at home more and more. That I had a discussion with my wife the other day, and I said, you know, I think I need to rent an office, you know, because whilst I do like having, you know, low overheads and not paying rent. There is something about getting up in the morning, putting on a nice shirt, black coffee, and walk to the office. And you know, have your work day. One thing that I'm noticing is working online, with writing and helping students, is I'll wake up at 5am and I'll shower and I'll I'll work from 6am until midnight, and I am looking at my looking at myself in the mirror the next day and saying, Joe, this is unsustainable, like we It's you can say to yourself, oh, sure, just, you know, make your own routine. But it's very hard to stick to a routine if you are, you know, writing articles, if you have meetings at various times throughout the day, if you're dealing with multiple time zones. So there's, there is something attractive of going back and renting an office, you know, having a base where work is work and home is home. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 27:10 and I, and I appreciate that. I, I personally am able to work at home and separate that out. But I do know what you're what you're saying. And not everyone can do that. I've just done that a lot in my life because I've worked for companies where I worked remotely anyway, so I'm used to that, but I also appreciate your discipline. I'm sorry   Peter William Murphy ** 27:35 you've got discipline. It's something I need to work   Michael Hingson ** 27:38 on. Well, I guess that's probably it, yeah, I guess that's that's probably it. And I have enough other things during the day that demand time. So for example, at five o'clock, that's the time to feed the guide dog, and he wants to eat. And if I don't do that, I'm going to hear about it. So what's your dog's name? His name is Alamo. Like the Alamo? Yeah. So, you know, the issue is that I do have some things to help keep me honest, but, yeah, I can be fairly well disciplined with it, and I can make that work, and I understand that a lot of people can't. The other thing for me being a public speaker is I'm not as great a fan of speaking virtually, speaking online, as I am speaking in person. And the reason is, and it took me a while to kind of figure out why I didn't really like it as much as as probably some people that I don't have nearly the same kind of connection with the audience to whom I'm speaking if I'm doing it online, and I don't get to hear their reactions to things that I say. And for me, having that audio interaction, those auditory signals are part of what tells me if I'm doing a good job or not. On the other hand, I've done this long enough that I can pretty well tell what's probably going to work and what's not. So I'm perfectly happy to do virtual presentations, but if I have a choice, I like to do it in person, right?   Peter William Murphy ** 29:09 Yeah, I agree with you there. There is something very cool about being up on stage, yeah, and talking to a lot of people, but my favorite part has to be afterwards, when you're having the teas and the coffees and you're talking to everybody in the lobby. I really do love that part.   Michael Hingson ** 29:29 Oh, yeah. Well, and I try to integrate some of that even into the talks that I give, so that I have audiences participating. And sometimes the participation may be that I ask them something to answer, and sometimes it's how I tell a story to draw them in. And I've had any number of people tell me we were just following you down the stairs in the World Trade Center as you were telling the story. You were just so. Vivid with what you were saying. We were right there with you. And that's the thing that I think is a lot harder to do in a virtual environment than it is in a in an environment where you're actually speaking to people.   Peter William Murphy ** 30:13 Yeah, that's I told you when we had a chat before I came on, that it's really great honor to speak to you. And you know, I really do love your story and the way that you tell it, and of course, about your guide dog that led you out. It's really like an amazing story   Michael Hingson ** 30:36 well, and you know, it's it, it's a team effort. Both of us had jobs to do, and it was a matter of me being the team leader and keeping the team on course and doing the things that we needed to do. But it did work out well, and I'm glad about that. So it's that's important, but tell me more about the school that you're trying to start as you're working toward it, what will it be? Well, we   Peter William Murphy ** 31:07 are deadline to open it up was in three weeks ago, we found three buildings. I can't go into the detail, but it's, let's just say that, you know, someone said one price in the advertisements, and then when we got face to face, there was a new price. There was a lot of that kind of carry on. So my wife and I had a discussion, and we said, let's put peak English online first and get a base in because we do plan to either maybe perhaps move to Ireland in the future. So it is going to have to be a business that can, you know, move anywhere. We are going to have to have a online base. We've started working with the school in Brazil, and we've got some clients in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. So it's a nice space to get online at the moment, as we head into September, when all the kids are back to school, and then we will start small. We on sub stack. I started a small GoFundMe to help me reach my goal before the deadline, and people were very, very supportive. They gained a lot of traction. And then I spoke with my subscribers, and I said I gave them the plan because I like to tell them to know what's going to happen if they're paid subscribers, because everything I make from my writing goes directly back into education. So everything I make from medium top back, everything it goes towards building the school. And we are now going to go into September on a good footing, but we're going to have to downsize our expectations and perhaps buy some or smaller but our methodology and our mission will remain the same, to make education affordable, to help students pass their IELTS exams, to give them an opportunity to go work in Canada, America, the UK, Ireland.   Michael Hingson ** 33:15 So yes, that's peak English. Well, there you go. Which is, which is pretty cool. Well, what does your wife work? Or does she just help you with the school? Or what does she do?   Peter William Murphy ** 33:26 My wife? What does she do? My wife is an artist. She's a gamer, she's a teacher and she's a website designer. She's everything. She's the Peter whisperer. She's definitely good at when I'm in a whirlwind writing or, you know, I'll do too many things at once. She's, she's like a tablet for ADHD. I think she just, she's good at, kind of directing me calm down. So she she knows everything. Michael, she's a teacher, English language teacher. Graduated from Palm college, university, and she worked in an ink, in a in a college, and she's just about to embark on her Master's. So one of us will get that degree.   Michael Hingson ** 34:18 Yeah, one way or another, you'll have one in the family. Yeah,   Peter William Murphy ** 34:22 exactly. Well, she has one, but she'll get a master's. Yeah,   Michael Hingson ** 34:26 you'll have a master's in the family. Do you have any children? No, no, no, we're children. No children yet? Well, that's another thing to look forward to in in the future, which is, which is,   Peter William Murphy ** 34:38 where we don't know what to do. We love turkey, but also we want them to have a, you know, a Turkish. We want them to, you know, have an appreciation for Turkey and for Ireland. So we're trying to figure out where would be the best place to to raise kids in the in. You know, current global environment. And you know, despite all the trouble that Ireland has in 2008 every time I go home, it's still solid ground. And you know, it's the older I get, the more I'm kind of, I think we will end up there eventually, but we'll see. Yeah, well,   Michael Hingson ** 35:28 it'll all work out in time. I suspect you strike me as individuals. Yeah, you strike me as a person that will, will make things work out. And you're, you're willing to step back and and do it in a methodical and in very positive way, which is, which is pretty cool. Well, tell me about some of your writing. What kind of what have you written?   Peter William Murphy ** 35:54 Well, I told you about the book. I'm halfway through. It's the working title is becoming useful. Then on medium, I started writing about mental health, and I got imposter syndrome again. Of course, there's nothing wrong with writing anecdotally about your experience, but sometimes on the internet, it's probably better not to talk about kind of medical kind of things, you know what I mean. So I said, well, what could I pivot to? And I started writing travel memoirs about my time on the island, and I ended up getting curated about 40 times by medium selected for curation is basically where they choose the staff choose your story, and they give it a boost into the algorithm, and basically it just gets sent all over the internet. So that happened 40 times. Then I wrote for your tango, which is a New York based website. And then after a year and a half on medium, I pivoted to sub stack, where I continued to do my writing. And about three months ago, sub stack began doing live streams, kind of like on YouTube or Instagram, they have these live streams on sub stack. So I didn't feel comfortable talking about my teaching on sub stack, because I felt like my my writing persona, not that it's controversial, had its own space in my life, so I kept it separate from my teaching, and I spoke with a friend, and we saw everyone on Sub stack was doing these live one hour streams. So we thought we would do a comedy show. So we started doing these 1015, minute comedy shows live on substack, and they became very popular. And a lot of you know big authors like Walter Reed, Robin wilding, who would be very popular on that website came on as guest, and it's kind of this new outlet where everything leads back to teaching, where I'm learning about video editing now and how to reach an audience, and then straight away, with peak English, I said, Okay, so that's that. Now I know more about how the internet works, so now open up a Tiktok and an Instagram and, you know, focus that into peak English. So our Instagram account now is growing. It's got close to 1000 followers, and our Tiktok is just open. So, yeah, going to use what I learned from sub stack to reach more students give more tips on how to pass exams on other social platforms.   Michael Hingson ** 39:12 Okay, and you've, you've created some fictional characters along the way, haven't you?   Peter William Murphy ** 39:20 Yeah, I have Peter and Freeman, who have a small little cult following on on substack, kind of based on a relationship I have with a friend of mine and my brother and I. My brother has done the Olympics. He's done the not as an athlete, but he's worked for Warner Brothers and other companies, doing the filming of it, and we're both very much in the film. We're working on a script, and we're trying to develop something at the moment together. Of course, our day jobs are our main focus, but it's very nice to have a similar interest with your brother, that you can just work. Worked on together, you know,   Michael Hingson ** 40:01 yeah, well, you know, back in the days of old radio, there was a ven Troy lacherist, Edgar Bergen, who had his creature, Charlie McCarthy. And it was interesting that a lot of times Charlie spoke for Edgar. Edgar would, would would communicate through Charlie, as opposed to just communicating himself, and it was a way that he felt comfortable doing, which was interesting.   Peter William Murphy ** 40:32 Yeah, that's interesting with Murphy's Law, which is my medium pending, after about a year and a half, I, you know, I said I can't keep writing about the island or this or that, or memoirs. I have to try grow as a writer. So I started trying different styles. I started writing a satire. I started writing a political satire or just pure comedy pieces. And lo and behold, I was okay at it, and they gained traction, and they were funny. And this is strange, so then Murphy's law went to kind of satire. And then I started writing about politics, say what's happening in the USA, the friction over there, some other world events. And I enjoyed it. The editors liked it, and it was published in some very good publications. And it was great. I found many voices, you know, but as time went on, and I love medium, and I love substack, it's, it's my passion, and it has helped me grow, not just as a writer, but as I mentioned earlier, helped me hone all the skills I use that become, you know, big enough on it into how I can create this business that my wife and I try to open up, and it has really helped. But you are always chasing the algorithm, you know, and I would rather have a product out there that helps people, you know, pass their exams, give them guidance with these as, you know, do volunteer work, things like that, that will actually help people. And people will remember it as peak English, as a brand that will help them, because Murphy's Law and the exile files online, I love them, and they are my babies, but they are very much passion projects that, like Reunion Island, have helped me figure out what I want to do. You know?   Michael Hingson ** 42:58 Yeah, well now you talk about Murphy's Law. And of course, we all know Murphy's Law is, if anything can go wrong at will. But there was a book written years ago that was called Murphy's Law and other reasons why things go wrong. And the first, I think I've heard of that, and the first thing in the book after Murphy's Law was o'toole's commentary on Murphy's Law, which was, Murphy was an optimist. I always thought was cute. I like that. Murphy was an optimist.   Peter William Murphy ** 43:30 Well, it's, you know, I think in life, like you said yourself, when, when that terrible day happens in the World Trade Center, it was like you could either lose your mind or you stay calm, you know. And no, I think, I think everybody, kind of you know, can learn from that, from learn from your book, that you just have to keep going moving forward. People react differently to different you know, setbacks like I mentioned, with the leg break and the bar closing another young man, it might, it might not have affected them at all. They would have said, It's okay. I just kept going. But it just so happened that it affected me that way. And you my brother, for example, he stuck it out. He stayed in Ireland, and he he did it so it's it really does depend on the person and how they how one can deal with what life throws at you. Some people think it was like it was the best thing I ever did, but looking back on it, like I wouldn't change it, but looking back on it, I would have liked to have done it, maybe in a calmer way.   Michael Hingson ** 44:56 The other the other side of that though, is that. So there are a lot of things that happen around us, and we don't have any control over the fact that they happen as such, but we absolutely have control over how we deal with what happened, and I think that's what so many people miss and don't, don't deal with and the reality is that we can always make choices based on what goes on around us, and we can do that and and that can be a positive thing, or it can be a negative thing, and that's a choice that we have To make.   Peter William Murphy ** 45:37 Yeah, you're dead, right? Yeah, I, when I first came to Turkey, I was only supposed to be here for three months, you know, but there was something intoxicating about the country. There just the smell, the food people and I about six months into my stay here, back in 2013, or 14, like I did, have that decision where I had to kind of look at myself saying, Am I staying here because I'm running away, or am I staying here because I feel this is where I can achieve what I want to achieve. And I stayed because I felt this was like the environment where I could kind of deal with myself and kind of deal with life, and, you know, just be who I wanted to be, not that I couldn't do that in Ireland, but just the 24 year old version of myself. That's what like he was thinking, you know? And I got to respect that,   Michael Hingson ** 46:46 sure. And the other part about it, though, is that you you at least ask yourself the question, and you really took the responsibility to try to make a decision and come up with an answer, which is what a lot of people avoid doing.   Peter William Murphy ** 47:01 I wrote out the pros and cons on a piece of paper. I still have that piece of paper under your bed, and went up to the top of the mountain. There's, there's a huge mountain next to the city here. I'd go up there every day, but I just sat down and I just stared at the piece of paper. And there was just something where I said, you know, I have to try and become something here, you know, because if I can become something, even if it's something small, like something, you know, as humble, as just being a language teacher or helping one person or two people, it doesn't matter if I can do that here, then it would have been worth it. Yeah, of course. If time goes on, you learn more, you become stronger, you become more educated, you become trained. And then if you just keep going, no matter how you know down the dumps you were in the past, if you just keep going, one day, you will wake up and you will know exactly who you are and what you're supposed to do, and that's kind of what Turkey and Reunion Island gave to me.   Michael Hingson ** 48:10 Do you think that as you were growing up and so on, that the system failed you?   Peter William Murphy ** 48:18 I do remember one time. And I have to preface this for saying that I hold nothing against this person, but I remember I went to the psychologist or counselor in, I won't name the university, and the university I went to and and I didn't know them at all, and I sat down and I told them I was struggling with mental health. And, you know, there was, I'm not saying anything now like but there was a lot of young men taking their own lives in Ireland around this time, a lot and women, and I wasn't like that at all, but I was feeling down, and I wanted to see what the university could do for me. And I remember just being turned away saying, Come back next Tuesday, you know, at 405 and I did find it very hard to kind of like communicate and get help in university through Washington, like I didn't need directions on how to get to the Lacher hall or anything like that. I knew all that, but there was something else going on that I needed help with, and there, it wasn't there at all. Since then, of course, in the last 1516, years, Ireland is, you know, I suggest mental health capital of the world. But when, when I was there, maybe, maybe I just caught them on a bad day.   Michael Hingson ** 49:58 Yeah, hard to say. But the. Other part about it is look at what you've done since then, and look how you talk about it today, which really illustrates a lot of resilience on your part. And I'm sure that that's something that had to develop over time, but you still did it, and you became a more resilient individual because of all of that.   Peter William Murphy ** 50:22 Yeah, I'd say I've got that for my mom and dad. They're very resilient. But also that resilience has changed from, you know, booking a one way ticket to reunion and, you know, just doing all that crazy stuff, then go ahead and stand ball bus rides around Turkey, not knowing where I'm going, not having money, not enough for rent, all this kind of stuff. But it's changed because I remember I got a job partnering with a recruitment company that's based in Amsterdam, and I remember just willy nilly booking the flight over to Amsterdam, and just kind of, I just gotten married, and I Michael. I was not resilient at all. I did not want to go, I did not want to travel, I wanted to be at home with my wife, you know what I mean? And so I definitely got softer in other ways. So your resilience does change. It becomes more kind of a mental toughness than, say, that kind of young book physical resilience that you had when you were younger. It completely switches.   Michael Hingson ** 51:32 Yeah, well, and I think resilience is, is really, to a large degree about the whole concept of, well, mental toughness, or maybe the ability to look at what you're doing and going through and being able to make a decision about how to proceed, I think that's really kind of more of it than anything else, right, right? And so resilience, I think, as oftentimes, it's a term that's overused, but the reality is, I think what resilience really is is your ability to keep things whoever you are, keep things in perspective, and be able to step back and ask the tough questions of yourself and listen to your inner self and get the answers that you need. Yes.   Peter William Murphy ** 52:25 If that makes sense. It does. It makes perfect sense. Just gotta keep going. Yeah, yeah, yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 52:35 You do have to keep going, and it's kind of important to do that, but you've had a lot of different things that you've done. You know, you've been, you're an author, by the way. Do you still make drinks anywhere?   Peter William Murphy ** 52:51 No, I just at home, right away home. Good for you. Yeah? Yeah, we it's a drinking God. Drinking is such a funny one. It's something that just, I don't know, dissolved from my life. When I aged 30, I didn't become a teetotaler or anything like that. Like I'll still have red wine and I'll be here with friends, but I rarely touch the stuff. And I think it's mostly due to the fact that I start work so early in the morning, you know, and I just cannot wake up with any sort of grogginess. I leave black coffee, you know, look at the news for 20 minutes, pet my cat, take a shower and then start, yeah.   Michael Hingson ** 53:42 Well, my wife and I used to have a drink on Friday night. I mean, we're capable. We were capable of going to restaurants and parties and occasionally have something. But I know since she passed in 2022 we were married 40 years. I part of honoring her is that I have a drink on Friday night. One drink. I don't because I've never nice. I've never really felt that I need to have alcohol or anything like that. I've never been a great fan of the taste, but I have a drink to honor her on Friday night. So that's kind of fun.   Peter William Murphy ** 54:21 Yeah, that's very nice. I mean, we it's my wife's birthday in two days, actually, so I'm very lucky. She's very she's like me in a way. I want to take her to a nice, fancy restaurant, or to do this and do that, but she just wants a chicken burger. And hello, yeah, so we just go out to our favorite restaurant. And you know, they're good burgers. They're pretty gourmet, but yeah, she's pretty down to earth with me. And yeah, we have a lot of fun together. And yeah. But I'm currently planning her birthday presents as as I'm speaking to you.   Michael Hingson ** 55:07 If you could go back and talk to a younger Peter, what would you what would you tell them? What would you want them to learn?   Peter William Murphy ** 55:15 Oh, I would tell him to go straight to a to talk to somebody, yeah, just to go straight to talk to somebody, that's the biggest thing. I had an interview where I was the host yesterday with a man who does Astro photography, and one of his, you know, other projects he does. He's a recovering alcoholic. Where he's he really talks about, you know, men talking to other men too, like, if your friend call, pick up, always speak. Tell people what's going on. Of course, don't nag people and to tell them every problem you have, but if you're down into dumps, you should talk to somebody. So anybody who's like young, you know, late, late teens coming up, should definitely talk to someone straight away, because I think a few simple sentences from a professional could have saved me a lot of let's call them headaches in the future, all   Michael Hingson ** 56:28 too often we the way we're taught. We just don't get encouraged to do that, do we?   Peter William Murphy ** 56:34 No, no. People listen. People are good. People will do what they can. But I think sometimes, I think the way it's framed maybe scares men. I think we're a lot better now, but maybe 1015, years ago, and even before that, trying to get a kid to, you know, talk to professional, nobody wants to be different in that way. You know, back then anyway and but it's so healthy. It's so good to have someone who can regurgitate back what you've just told them, but in a clear, calm fashion that you know makes sense. It does the world of good. It's, it's, it's better than medicine   Michael Hingson ** 57:27 for most. Puts a lot of things in perspective, doesn't it? It does, yeah, which, which makes a lot of sense. Well, yeah, I think this has been great. I've very much enjoyed having the opportunity to talk with you and and and hear a lot of great life lessons. I hope everyone who is out there listening to us appreciates all the things that you had to say as well. If anybody wants to reach out to you, how do they do that?   Peter William Murphy ** 57:57 Well, we're on Instagram as peak English. We're also on Tiktok as peak English,   Michael Hingson ** 58:04 peak as in P, E, A, K, that's right   Peter William Murphy ** 58:07 behind me here. So if anybody can see it's there's the spelling on my wallpaper.   Michael Hingson ** 58:14 And, yeah, a lot of people probably aren't watching videos, so that's why I asked you to spell   Peter William Murphy ** 58:19 it. Yeah? Well, actually, I'm blocking it, so I moved out of the way. There   Michael Hingson ** 58:23 you go. Well, I won't see it,   Peter William Murphy ** 58:27 yeah, so I Yeah. So that's the best way to get in contact with me. You can Google me. Peter William Murphy, medium writer, I pretty much on the top of the lid, if you're interested in writing, also the exile files. And we're also on YouTube with the exile files, so there's lots of stuff going on. This is an English speaking audience, so I'm assuming nobody's going to want lessons from me. So if you're interested in my writing, check out medium and sub stack. And if you know anybody of friends who needs English, tell them about peak English, and I will help you.   Michael Hingson ** 59:11 There you go. Well, I don't know, there may be people who aren't the greatest English speakers listening who, who might reach out. Well, I hope that they do, and I hope they appreciate all that you've offered today. I really appreciate you coming on and spending an hour with us. I hope that all it's an honor. Oh, it's been fun.

A poeta e historiadora angolana Ana Paula Tavares, autora de uma vasta obra literária em prosa e poesia e de textos científicos, é a vencedora do Prémio Camões 2025. Em comunicado emitido em 8 de outubro, o júri da DGLAB sublinha “a sua fecunda e coerente trajetória de criação estética e, em especial, o seu resgate de dignidade da Poesia”. No podcast A Beleza das Pequenas Coisas recuperamos a entrevista que a escritora deu a Bernardo Mendonça em 19 de abril de 2024. Vale a pena ouvi-la. ---- Após a independência de Angola, a guerra continuou e Paula Tavares fugiu muitas vezes, mas escreveu e ensinou sempre. Tinha 33 anos quando publicou o seu primeiro livro de poesia, “Ritos de passagem”, em 1985. A obra foi catalogada de imprópria para senhoras de bom nome e bom porte. Porque a sua poesia rasgava com a ideia de mulher-continente, dando-lhe corpo, identidade e sexualidade. Mas é hoje uma das vozes literárias mais amadas e destacadas de Angola, com diversas antologias poéticas publicadas no mundo. O seu último livro, “Poesia Reunida - seguido de Água Selvagem”, saiu em 2023, pela Caminho, e é um tremor poético. Enquanto historiadora e professora da Faculdade de Letras, em Lisboa, assina Ana Paula Tavares e colabora atualmente com a RDP África. “Um bom poema deve conter simplicidade, que o faz sobreviver ao tempo. Cada dia com menos palavras, cada palavra com menos sílabas só para poder ouvir os sopros.” Ouçam-na aqui nesta conversa em podcast com Bernardo MendonçaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last weekend, the English reggae band UB 40 played in the Orpheum in Los Angeles and included in the set their 1980 song “Tyler”. Tyler is guilty white judges said soWhat right do we got to say it's not soTyler is guilty white judges said soWhat right do we got to say it's not soTyler is guilty white judges said soWhat right do we got to say it's not soTyler is guilty white judges said soWhat right do we got to say it's not soIn the audience was the song's muse Gary Tyler who, as a sixteen year old in 1974, was put on death row for a crime he didn't commit:Appeal to the governor, of LouisianaYou may get an answer the process is slowFederal court won, too much to openHe's been there for five years and they won't let him goThis week, Tyler released his autobiography, Stitching Freedom, in which he tells the story of the 41 years he spent in Angola high security prison for his “crime”. Yes, the process was slow - shamefully slow. It's the shockingly true story of injustice, defiance and hope in Louisiana's bloodiest prison. Tyler is free now, living in Los Angeles, having successfully stitched his life together. He doesn't seem to have forgiven the system for this injustice (why should he?), yet the one thing that 41 years in Angola clearly didn't destroy was Gary Tyler's humanity. So I guess there's hope in this tragic story. 1. A 16-Year-Old Scapegoat for Racial Violence Gary Tyler was arrested at age 16 during a racial confrontation at a newly integrated Louisiana school in 1974. After a 13-year-old white boy was fatally shot during the chaos, police brutally beat Tyler to extract a confession he never gave, then charged him with first-degree murder despite no evidence linking him to the crime.2. Political Prisoners Saved His Life In Angola's death row, Tyler found unexpected mentors - former Black Panthers and civil rights activists who recognized his case as part of systemic injustice. These older inmates taught him to channel his anger into education and activism, helping him write letters that would eventually bring national attention to his case through organizations like Amnesty International.3. Finding Purpose in America's Bloodiest Prison Despite facing execution, Tyler transformed his imprisonment into service. He became president of multiple prison organizations and, most meaningfully, a hospice volunteer caring for dying inmates - including some of the very men who had mentored him. This work became his “sense of redemption” and healing.4. Justice Denied, Freedom Granted Tyler was never exonerated. Despite multiple appeals reaching the Supreme Court and three favorable parole board recommendations, politics kept him imprisoned. He was finally released in 2016 only because of new Supreme Court rulings against juvenile life sentences - not because the system admitted its mistake.5. Stitching a Life Back Together Tyler discovered quilting in prison, initially resisting it as “feminine” before recognizing it as both a way to help dying inmates leave something for their families and a metaphor for his own healing. Now a professional artist in Pasadena, he literally and figuratively pieces together a life that was torn apart, remaining optimistic that struggle against injustice must continue.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

This open access book is about Mozambicans and Angolans who migrated in state-sponsored schemes to East Germany in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s. They went to work and to be trained as a vanguard labor force for the intended African industrial revolutions. While they were there, they contributed their labor power to the East German economy. This book draws on more than 260 life history interviews and uncovers complex and contradictory experiences and transnational encounters. What emerges is a series of dualities that exist side by side in the memories of the former migrants: the state and the individual, work and consumption, integration and exclusion, loss and gain, and the past in the past and the past in the present and future. By uncovering these dualities, the book explores the lives of African migrants moving between the Third and Second worlds. Devoted to the memories of worker-trainees, this transnational study comes at a time when historians are uncovering the many varied, complicated, and important connections within the global socialist world.

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:48  Hi, Be It babe. Happy Friday. We made it. We did it. We're here. I am so excited for these short episodes, because they're just, they're here to inspire you. And honestly, like, sometimes, like, we were kids, like, didn't we, like, live for Fridays. And now it's kind of like, okay, we made it. We survived. There's a lot going on. There's a lot always going on. There's always been that way. But these episodes are here to remind you that there's still things that you can celebrate. There's still good stuff that's happening. You're still doing things, even if around you, if it just feels like chaos and overwhelm. So I share a winof yours, a win of mine, also some inspiration from something that I saw, that we can all think about, celebrate or get mad about, and then a little mantra for you to take with you on your way. And hopefully it's something you can share with a friend or run a Post-It, and I love for you to your share your wins, to send them into the beitpod.com/questions. But this really inspired me. So this is really, really cool. 16 incarcerated fathers were reunited with their daughters for a daddy-daughter dance held inside the prison. Freaking the coolest thing the prison system, like bothers me so much because we don't do a really good job like rehabilitating people, making people feel like human beings. We treat them like animals, and we want them to act like a human and like Maslow's hierarchy of needs is like a real thing. So this is so cool, and it's so it says, for a few sacred hours, San Quentin didn't feel like prison. The prison chapel transformed into a holy ground, draped walls, soft music, a red carpet, floral centerpieces replaced concrete and coldness. For a moment, it was hard to believe we were still in a maximum security prison. Outside, 16 incarcerated fathers stood waiting, some in suits for the first time, others trembling as they tied ties with unsteady hands. They waited for years, for this moment, some decades, then the doors open. There's actually like a whole documentary on YouTube. Now I gotta go watch it. But the daughter stepped on the red carpet, little girls in bright dresses, grown women with hearts full of ache and hope. One by one, they walked into arms that had long to hold them. I'm gonna cry. Fathers fell at their knees in tears. Prodigals reunited. Kelon hadn't held his daughter in 20 years. Carrington wept as his daughters hugged him for the first time. Steven danced with his “bundle of joy.” Vincent read a handwritten letter to his daughter Autumn, filled with love, apology, and redemption. It wasn't just beautiful.
It was sacred.
It was the Gospel, tangible, trembling, alive. You made it happen. You gave 21 daughters dresses, flights, hotel rooms, corsages, a meal, and a memory they'll never forget. You brought heaven to prison. You reminded these men: they are still dads. And reminded these girls: they are still daughters. This wasn't just an event.
This was healing.
This was hope.
This was holy. Anyways, there's a the handle that handled that did this is God Behind Bars are doing another father-daughter dance in Angola prison. This year, you can donate $10 a month or anything to help for pay for tuxes, family travel, dresses, food and so much more. You can go to Godbehindbars.com. Like, however you feel about religion. Like, I just think that this is just like the most impactful thing for people in their lives. Like, people make mistakes, people are put in situations that things happen, and our justice system is really not always just. And so I just am this just really melts my heart. And like, how cool, how cool. And I'm from California, up past where San Quentin is. We drive by it, and it's like, just not a place you want to be. And like, the fact that they took the time to do this, to make people feel like the human beings that they are, and really help establish relationships that like can be helpful for for reestablishing these people in society, if they ever get to like, it's humongous. It's a huge deal. So anyways, that is what inspired me. There can be inspiration, right? Lesley Logan 4:16  Okay, a win of yours. Melissa Hargrove, someone I was been around in our lives for a long time and just really inspires me all the time. She said, wanted to share an ongoing win. After our eLevate retreat in March, I reconnected with my OG partner, Lisa. We decided to make a commitment to get together and practice our original goal was to find as much time as we could and do duets with Lesley. After the first lesson, we knew we needed more. We have more duets scheduled through September. Go us! And taking it a step further, we decided to try to do our best to meet weekly, even just to do a Joe's gym or just move. Today, we opted to do the June chair class, It Takes Two, and I'm pretty sure I can speak for us both that we dusted that piece of equipment and we have a new reignited passion for it. So thank you, Lisa for finding time to work with me. And just proud that we have been able to keep the commitment to our practice. I told her today that had we not done the class together it would have taken me two hours to do it, because I would have had to pause, pet my cat, get a drink, maybe change the laundry and so on. But holy cow, when you flow at a brisk pace without pausing, it feels amazing. So thanks again, Lisa for keeping us on point and LL for an inspiring class. Yeah, I want to add to this win. Because you know what, Melissa Hargrove, your partner, Lisa, put a win up that adds to this. So here we go and adding on to that win. This is Melissa. Melissa. I wanted to add to this win this week after already doing two Pilates classes Tuesday, Melissa joined me for our scheduled practice session. I am so very grateful for her commitment to our practice together. It means so much that she did not cancel. As I was looking forward to moving with her, we agreed to do a 30 minute session, which was a win win for both of us since I had the opportunity to walk and do a stair climbing session in 95 degree heat at lunch. Glad we could support each other and can find the time and the win in any situation. Way to go ladies. So this is why Be It Till You See It exists. This is what we're here to do, bring people together, bring women together. Remind you that like you can, right? You can have counterparts that like will show up even when you're like, I don't really want to do this, and this happens all the time. I'm sure I'll have a win coming up with some of our other OPC members who literally get together every Wednesday at 8am to do the workout that they're members of. You know, sometimes it does take that kind of village, and it's okay to take that village time. It's okay to ask for help. It's okay to have an accountability buddy, but this is really important to me. When you make an accountability buddy, you guys need to be completely honest and thoughtful of the other person, so that you don't start canceling here and canceling there, like, oh, it's just 30 minutes. No, show up for each other, right? It helps the other person make time for themselves as well. So I really love this lady. Thank you so much for inspiring us to move our bodies, but also to connect with other people in our lives and realize, like we need each other too. We need to be there too. Lesley Logan 4:39  Okay, so my win, I had a win to share with you. I'm gonna save that win for next week. It's already a little delayed to share with you, so I'm gonna share it because a win is actually, I wish I had Brad here. Tomorrow's our 10 year wedding anniversary. 10 years, holy moly. We're celebrating together. I think we'll actually be together for it, because we're in Chicago, so we'll celebrate it together, and we're like, usually we're on a plane and like, because of the time travel distance, like the third just disappears in our lives. And so multiple anniversaries that we haven't been together, but this one, we get to do it together, doing something we love, with people we love to be around at, Pilates On Tour in Chicago. I know you're like, 10 years how is that like? That's that's a win. It's a win not because, like, it's like a struggle to stay married to him or anything like that, but just that we like continually make time to be with each other and to make sure that we're doing things together that are fun, and we challenge each other in really amazing ways. He challenges me to put things away in an actual spot. I challenged him to be on time. You know, these are, these are these are wins for two ADHD people in the same household. But truly, I'm so blessed. I'm so grateful. And recently, we were sharing how we met, because people always want to know how we met, and maybe that's a podcast episode for a different day, but whenever we get to tell it now that we've been married 10 years, there's there's something really cool about, like, looking back on the people that we were who chose each other and we chose to do something really scary, and that's a win. So here we are celebrating 10 years of marriage. And it's not that the 10 years of marriage is what I'm celebrating for us. I'm, like, kind of celebrating our past selves, making really huge decisions that could have easily been written off and, like, not made a priority. So huge thanks to Brad and Lesley in their early 30s for the things that they did, but also just for all the people in our lives who have been friends along the way, who've become family, and that's our win. 10 years of marriage. I love it. I love you. You're amazing. Lesley Logan 8:58  Okay, let me get you an affirmation to repeat with your on yourself, on your drive, on your walk. There's room for me at the table. There is room for me at the table. There is. Take a seat. You know, sometimes we think, oh, I don't want to bother people, oh, and I'll be I don't have enough accolades. Oh, who am I to do this? My neighbor recently, saw the G7 he's like, oh my god, don't, don't write my thing down. Like, who am I to be here? And like, what he actually is there to do, like, change the lives of people in this world and the politicians that are there need to hear what he has to say. There's room for you at the table. There's room for me at the table. Love you so much, and you know what to do.
