Izrael zaatakował Iran w serii zmasowanych nalotów bombowych na ośrodki nuklearne, bazy wojskowe, domy naukowców zaangażowanych w program nuklearny oraz dzielnice mieszkaniowe w Teheranie i innych miastach. Izraelczycy twierdzą, że jest to atak wyprzedzający, a Iran stał na progu wyprodukowania dziewięciu bomb atomowych. W atakach zginął dowódca Korpusu Strażników Rewolucji – elitarnej jednostki wojskowej – a także szef sztabu armii i kilku wysokich rangą naukowców związanych z programem nuklearnym.W odpowiedzi Iran wystrzelił sto dronów w kierunku Izraela. Jak twierdzą źródła izraelskie, wszystkie zostały przechwycone jeszcze przed wejściem w izraelską przestrzeń powietrzną. Prezydent Trump powiedział, że został uprzedzony o ataku, ale Stany Zjednoczone nie biorą w nim udziału.Jak piątkowe wydarzenia wpływają na sytuację w regionie?

Ruská tajná služba FSB se obává vzrůstajícího vlivu Číny přímo v Rusku a konkrétně jeho přinejmenším potenciálních územních nároků na ruském Dálném východě. S touto zajímavou, byť nikterak překvapivou zprávou nedávno přišel přední americký list The New York Times, odvolávající se na dokument, uniklý z ruských tajných služeb. Má osm stran, získala ho hackerská skupina Ares Leaks a jeho pravost zmíněnému americkému listu potvrdili představitelé šesti západních rozvědek.Všechny díly podcastu Názory a argumenty můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.
On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with a call between President Trump and Xi, two days of meetings between the U.S. and China in London, and an apparent effort from both sides to de-escalate. Topics include: Retracing steps of the past few weeks, clarity for the U.S. and others on the PRC's leverage over rare earths, the possibility of the U.S. easing tech export controls, and the lack of trust on both sides in the wake of the past few months. From there: The U.S. has concerns about a Chinese embassy in the UK, the New York Times surfaces a purported FSB document outlining various counterespionage anxieties related to the PRC, and Xi's daughter joins a dinner with Lukashenko. At the end: People's Daily publishes an interview with Ren Zhengfei, Xi continues his attempts to curb excess among party members, and Victor Wembanyama visits a Shaolin Monastery.
A hall of mirrors with no exits, The Poet's Game is a sophisticated portrait of a spy working to uncover layers of deceit behind a Russian plot on the American president.Alex Matthews thought he had left it all behind: his CIA career, the viper's den of bureaucracy at headquarters, the deceits of the cat-and-mouse game of double agents, and the sudden trips to Russia, which poisoned his marriage and made him an absentee husband and father, with tragic results.But then the Director came asking for a favor. Something that only Alex could do because it involved the asset Byron—a Russian agent whom Alex had recruited. Byron had something of great interest to the CIA; the Director said it was a matter of grave national security that implicated the White House, and that Byron would hand over the kompromat once he was extricated from Russia.But Alex is a different man than when he had run Moscow station: he has pieced his life back together after a tragic accident killed his wife and daughter—but the scars remain. He left the agency; started a financial firm that made him wealthy; and met a new woman, Anna, who works as an interpreter in the CIA. Anna is beautiful and supportive and helps him find love again after years of drowning in grief alongside his son. Throughout the last years, Alex has remained, in his mind, a patriot, and so he begrudgingly accepts the Director's request.Something, though, doesn't feel right about the whole operation from the start. The Russians seem one step ahead and the CIA suspects there is a traitor in the agency, passing along secrets to the Russians. Alex realizes that, by getting back into the game, he has risked everything he has worked for: his marriage, his family's safety, and the trust of his closest colleagues—one of whom is betraying him. As the noose tightens around Alex, and the FSB closes in on Byron, the operation becomes a hall of mirrors with no exits. To find redemption, Alex must uncover Byron's secrets or risk losing everything.The Poet's Game is a remarkably sophisticated and emotionally resonant portrait of a spy from a renowned master of the genre.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Marines Deployed to LA as Riots Escalate – President Trump authorizes 700 Marines to protect federal buildings amid ongoing violence in Los Angeles. While Governor Newsom sues to block federal control of the National Guard, Democrats and local media struggle to characterize the unrest, with some calling it “just people having fun.” Bryan unpacks the political, legal, and cultural implications of this chaotic response. Mexican President's “Mobilize” Call Sparks GOP Fury – Claudia Sheinbaum tells her “countrymen” in the U.S. to protest Trump's remittance tax, drawing backlash and proposals to hike the tax from 3.5% to 15%. Bryan questions whether Sheinbaum's words crossed into foreign interference, and revisits evidence of Mexican nationalist and Marxist groups targeting ICE and law enforcement in California. Russia's Spy Agency Warns Against Growing Ties with China – A leaked FSB report reveals Moscow's deep concerns over Chinese espionage, Arctic encroachment, and Beijing's long-term territorial ambitions in Russia's Far East. Bryan explains how this intel vindicates Trump's long-standing strategy to pull Russia away from China. Israel Arms Gaza Militias to Undermine Hamas, But Risks Mount – Netanyahu confirms Israel is arming a rival Gaza clan to weaken Hamas. While potentially saving Israeli soldiers, the move raises fears of long-term instability and mirrors past U.S. missteps in arming regional militias. The strategy could also complicate Trump's fragile peace negotiations with Iran, which may resume as soon as this weekend.

Le médecin légiste Philippe Charlier a analysé les restes de figures historiques comme Richard Cœur de Lion, Henri IV ou Napoléon (récits réunis dans Autopsie des cœurs célèbres, éd. Tallandier). En 2017, avec Jean-Christophe Brisard, il accède au siège du FSB pour examiner la mâchoire attribuée à Hitler. Staline, lui, a volontairement semé le doute sur sa mort. Ces nouvelles révélations sur la mort d'Hitler remettent en cause la version du suicide.Tous les samedis à 19h sur France 5, Aurélie Casse et son équipe reviennent sur les événements qui ont marqué la semaine écoulée autour d'invités fil rouge.
Este domingo el ejército ucraniano ejecutó una de las operaciones militares más audaces de la guerra contra Rusia, la llamada Operación Telaraña. La operación consistió en un ataque con drones minuciosamente planificado durante un año y medio dirigido contra bases aéreas rusas a miles de kilómetros del frente. Su sorprendente éxito ha demostrado la capacidad de Ucrania para innovar y desafiar la superioridad aérea del enemigo. Los daños que ha provocado el ataque se estiman en no menos de 7.000 millones de dólares, por lo que esta operación supone un hito en la guerra asimétrica moderna que pasará a ser estudiado en las academias militares de todo el mundo. La operación, dirigida por el Servicio de Seguridad de Ucrania, el SBU, bajo el mando de su jefe, Vasyl Malyuk, y la supervisión del presidente Volodímir Zelenski, apuntó a cinco bases aéreas rusas: Belaya (Irkutsk), Olenya (Murmansk), Dyagilevo (Riazán), Ivanovo Severny (Ivanovo) y Ukrainka (Amur). Estas instalaciones albergaban bombarderos estratégicos Tu-95, Tu-22 y Tu-160, así como aviones de vigilancia A-50, esenciales para los ataques con misiles de crucero contra Ucrania. Según el Gobierno ucraniano, un total de 117 drones de tipo FPV (visión en primera persona) dañaron o destruyeron 41 aviones rusos, o, lo que es lo mismo, el 34% de la flota de bombarderos estratégicos de su fuerza aérea. El método de ejecución fue tan ingenioso como efectivo. Los drones, pequeños cuadricópteros con cargas explosivas, fueron introducidos en Rusia de contrabando ocultos en cajas de madera con techos retráctiles montadas sobre camiones. Conductores rusos, aparentemente ajenos al cargamento que transportaban, detuvieron sus vehículos en ubicaciones cercanas a las bases aéreas. En el momento del ataque los techos se abrieron por control remoto liberando enjambres de drones que volaron distancias cortas para impactar contra sus objetivos. Esto permitió evadir los sistemas de defensa aérea rusos, como los Pantsir y los S-300, diseñados para interceptar amenazas de mayor alcance. La operación no solo ha infligido cuantiosos daños materiales, sino que también ha tenido un impacto psicológico y estratégico. Zelenski ha revelado que la base de operaciones ucraniana en Rusia estaba ubicada junto a una oficina del FSB, la agencia de inteligencia rusa, lo que subraya los fallos de seguridad en el interior de Rusia. La revelación pública de los detalles tácticos, algo no muy habitual en estos casos, busca sembrar la alarma dentro de Rusia, donde ahora cada camión se percibe como una amenaza. En la región de Irkutsk, se han producido grandes atascos de tráfico provocados por inspecciones de vehículos tras el ataque. Rusia ha confirmado los ataques en cinco regiones y ha admitido que varios aviones se incendiaron en Murmansk e Irkutsk, aunque asegura haber repelido los ataques en Ivanovo, Riazán y Amur. Pero la pérdida de bombarderos estratégicos, algunos de los cuales son de origen soviético y ya no se fabrican, representa un golpe importante tanto para sus capacidades ofensivas como de prestigio. Se desconoce hasta qué punto esto afectará a su fuerza aérea, pero su capacidad para lanzar misiles de largo alcance contra Ucrania se verá limitada, al menos temporalmente. El éxito que se han apuntado los ucranianos, que se ha llegado a comparar con el ataque a Pearl Harbor por su audacia, viene a recordarnos que los drones se han convertido ya en un arma fundamental para cualquier ejército. De forma autónoma y sin depender de apoyo occidental directo, los ucranianos han demostrado su capacidad para ejecutar operaciones complejas redefiniendo las reglas de la guerra moderna. Mientras las negociaciones de paz en Estambul avanzan lentamente, este ataque fortalece la posición de Ucrania y envía a Moscú el mensaje de que puede atacar tan lejos como deseen y con total precisión.

The conversation concludes with reflections on the human element in digital interactions and the importance of community in business.Choice quotes: "Creating content is no longer the problem.""Quality control on steroids.""Trust but verify, as Reagan said.""We believe we can help them come and grow.""This is how we're going to do it.""The King's English is way behind…""You got honey trapped, mate."Russell Colvin on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/russellcolvin/Mark Wilson on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-wilson-b1778763/Rony Vexelman on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ronyvexelman/As ever, we thank Optimove for their support, which helps us to keep this podcast ticking over.

Rysslandsgranskaren och en av samtidens mest inflytelserika journalister Christo Grozev intervjuas av Magnus Thorén. Han har avslöjat ryska spioner, Putinregimens kopplingar till mordförsök på oppositionella och hur den ryska säkerhetstjänsten FSB opererar i Väst. För det har Christo Grozev hamnat på Putins dödslista och lever under konstant hot. Hur ser han på framtiden för Ryssland, utvecklingen i USA under Donald Trump och de risker han utsätter sin familj för genom sitt arbete? Känns priset för sanningen ibland för högt?

Despite an interconnected and increasingly digitalised world, a historical black cloud has been hanging over an area of finance relied upon by institutions, retail and a billion people associated with migrant work: Cross-border payments.Domestic money transfer has seen a dramatic overhaul due to the digital revolution of recent years. But sending money internationally is a whole different ball game. Each country operates their own payment systems at varying levels of technological maturity and regulation. Due to this, historically, sending money has been both time consuming and costly, whether that is B2B, B2C or C2C.There has been improvements over the last few years, yet the industry still has some work to do. In this episode of The Next Five, Pratik Khowala, Global Head of Transfer Solutions at Mastercard discusses how scale and collaboration can solve some of the key challenges. Emanuela Saccarola, Head of Cross-Border Payments at Citi delves into the B2B landscape, echoes the need for industry collaboration and discusses the increasingly relevant role of digital assets. Josh Gordon-Blake, EVP and GM, MGO at MoneyGram highlights the importance of remittances to the global economy and what an overhaul of the payments system can do for millions of people.

Depuis plus d'un quart de siècle, Vladimir Vladimirovitch Poutine dirige la Russie d'une main de fer. Fascinant pour les uns, effrayant pour les autres, l'ancien patron du KGB, devenu le FSB, les services secrets russes, est aujourd'hui l'homme qui fait trembler l'Europe et qui contribue à redéfinir l'ordre mondial. A la tête du plus grand pays du monde, il a projeté la Russie sous les regards des opinions publiques mondiales depuis le 24 février 2022 jour où l'armée russe a envahi le territoire ukrainien, provoquant l'une des plus graves crises de l'histoire récente du continent européen. Tout a été dit, écrit, filmé et documenté sur la vie de cet ancien espion devenu Président. Mais c'est bien un État, la Russie, cet empire multinational qui survivra à Vladimir Poutine qu'il faut en réalité comprendre. Un État et peut être aussi et surtout un peuple. Pour comprendre la Russie de Vladimir Poutine, je reçois aujourd'hui un spécialiste des institutions politiques, enseignant de culture générale à la prépa ISP : Samir Hammal.

In this eye-opening episode, Jim Wallis and Robert P. Jones dive deep into the latest poll data revealing President Trump's unprecedented negative approval ratings within his first 100 days back in office. Discover how Trump ranks as the most unpopular president since World War II at this stage, with a majority of Americans-including 55% of independents-viewing him as a dangerous dictator whose power must be limited to protect American democracy. The discussion also highlights the sharp racial and religious divides in Trump's support, with White Evangelical Protestants largely backing him, while Christians of Color and other faith groups overwhelmingly reject his leadership. Tune in for a compelling analysis of what these numbers mean for America's political and moral future.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Médias dans la ligne, encadrement patriotique pro-Kremlin de la jeunesse, passeportisation intensive... Plongée dans la vie de la partie de la région de Kherson administrée par la Russie, à l'heure où le plan de cessation des hostilités de Washington veut faire accepter les conquêtes militaires de l'armée de Vladimir Poutine comme un état de fait. De notre envoyée spéciale à Genishensk,Djankoï, un des postes de contrôle des entrées et sorties entre la partie de la région de Kherson où flotte le drapeau russe et la Crimée annexée en 2014. C'est notamment par là que sont entrés les soldats de Vladimir Poutine lancés à l'assaut de l'Ukraine en février 2022. Plus de trois ans après, ce nœud stratégique reste sous très haute surveillance. Contrôle systématique des identités, fouille minutieuse des véhicules et des bagages, potentiel examen poussé des téléphones et de leurs contenus, auxquels s'ajoute la menace planante d'un interrogatoire par le FSB (les services russes de sécurité intérieure).Pour la presse internationale accréditée en Russie, l'accès est soumis à une autorisation qui doit être sollicitée auprès des autorités locales.La partie de la région sous contrôle russe vit, elle, avec un couvre-feu strict de 22 heures à 6 heures. À Genishensk, la capitale administrative des autorités russes, située à 80 km de Djankoï, personne ne plaisante avec la règle : on doit passer ses dernières commandes au restaurant avant 19h, pour être sûr que chacun, clients comme membres du personnel, soit rentré chez soi à l'heure fixée.« Guerre idéologique »La ville est gardée à toutes ses entrées par des barrages militaires, et dans les rues, la présence des forces de sécurité (soldats, police militaire, garde nationale..) est imposante. La journée, malgré le soleil printanier, pas de promeneurs visibles le long des sentiers longeant la mer d'Azov ou bien dans les allées ombragées de la ville. On se déplace dans l'espace public pour vaquer à ses affaires avec un but précis, et la population locale tient ses conversations dans les magasins à voix basse, presque en murmurant. Les regards sur les étrangers de passage sont lourds de questions et d'inquiétude.Les armes parlent surtout dans une zone dite « d'accès spécial » le long d'une distance de 30 kilomètres en bordure du Dniepr. Ce jeudi 1er mai, selon un message sur Telegram de Vladimir Saldo, le dirigeant régional nommé par Moscou, une frappe de drones ukrainiens a tué au moins sept personnes et fait plus de 20 blessés dans la ville d'Olechky.Même si le bruit des armes est bien plus loin, à Genishensk on vit aussi toujours à l'heure de la guerre. Et pas seulement sur le plan militaire : « Jusqu'à aujourd'hui encore, nous menons une guerre idéologique »,explique Oksana Kalachnikova, cheffe du département de politique intérieure au sein de l'administration installée par la Russie, ainsi que la responsable du comité d'organisation de la célébration du 80e anniversaire de la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. « Et dans certains endroits, nous menons très activement une guerre de l'information, car il est clair qu'il y a encore ici des opposants, des pro-ukrainiens. »Radio Tavria, mise en place en 2023, est l'un des instruments de ce combat revendiqué. Elle diffuse en journée de la musique, des débats, et des bulletins d'actualités quasiment toutes les heures. Une édition peut ainsi débuter par le rapport quotidien rédigé par les forces armées russes, repris in extenso par la présentatrice :« Au cours de la journée écoulée, les formations armées ukrainiennes ont perdu dans la direction de Kherson plus de 90 militants ; des unités du groupement de troupes Dniepr ont vaincu les effectifs et détruit l'équipement d'une brigade d'assaut, de deux brigades de défense côtière et d'une brigade de défense. Les pertes ennemies comprennent un véhicule blindé de transport de troupes, deux véhicules blindés de combat, neuf véhicules, trois pièces d'artillerie, deux stations de guerre électronique, une station radar, une batterie et deux dépôts de munitions ».La suite concerne notamment les dernières annonces du gouverneur, les mesures prises par l'administration locale. Un contenu au total très similaire à ce qu'on peut lire, entendre ou voir dans les médias fédéraux légitimistes russes. Radio Tavria est là seule à diffuser officiellement dans cette partie de territoire annexé par la Russie en septembre 2022, à la suite de référendums condamnés et jugés fictifs et illégaux par l'Ukraine, soutenue notamment par l'administration Biden, l'Union européenne ainsi que l'Assemblée générale de l'ONU par un vote de 143 voix pour, cinq contre et 35 abstentions. Dans cette ville côtière qui fût longtemps une ville de villégiature comme en témoigne la présence de nombreux hôtels, il est quasiment impossible d'avoir accès à d'autres sources d'information que les médias officiels : internet passe très mal et les VPN ne fonctionnent quasiment pas.« Formater toute une nouvelle génération loyale au Kremlin »Pour renforcer davantage son emprise, la Russie mise sur l'avenir et intensifie tout particulièrement ses efforts financiers et humains en direction de la jeunesse. Les écoles sont l'objet d'une attention spéciale et pour cause : l'administration locale revendique de vouloir formater toute une nouvelle génération loyale au Kremlin. Sur la façade de l'une d'entre elles, le portrait fraîchement peint de Daria Douguina, la fille de l'idéologue ultranationaliste Alexandre Douguine, tuée en août 2022 dans la région de Moscou dans l'explosion de sa voiture. Journaliste et politologue, elle affichait comme son père un soutien ouvert à l'offensive russe en Ukraine.L'école numéro 3 de la ville fleure bon le neuf, et sa directrice Zoya Anatolevna Yasintseva la fait fièrement visiter : « Regardez, nous avons mis des tables de ping-pong ici », détaille-t-elle. « Nous avons aussi des espaces dédiés à l'entrainement pour l'aviron, et nous avons même une élève qui a ramené une médaille d'or d'une compétition à Moscou ». Zoya Anatolevna Yasintseva invite à entrer dans une classe d'adolescents de 14 -15 ans, réunis sous la houlette de membres d'un des nombreux mouvements de jeunesse encouragés par l'administration locale, le mouvement panrusse des volontaires pour la victoire, présent aussi dans les frontières internationalement reconnues de la Russie. C'est sa responsable locale, Yana Yakoucheva, étudiante de 20 ans à la faculté de médecine de Génishensk, qui s'adresse aux élèves. L'activité du jour : écrire aux combattants, actuels ou anciens, de l'armée russe : « Vous commencez par les mots "bonjour, cher soldat" ou “bonjour, cher vétéran” », conseille Yana Yakoucheva. « Après cela, vous pouvez écrire des mots de soutien, des mots de gratitude ».La jeune femme ne ménage pas ses efforts pour convaincre son jeune public de rejoindre son mouvement en vantant ses nombreuses activités. Avec notamment comme argument, un séjour cet hiver à Saint-Pétersbourg : « J'ai eu l'honneur d'être invitée le 27 janvier dernier aux commémorations de la fin du siège de Léningrad », dit-elle debout devant le tableau. « C'était vraiment cool, des émotions que je ne peux même pas décrire ». Clou du déplacement à ses yeux : « J'ai pu apercevoir deux présidents, Alexandre Loukachenko et Vladimir Vladmirovitch Poutine ».« Affiches dans les écoles pour rejoindre les formations militaires dans toute la Russie »Dans une autre classe, des élèves de 8 - 9 ans en uniforme, cheveux nattés ou ramassés en queue de cheval pour les fillettes, coupés net pour les petits garçons. Tous assis sages comme des images le long d'un mur où est notamment accroché le portrait de Vladimir Poutine. C'est le jour d'une leçon dont on leur a répété à quel point elle était essentielle : ce qu'on appelle la « conversation sur les choses importantes », soit un cours sur le patriotisme. L'institutrice précise en entrée en matière comme premier point cardinal : « Nous devons avoir foi en la vérité. Seule la vérité est nécessaire. Vous devez y croire. »Elle lance ensuite une vidéo sur fonds de chanson patriotique connue vantant la Russie martiale, le tout sur des images montrant Moscou et ses bâtiments officiels, ainsi que les parades militaires qui y défilent. « Voilà la capitale de notre patrie », dit l'enseignante aux enfants. Elle aussi, enfin, fait écrire aux élèves dans un silence studieux des lettres aux soldats russes « qui se battent pour nous, notre pays et votre futur », dit-elle, et fait réciter des poèmes patriotiques russes.Dans les couloirs, on se bouscule et on chahute comme dans n'importe quel établissement scolaire. Mais dans l'entrée de l'école, des affiches invitent à rejoindre des écoles militaires dans toute la Russie. Une table est aussi dressée pour mettre en valeur à la vue de tous les premières contributions scolaires sur les commémorations du 9 mai 1945 célébrant la capitulation de l'Allemagne nazie. Depuis le lancement de l'offensive contre l'Ukraine en 2022, les forces russes ont sécurisé des cérémonies du 9 mai dans les territoires conquis, avant même leur annexion. En cette année particulière, qui marque les 80 ans de la victoire des Alliés, l'administration locale présente un très large éventail d'efforts de formation des jeunes et des adultes, et de préparation de très nombreuses cérémonies de commémoration et événements, dont elle avance qu'elles seront évidemment très suivies. La comptabilité est en tout cas soigneusement entretenue et présentée par Oksana Kalachnikova : « L'année dernière, environ 15 000 personnes ont participé aux événements consacrés à la célébration du 9 mai. Ce chiffre ne concerne que la seule ville de Genichensk. Et cette année, je pense que nous allons largement battre ce record. »Le Kremlin s'attache depuis 2022 à faire un parallèle historique entre sa guerre en Ukraine et la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Y adhérer est une des démonstrations de loyauté essentielles exigées par le pouvoir.Une autre, tout aussi fondamentale pour Moscou, est l'acquisition de la citoyenneté russe. Là aussi, Oksana Kalachnikova vante les chiffres locaux en matière de passeportisation : « En avril de cette année, 16 000 passeports russes ont été délivrés au cours du seul premier trimestre. On parle désormais de plus de 250 000 passeports déjà attribués dans la région. Je pense que nous approchons le chiffre de 300 000. Cela représente la quasi-totalité de la population adulte de la région de Kherson car selon les statistiques officielles, elle compte 380 000 habitants. Ce travail a été récemment intensifié et nous constatons une dynamique positive, car c'est impossible de refuser la citoyenneté d'un État, qui fait tant pour vous ».Pour expliquer les chiffres qu'elle présente, l'administration installée par la Russie met en avant ses efforts pour reconstruire et rénover des routes et des bâtiments, avec l'idée que la qualité de vie serait aujourd'hui bien meilleure qu'avant.Ce passeport russe est surtout devenu nécessaire pour toute une série de procédures administratives. Selon des ONG, les civils des territoires annexés subissent des pressions pour le prendre. Kiev dénonce des méthodes « illégales » qui violent sa souveraineté. L'Union européenne a déclaré qu'elle « ne reconnaîtrait pas les passeports russes délivrés dans les régions d'Ukraine tenues par Moscou ».S'ajoute une date butoir : par oukaze de Vladimir Poutine signé le 20 mars dernier, les habitants de Genishensk comme ceux de tous les territoires sous administrés par la Russie ont jusqu'au 10 septembre dernier délaipour prendre un passeport russe. Au-delà, ceux qui ne l'ont pas fait seront considérés comme des migrants illégaux. Et devront partir.

Dr Yuri Felshtinsky is a prominent author, historian, and journalist, and expert on Russia and the former Soviet Union. He has appeared in hundreds of print, TV, and radio interviews worldwide, and is widely known as co-author of the book “Blowing Up Russia” with Alexander Litvinenko, a former Lieutenant Colonel in the FSB who was poisoned with radioactive polonium in London in 2006. His latest book – “Blowing up Ukraine: The Return of Russian Terror and The Threat of World War III”, was researched before the invasion of Ukraine, and is the first comprehensive investigation into the lethal methods Russia has used since 1999 to take over Ukraine – culminating in the full-blown unprovoked war in 2022 and mounting atrocities.----------BOOKS:From Red Terror to Terrorist State: Russia's Secret Intelligence Services and Their Fight for World Domination from Felix Dzerzhinsky to Vladimir Putin Hardcover – 4 Nov. 2023by Yuri Felshtinsky (Author), Vladimir Popov (Author)Publisher: Gibson House ----------LINKS: https://twitter.com/yfelshtinskyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/yuri-felshtinsky-55497940/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_Felshtinskyhttps://www.spectator.co.uk/writer/yuri-felshtinsky/----------ARTICLES:https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2023/09/03/yuri-felshtinsky-nothing-will-change-in-russia-until-the-security-services-are-dismantled_6122181_4.html----------Easter Pysanky: Silicon Curtain - https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtainCar for Ukraine has joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this special Easter season.

Professor Jesse Kaufman returns to The Common Bridge to deliver a sobering assessment of the Ukraine-Russia war three years after the invasion began. What started as a discussion about territorial disputes has revealed itself as something far more fundamental: Russia's existential denial of Ukrainian nationhood.Kaufman shatters common misconceptions about the conflict, explaining that contrary to popular belief, NATO expansion didn't trigger the war. Rather, Ukraine sought NATO protection only after Russia annexed Crimea in 2014. The professor offers rare perspective on both Ukrainian resilience and Russian strategic failures, drawing from his extensive regional expertise and recent visits to Poland where he witnessed the refugee crisis firsthand—notably populated almost exclusively by women and children, as Ukrainian men remained to fight.The conversation takes a particularly revealing turn when examining President Zelensky's precarious position. "Zelensky is a dead man," Kaufman states bluntly, explaining why Ukraine's leader faces permanent FSB targeting regardless of the war's outcome. This existential threat explains why Zelensky famously declared "I'm not playing cards" during his controversial White House meeting—a statement mockingly misinterpreted by many observers.Perhaps most concerning is Kaufman's assessment of Europe's defense capabilities. Despite pledges to increase military spending, European nations have become "thoroughly civilianized," lacking both the will and capability to defend themselves without American support. As Kaufman puts it, "I just don't see Jens from West Berlin trying to stab somebody in a trench in East Ukraine."For anyone seeking to understand why this conflict defies simple diplomatic solutions, this conversation provides profound insights into why, for Ukrainians, this truly is a fight for "existence or annihilation."

V pondělí představilo své lídry do sněmovních voleb hnutí Stačilo. Základ tvoří Komunistická strana a řada zájmů v pozadí. Je jasné, že Stačilo bylo primárně budováno jako záchranný kruh pro tonoucí KSČM. Zároveň se hnutí profiluje jako B tým Andreje Babiše, ochotný s ním kdykoli vstoupit do vládní koalice. Mezi hlavní sponzory patří zemědělští agrobaroni, kteří v minulých volbách stáli za Tomiem Okamurou. Vlivnou skupinou je také uhelná lobby, za jejíž zájmy se europoslankyně Konečná celá léta staví. Spojujícím znakem je ovšem strategická orientace na Rusko a jeho podpora invaze na Ukrajinu. Je to paradox, protože Česká komunistická strana se neorientuje na podobné strany západní Evropy nebo ruské komunisty, ale na Putinovu garnituru, která v Rusku zavedla autoritativní oligarchický systém pod dohledem tajné služby FSB. KSČM v tomto kontextu není ani komunistická ve smyslu zavádění socialismu, ani česká a moravská, protože hájí ruské zájmy. Velkou otázkou také bude, jak dopadne volební souboj v Moravskoslezském kraji, kde proti sobě půjdou Andrej Babiš, Tomio Okamura a Kateřina Konečná. Tři kapři v jednom rybníku, kdo půjde z kola ven?

Edition No119 | 29-03-2025 - A limo from 'Putin's car fleet' has blown up in a huge blast in central Moscow – which will undoubtedly fuel the already intense paranoia of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. This comes just a day after pictures emerged of his honour guard being searched for bombs.Signs are intensifying of Putin's paranoia about losing his life to assassination, as sewers in Moscow are set to be routinely searched and his own guards are patted down. One story doing the rounds apparently from an ex-bodyguard suggest the despot uses his personal protection to operate his washing machine due to assassination fears.The Aurus limousine from Putin's "official car fleet" was destroyed in a huge blast on a street just north of Moscow's FSB secret service headquarters in Lubyanka. Footage showed the fire started in the engine of the £275,000 Aurus Senat subsequently spread to the interior of the vehicle. Workers from nearby restaurants and bars poured onto Sretenka Street before fire services arrived. In photos black smoke can be seen billowing out of the destroyed vehicle as the fire rages. Footage taken from another angle suggested the car's rear was also damaged.It's not known who was using the car at the time, or even if there was anyone inside. The vehicle is believed to be owned by Putin's Presidential Property Management Department. And of course, there has been no explanation about what caused the sudden blaze. ----------LINKS:https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34134385/putin-limo-exploded-fire-paranoid/https://euroweeklynews.com/2025/03/29/putins-limousine-ablaze-after-mysterious-explosion-in-moscow/https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/limo-from-putin-s-car-fleet-explodes-as-paranoia-increases-over-assassination-attempts/ar-AA1BTggThttps://metro.co.uk/2025/03/26/putin-paranoid-assassination-people-searching-sewers-22799118/----------Easter Pysanky: Silicon Curtain - https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtainCar for Ukraine has joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this special Easter season.

Pełnej wersji podcastu posłuchasz w aplikacji Onet Audio. [AUTOPROMOCJA] W najnowszym odcinku podcastu Raport Międzynarodowy prowadzący Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz bardzo często i bardzo głęboko się dziwią. Na początku dziwią się, że jako dziennikarze, rozmawiając o plotkach, stosują dalej idące zabezpieczenia niż rozmawiający o atakach bombowych na Jemen przywódcy Stanów Zjednoczonych. To, że polscy politycy beztrosko gaworzą sobie za pomocą różnego rodzaju komunikatorów ani Jurasza ani Parafianowicza już – dodajmy – dawno dziwić przestało, choć obdywaj ośmielają się zauważyć, że Polska pewnie coś czasem powinna ukrywać nie tylko przed rosyjskim FSB i GRU, czy też białoruskim KGB, ale też przed CIA. Ale że nic do ukrycia nie ma na przykład szef CIA to już autorów podcastów jednak trochę zdziwiło. Odnosząc się bezpośrednio do kwestii bombardowania Jemenu i antyeuropejskiej obsesji wiceprezydenta J.D. Vance'a, Witold Jurasz zauważa, że Stany Zjednoczone zaatakowały Huti w Jemenie przede wszystkim z powodu ataków Huti na Izrael, a nie ze względu na swobodę żeglugi. Z tą opinią nie do końca zgadza się Zbigniew Parafianowicz (czyli prawoskrzydłowy w podcaście Raport Międzynarodowy), który zauważa, że w istocie Europa w sprawie swobody żeglugi, od której zależy gospodarczo, robi niewiele, i w tym sensie Amerykanie, krytykując Unię Europejską czy szerzej – Europę, mają rację. O ile w tej sprawie prowadzący podcast się ze sobą nie do końca ze sobą zgadzają, to łączy ich kolejne zdziwienie. Jurasz i Parafianowicz nadziwić się nie mogą widząc jak siły głównego nurtu mają niezmiennie dwie lewe ręce i jak dla odmiany umiejąca ów brak sprawczości mainstreamu zauważyć prawica, ma dla odmiany dla odmiany tendencję do „odjazdu”. Tego wątku prowadzący z troski o kondycję emocjonalną słuchaczy podcastu nie kontynuują. Zbigniew Parafianowicz i Witold Jurasz dziwią się też wielce komentując wypowiedzi specjalnego wysłannika Donalda Trumpa, Steve'a Witkoffa, który, udzielając wywiadu Tuckerowi Carlsonowi, wzruszał się modlitwą Władimira Putina. Putin miał po nieudanym zamachu na Donalda Trumpa udać się do – jak się wyraził Witkoff – lokalnego kościoła, by pomodlić się w intencji Trumpa. Wypowiedź ta, jak zauważają obydwaj prowadzący, świadczy o tym, że Witkoff nie ma zielonego pojęcia o rosyjskich realiach, ani też najwyraźniej nie zdaje sobie sprawy z tego, że Putin w cerkwi się nie modli, a jedynie porusza ustami. Witkoff, gdyby wiedział cokolwiek, pewnie wiedziałby, że Putin udaje jedynie człowieka wierzącego. Ale nie wie, podobnie jak niewiele wie o Rosji jego szef. W wywiadzie Witkoffa dla Carlsona bardziej niepokojące od treści, które Jurasz i Parafianowicz kwitują zdziwieniem, są wypowiedzi amerykańskiego rozmówcy Władimira Putina na temat państwa ukraińskiego. Witkoff wprost już bowiem cytuje rosyjską propagandę. Prowadzących podcast to – wyjaśnijmy – jednak już nie dziwi, bo rządzący Stanami Zjednoczonymi do tego zdołali już i Jurasza i Parafianowicza przyzwyczaić. Jak zauważają obydwaj prowadzący, kopią rosyjskiej propagandy są niestety również słowa wiceprezydenta Stanów Zjednoczonych na temat Grenlandii. Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz po raz kolejny ze smutkiem konstatują, że obecna administracja amerykańska mentalnie niewiele różni się od przywódców na Kremlu. W dalszej części podcastu Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz odnotowują wywiad Siergieja Ławrowa, w którym szef rosyjskiej dyplomacji mówił o rozmowach rosyjsko-amerykańskich na temat wznowienia dostaw rosyjskiego gazu do Europy. W tym punkcie Zbigniew Parafianowicz zauważa, że dostawami tymi zainteresowane są nie tylko, jak zazwyczaj się w Polsce sądzi, Niemcy, ale również twardo antyrosyjskie Czechy. Na tę ostatnią uwagę odpowiada Witold Jurasz, stwierdzając, że istotą dyplomacji jest to, że czasami wykonuje się ruchy w przeciwnych kierunkach. W dalszej części podcastu mowa jest o skazaniu ukraińskich jeńców przez rosyjski „sąd” na kary więzienia za terroryzm. Przy tej okazji prowadzący zastanawiają się, jak daleko powinien posunąć się Zachód w relacjach z Rosją i czy powinniśmy np. zacząć brać zakładników, podrzucać nieistniejące dowody i skazywać niewinnych ludzi – lub też w każdym razie pokazać, że jesteśmy do tego zdolni. Obydwaj prowadzący stwierdzają jednoznacznie, że takie działanie byłoby amoralne, ale z drugiej strony zastanawiają się, czy istnieje jakaś inna metoda, która pozwoli Europie się bronić. Po tej części podcastu uważni słuchacze mogą odnotować cięcia i trzaski. Są one skutkiem tego, że Jurasz i Parafianowicz, gdy usłyszeli co sami rozważali, postanowili udać się do lokalnego kościoła i się wyspowiadać. I jest to taka sama prawda, jak to, że Putin się modlił w intencji Trumpa. Prawdy zaś, jak uczył ksiądz profesor Józef Tischner, są trzy: „świnta prawda, tys prawda i g… prawda”. W podcaście mowa jest też o sytuacji politycznej w Turcji, w której prezydent Recep Tayyip Erdoğan postanowił skierować lidera opozycji do lokalnego więzienia. Jak zauważa Zbigniew Parafianowicz, stało się tak w wyniku przeświadczeniu prezydenta Turcji, że amerykańska administracja nie jest już zainteresowana tym, czy Turcja pozostanie bardzo specyficzną, ale jednak demokracją, czy też osunie się już całkowicie w kierunku dyktatury. Prowadzący przypominają również historię przedwojennej syjonistycznej organizacji Bejtar, założonej co prawda w Rydze, ale działającej w Polsce. Zastanawiają się, czy współczesny amerykański Bejtar ma cokolwiek wspólnego z organizacją Żabotyńskiego. Na końcu podcastu Witold Jurasz zapowiada publikację w Onecie na temat polityki zagranicznej Jana Pawła II, stwierdzając, że tak zwana Ostpolitik Stolicy Apostolskiej, wbrew temu, co twierdzą liczni polscy komentatorzy, była kontynuowana także w czasach pontyfikatu papieża Polaka.
Black Russian Terrier: "The Black Pearl of Russia" [caption id="attachment_13770" align="alignright" width="354"] Emily Fagan showing one of her Black Russian Terriers.[/caption] Host Laura Reeves is joined by Emily Fagan, breeder of Black Russian Terriers, for a Love the Breeds episode talking about the “big black fluffy bearded beasts” that have become her “spirit animal.” “Like they are the Black Pearl of Russia and they really are like the hidden gem. Most people, they see them and they're like, ohh, boy, that's kind of this big black scary kind of looking dog. And they're so stoic and regal in public and then they come home and they're absolute goofballs, complete clowns,” Fagan said. “A short background history that Stalin basically was jealous of the Germans, you know, and their wonderful police military dogs. So he's like, you know what, I'm gonna make a superior breed of dog for military and police work. He got a bunch of scientists, geneticists together and actually started developing the Black Russian Terrier. The four main contributors are the Rottweiler, the giant Schnauzer, the Newfoundland and the Airedale Terrier. So there's the terrier. But they are very much NOT a terrier.” [caption id="attachment_13768" align="alignleft" width="389"] Black Russian Terrier training for "bite work" competition.[/caption] The breed was utilized by the KGB, and still is today by its successor agency, the FSB, as well as being used in the Russian prison system. It's job, Fagan said, was to terrify people. And they're very good at their job. The best owners of BRTs are not first-time dog owners, Fagan said. She added that structure and very defined rules are critical. “You do need to be fair because they are very smart,” Fagan noted. “This is not an old school, put the dog on its back. You can't do that. Absolutely not. You would ruin your relationship with this breed because it's built on trust too. You have to build respect. So a person who understands a structured environment is really going to thrive.”

In the aftermath of the virtual destruction of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), millions will starve and millions will die around the world. In this very special episode of the Jim Wallis Podcast, we provide a window into the magnitude of the torment being inflicted upon those Jesus called “the least of these.” You can read Jim's Commentary on this subject hereRev. Jim Wallis speaks with an eyewitness to the desperation, devastation, and imminent death that is resulting from the Trump Administration's vicious assault on people providing life-saving humanitarian aid around the world. Rev. Tim Costello, a global expert on international humanitarian aid, is the former Chief Executive of World Vision Australia (WVA) and the current Executive Director of Micah Australia. He was in Kenya and Uganda when the Trump Administration inaugurated the irresponsible and unconscionable freeze on USAID funds. “Kenyan women, clinicians, doctors [were] in tears saying, ‘the medications, the U-S-A-I-D medications have dried up. This means we cannot treat the people who we've treated for so many years, poor Kenyan people without a chance without these medications.'”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this very special guest episode from Social Justice Warrior icon Rev. Jim Wallis, we examine one of Donald Trump's biggest legal battles regarding his alleged unconstitiutional efforts invading houses of worship. A historic lawsuit has been filed by the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection, in partnership with the Center on Faith and Justice, on the behalf of a broad coalition of 27 national church and organization plaintiffs, whose combined membership numbers in the millions, to defend the teachings of Jesus and the traditions of all Abrahamic religions. {Subscribe to weekly Jim's Substack column here to stay up to date with our progress.}Rev. Jim Wallis speaks with two important leaders involved in the case of Mennonite Church USA VS The Department of Homeland Security: Kelsey Brown Corkoran, the Supreme Court Director at the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at Georgetown Law, and Reverend Carlos Malave, the president of the Latino Christian National Network (LCNN), which is a broad Christian Latino network in our country, including Pentecostals, evangelicals, Catholics, and mainline leaders.On the first day of his second term as President of the United States, according to Fox News, Donald Trump ordered the Department of Homeland Security to upend a decades long practice honoring sacred spaces and “sensitive locations” to allow religious leaders and congregants to obey the commandment of Jesus from Matthew 25: “As ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” Jesus' words include “the stranger” which means immigrant and refugee in Greek.Immigrants and refugees, who rely on these sacred spaces for sustenance for their souls and bodies, are being deterred by the aggressive and unorthodox tactics from the Trump Administration that the lawsuit alleges are a violation of the First Amendment right to freely practice religion.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
David Satter is a journalist and historian with unique insights into how the deformation and repression of the past, is having terrible consequences for present day Russia. David has written extensively about Russia and the Soviet Union, especially the decline and fall of the USSR and rise of post-Soviet Russia. David Satter became the first American journalist to be expelled from Russia since the Cold War in December 2013. This was perhaps not a surprising move, given that his books have covered topics such as the FSB's role in the apartment bombings that brought Putin to power. From 1976 to 1982 David was the Moscow correspondent of the Financial Times, and then became a special correspondent on Soviet affairs for The Wall Street Journal. He is currently a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and a fellow of the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. ----------BOOKS:He is author of several books that are essential reading to help understand the origins of the current crisis, including the brilliantly named books: - It Was a Long Time Ago, and It Never Happened Anyway- Darkness at Dawn: The Rise of the Russian Criminal State- The Less You Know, The Better You Sleep----------LINKS:https://davidsatter.com/https://twitter.com/davidsatter?lang=enhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Satterhttps://www.hudson.org/experts/362-david-satterhttps://www.fpri.org/contributor/david-satter/https://www.foreignaffairs.com/authors/david-satter----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

About the Book ***This lecture is sponsored by the IWP IAFIE Alpha Student Chapter*** Since its founding in 1995, the FSB, Russia's Federal Security Service, has regained most the domestic security functions of the Soviet-era KGB. Under Vladimir Putin, who served as FSB director just before becoming president, the agency has grown to be one of the most powerful and favored organizations in Russia. The FSB not only conducts internal security but also has primacy in intelligence operations in former Soviet states. Their activities include anti-dissident operations at home and abroad, counterintelligence, counterterrorism, criminal investigations of crimes against the state, and guarding Russia's borders. In The Russian FSB, Kevin P. Riehle provides a brief history of the FSB's origins, placed within the context of Russian history, the government's power structure, and Russia's wider culture. He describes how the FSB's mindset and priorities show continuities from the tsarist regimes and the Soviet era. The book's chapters analyze origins, organizational structure, missions, leaders, international partners, and cultural representations such as the FSB in film and television. Here is a link to an earlier book Dr. Riehle wrote for NIU available for free download: Russian Intelligence: A Case-based Study of Russian Services and Missions Past and Present About the Author Dr. Kevin Riehle retired in 2021 from a 30+ year career in the U.S. national security community, with tours in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Counterintelligence Center, U.S. European Command Joint Analysis Center, DoD Counterintelligence Field Activity, Defense Intelligence Agency, and the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. He also retired in 2014 as a U.S. Navy Reserve intelligence officer with the rank of commander. During his career, Riehle focused on analyzing foreign intelligence services and supporting counterintelligence activities to neutralize the threats they pose. He finished his career as an associate professor of strategic intelligence at the National Intelligence University, teaching courses and chairing over 40 master's theses on intelligence, counterintelligence, and Eurasia-related topics. He also served as the department head for the Collection, Analysis and Counterintelligence Department.
Edition No88 | 02-02-2025 - Strelkov is back with more pronouncements. It has been many months since the untimely reports of his demise spread around the Z-blogosphere. Of course we are not concerned about his health, or even his welfare. He is a war criminal and bears even more responsibilities for this horrific war than most Russians. His views on the state of the Russian army may hold some interest, however, as he has been known to occasionally give critical assessments of the competence and performance of the Russian army, some of which have been far closer to reality than the manipulative discourse of Russian propagandist and Z-patriots. ---------- We ran two events in Ukraine in the last two weeks. Lviv (part 2) and Kyiv. The event we ran in August 2023 was a huge success, and had a great impact. Now our aim is even more ambitious. Two cities. Two events. Multiple panels consisting of the best experts, and all filmed in high definition for the channel. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras But it costs. Last time the overall cost was £3,500 for Live in Lviv, and we covered 80% of this through ticket sales. This time the costs are higher, and there's less opportunity to sell tickets at the available venues and studios, so I'm creating a campaign to raise £5,000 to make this trip a reality. We also have a much more ambitious programme to film interviews around Kyiv and Lviv for the channel. This project will have an impact, so please help if you can. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- He's in prison yes, but it's the wrong prison, and he's not incarcerated for his crimes against Ukraine and humanity, but for disloyalty to the regime that approves of those war crimes. He was an FSB officer who went to Donbas with a gang of thugs, supported by resources from oligarch Konstantin Malofeev, and started provocations and murders there. He blazed a trail for the Russian army to intervene, and for today's full-scale invasion. But during the full-scale war Strelkov assessment of the actions of the Russian army was nearly uniformly negative. These statements are not because he disapproves of the invasion, but because he fears it is neither being conducted efficiently, or ruthlessly enough. “But in the long term, I emphasize, if we continue to fight, or rather, continue to operate as we are now, we will not hold anything, even the Kremlin will not hold it over time.” ---------- SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- NEWS SOURCES: This episode is adapted from a report that appeared on Michael Naki's YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRDDItFxoQc&t=5s ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Episode 2: "Dead Drop" Meeting Viktor Petrov at St. Petersburg's Hermitage Museum, Zara learns The Kill Spot began as a CIA project to control compromised agents. When an FSB raid interrupts their meeting, she's rescued by Sarah Chen, a former Chinese intelligence operative with connections to her supposedly dead mentor. Zara discovers Novak is alive in Hong Kong and may have scattered clues across Asia. The Kill Spot is revealed to be more than a network – it's an evolving system created by a mysterious figure named Konstantin, and it's spinning beyond anyone's control.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Ben and guest host Alyona Minkovski discuss how Harris's pick of Tim Walz as a running mate represents a new generation of US foreign policy, the anticipation of an attack from Iran and Hezbollah in retaliation for the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, and a historic prisoner exchange between the US and Russia that included journalists, dissidents, and an FSB assassin. Then they talk about the resignation of Bangladesh's Prime Minister, the Venezuelan opposition's proof of victory, the role of AI and disinformation in the far-right riots in the UK, and favorite moments from the Paris Olympics. Then, Ben speaks to Jake Sullivan, National Security Advisor to President Biden, about how the prisoner exchange came together and what it could mean for the prospect of negotiations on the war in Ukraine and the effort to reach a ceasefire in Gaza.
