Batılı bilim insanları doğaya bakarak keşif yapmadılar; Müslümanların kitaplarına baktılar ve bir kısmını kendi adlarına kaydettiler. Newton bunun en çarpıcı örneğidir. Oxford'ta bulunan eski bir Arapça eserin kenarlarında el yazısıyla yapılmış İngilizce tercüme notları görülür. Avrupa Rönesansı'nın, Arapların Altın Çağı'ndaki başarıların alınmasıyla başladığını söylemek, o dönemde Arapça kitapların Avrupa şehirlerinde basılıp okutulmasını ve Arapçanın ilmin dili oluşunu düşününce şaşırtıcı değildir. Fakat bu kitaplar sadece kaynak olarak kalmadı; bazı Avrupalı bilginler, Arap âlimlerinin keşiflerini alıp, doğayı ayrıca incelemeden kendi adlarıyla yayımladılar. Küçük kan dolaşımının William Harvey'e nispeti buna bir misaldir; anlatılanların İbnü'n-Nefis'in “Şerhu Teşrîhi'lKânûn”undaki açıklamalara dayandığı ortaya konmuştur. Newton'un hareketin üç kanununa dair intihal iddiaları da böyledir. 1. yasa, İbn Sînâ'nın “İşârât ve Tenbîhât”ında ifadesini bulan “cisim dış etkiden arınınca hâlini korur” düşüncesiyle paraleldir. 2. ve 3. yasalar ise Fahreddin er-Râzî'nin “el-Mebâhisü'l-Meşrıkıyye”sinde kuvvet-ivme ilişkisi ve karşı kuvvet dengesi üzerinden tartışılmıştır: eşit güçle çekilen halkanın ortada kalması gibi. René Descartes'in, İmam Gazâlî'nin eserlerini andıran uzun dipnotlar kullanması da zikredilir. Tarih yeniden okunmalı; hak, gerçek sahiplerine teslim edilmelidir. Bu tablo, “bilimsel devrim”i tek başına Batı'nın müktesebatı gibi sunan anlatının eksik kaldığını açıkça göstermektedir. Arapların medeniyet mirası gizlenemez; aktarım zincirleri dürüstçe kayda geçirilmelidir. İlmî emanetin sahiplerine iadesi, yeni bir karşılıklı saygı köprüsü kuracaktır. İddialar tartışılabilir; fakat izler, metinler ve nüshalar açıktır, gözler önündedir aslında. (Basından Derleme)

It's been a busy week for Manchester City. It all started with a comprehensive 4-1 win at Crystal Palace, with impressive performances from a number of players. David Mooney is joined by City fans Bob Toole and Gaz to discuss what happened at Selhurst Park, with a keen eye on Rayan Cherki, Erling Haaland and Phil Foden. Ahead of that game, it was felt that the squad was far from finished.

We take a look at one of City's busiest transfer windows. Alex Howell and Katie Wrench from the Citizens Trust speak to the show about what the new supporters' union has achieved in its first few months, while author and Porto fan Miguel Lourenço Pereira explains what City can expect in their first Champions League game.

James Norwood joins Gaz and G Stop to chat about his career, from having trials once at Crystal Palace and missing a lads' holiday to Zante, right through to becoming a goalscoring phenomenon at Tranmere Rovers, playing for and being suspended by Ipswich Town, Joey Barton turning him down at Bristol Rovers, sneaking in an extra year at Barnsley, and regretting ever turning up at Oldham Athletic. Norwood doesn't hold back either. He talks about dealing with internet trolls, finding his next club, the managers he's worked under, some of the crazy moments from his career and the realities of life as a professional footballer travlling up and down the country chasing contracts. There's the story of missing a holiday to sign for Exeter City, some brilliant tales from Forest Green Rovers and why he now hates the club, choosing National League Tranmere Rovers over then-Championship side Burton Albion, scoring in a play-off final, and knocking Forest Green out of the League Two play-offs. We also get into his time at Ipswich Town, playing with his back to goal, injuries, being suspended and the problems that eventually saw him leave. And then there's Oldham... Norwood opens up about joining Oldham Athletic, wanting to leave after just one game, the fallout behind the scenes and why he ultimately regrets making the move. Plus, there's boozing before Leeds, questionable social media posts, mouldy showers and some brutally honest opinions on managers.

Les prix du gaz continuent de grimper et sont désormais à leur niveau le plus élevé depuis le début de la crise du détroit d'Ormuz, axe stratégique par lequel transitait 20% des exportations mondiales de gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) avant le début du conflit au Moyen-Orient. Les prix de référence en Europe – le TTF néerlandais – sont deux fois plus élevés que l'année dernière. Les prix du gaz ont connu une augmentation de 35% depuis début août et se situent à plus de 70 €/MWh, comme le pointe l'analyste Gaz de l'Agence internationale de l'Énergie Greg Molnar. Il y a, comme souvent, plusieurs raisons à cette hausse. La première est la tension autour du détroit d'Ormuz, zone encore plus stratégique pour le gaz que pour le pétrole. L'offre mondiale de GNL a chuté de plus de 6% sur un an en raison du blocage des flux de gaz naturel liquéfié du Qatar et des Émirats arabes unis. Preuve de ces difficultés, Qatar Energy a informé, selon Reuters, plusieurs de ses acheteurs en Asie et en Italie qu'il prolongeait la force majeure plusieurs semaines, ce qui veut dire qu'indépendamment de sa volonté, l'entreprise ne pourra pas honorer ses contrats en temps et en heure. Résultat : les flux de gaz du Moyen-Orient vers l'Europe sont à leur plus bas depuis 2019, pointe le cabinet de conseil en énergie Omnegy. Stockage européen à la peine Ces prix européens qui grimpent reflètent aussi le manque de stock en Europe. Les stocks physiques sont remplis à un peu plus de 65% au niveau européen ; c'est moins que l'année dernière à la même époque et moins que la moyenne de ces cinq dernières années. L'association allemande des entreprises de transport de gaz (FNB Gas) a d'ailleurs estimé courant août que l'objectif légal d'avoir des stocks remplis à plus de 70% au 1er novembre 2026 était pratiquement impossible à atteindre. L'Allemagne n'est aujourd'hui qu'à 53% de stockage. Les stocks ont aussi pâti de la canicule. La chaleur et la sècheresse ont entraîné des arrêts de la production nucléaire et hydroélectrique, ce qui a profité à l'électricité produite au gaz : en juillet et août, les européens ont consommé 15% de gaz en plus que les années précédentes. Pour compliquer la situation, les Européens doivent aussi faire face à une baisse de la production de Norvège : un des principaux champs du pays tournera au ralenti jusqu'en février 2027, pour des raisons techniques. Concurrence grandissante à l'approche de l'hiver Cette hausse actuelle des prix européens est appelée à continuer, à l'approche de la période de chauffage. Une bonne nouvelle pour les Européens cependant : l'écart de prix entre l'Europe (TTF) et l'Asie (JKM) s'est resserré. Cela devient moins avantageux pour un trader de vendre aux acheteurs asiatiques. Au mois d'août, six cargaisons de GNL ont été redirigées vers l'Europe, selon le cabinet Omnegy. Plus on approche de l'hiver, plus la demande devrait cependant augmenter. Les experts en énergie s'accordent à dire que la concurrence pour les cargaisons de GNL qui n'ont pas été pré-vendues et qui sont encore disponibles sur le marché devrait s'intensifier dans les prochaines semaines. Hassan Yatim, analyste prix pour Capitole Énergie-Groupe EPSA, résume : « L'Europe entre dans l'automne avec trois vulnérabilités qui se cumulent : un retard de remplissage important, une prime de risque géopolitique déjà intégrée dans les prix et une dépendance au GNL qui pourrait être remise sous pression par le retour des acheteurs asiatiques. »

It's time to head back to the synth-soaked sounds of the 1980s as Dangerous Dave celebrates one of Britain's greatest and most enduring pop duos...PET SHOP BOYS!This week on The Insanely Dangerous Retropodshow, Dave takes a huge deep dive into the career of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, exploring how a chance meeting in a London electronics shop eventually led to one of the most successful partnerships in British pop history.From "West End Girls" to "It's a Sin," "Always on My Mind," "Heart," "Being Boring" and "Go West," we're celebrating the songs, albums and unmistakable electronic sound that made Pet Shop Boys legends.WHAT HAPPENED WAY BACK WHEN? – 1986First, we're travelling back to 1986, the year Pet Shop Boys released their debut album Please.Dave revisits five songs, five movies and five television shows from an incredible year of entertainment, including Top Gun, Aliens, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Real Ghostbusters and some of the biggest records of the year.Then Retro Headlines turns back the clock to remember some of the major stories making news in Britain and America.DANGEROUS DEEP DIVE – THE HISTORY OF PET SHOP BOYSHow did Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe become Pet Shop Boys?Dave goes right back to the beginning, exploring Neil's career in publishing and at Smash Hits, Chris's background and their chance meeting in London in 1981.We follow their early demos, their work with Bobby Orlando and the original version of "West End Girls", before the re-recorded song transformed them into international stars.Dave also looks at the brilliantly understated Pet Shop Boys image: Neil delivering intelligent and observational lyrics while Chris stands almost motionless behind the keyboards.No rock-star posing required.THE ALBUMSThen it's time to raid the Pet Shop Boys record collection.Dave discusses and rates the albums that defined their first two decades, including:Please – ⭐⭐⭐⭐½The debut that established the classic Pet Shop Boys sound.Actually – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Dave's number-one Pet Shop Boys album, featuring an incredible collection of songs including "It's a Sin," "Rent" and "What Have I Done to Deserve This?"Introspective – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Six enormous tracks blending electronic pop with extended club arrangements.Behaviour – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A more reflective and emotional record featuring the magnificent "Being Boring."Very – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Colourful, confident and packed with some of the duo's greatest 90s material.Plus, Dave revisits Bilingual and Nightlife as Pet Shop Boys continued evolving through the later 1990s.THE GREATEST HITS – RATED!Then comes the big one.Dave works through some of the greatest songs in the Pet Shop Boys catalogue and gives them the Danger Rating treatment.We revisit:West End Girls ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Opportunities ⭐⭐⭐⭐½Love Comes Quickly ⭐⭐⭐⭐½Suburbia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐It's a Sin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐What Have I Done to Deserve This? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Rent ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Always on My Mind ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Heart ⭐⭐⭐⭐½Domino Dancing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Left to My Own Devices ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐So Hard ⭐⭐⭐⭐½Being Boring ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Can You Forgive Her? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Go West ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐And plenty more.But only one can be Dangerous Dave's favourite...And "Being Boring" takes the number-one position, narrowly beating "West End Girls" and "It's a Sin."DANGEROUS DETOUR – THE SYNTH-POP REVOLUTIONDave takes a detour into the electronic revolution that transformed the 1980s.From synthesizers and drum machines to sequencers and changing recording technology, we explore how electronic music went from experimental to mainstream and produced artists including The Human League, Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Eurythmics, Erasure and Pet Shop Boys.BACK IN THE ADSWe also rewind British television for another edition of Back in the Ads, remembering the telephone advertising campaigns that sold us something surprisingly simple...The joy of actually talking to somebody!A reminder of a world before WhatsApp, social media and endless notifications.RETRO RUMBLE – PET SHOP BOYS VS ERASURETwo synth-pop giants enter the ring.Only one leaves victorious.Pet Shop Boys vs Erasure!Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe take on Andy Bell and Vince Clarke across greatest hits, vocals, lyrics, albums and dancefloor anthems.Erasure put up one hell of a fight...But Pet Shop Boys eventually take the Retro Rumble crown 3–2.DANGEROUSLY UNDERRATEDDave also shines a spotlight on "King's Cross", the brilliant Actually album track that proves some of the finest Pet Shop Boys songs never needed to become massive singles.GAZ'S RETRO RECORDS – SYNTH-POP SPECIALThen Gaz opens his record collection for a special edition of Gaz's Retro Records.This week he's celebrating four acts that helped make electronic music such an important part of the 1980s.OMDGaz celebrates the brilliant Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, from the atmospheric "Enola Gay" and "Souvenir" to "Maid of Orleans" and their later pop success.For Gaz, OMD proved that electronic music could be experimental, emotional and incredibly catchy at the same time.SOFT CELLNext comes Soft Cell.Marc Almond and Dave Ball created a much darker version of synth-pop, mixing electronic music with the atmosphere of nightclubs and the seedier side of city life.And, of course, there's the enormous "Tainted Love" – one of the defining electronic records of the entire decade.NEW ORDERGaz then turns to New Order, the band that emerged from the end of Joy Division and helped blur the lines between alternative rock and electronic dance music.From "Blue Monday" and "Bizarre Love Triangle" to "True Faith," their influence can still be heard across electronic and dance music today.ERASUREFinally, Gaz celebrates Erasure.Vince Clarke's electronic brilliance combined with Andy Bell's incredible voice produced classics including "Sometimes," "A Little Respect," "Stop!," "Blue Savannah" and "Love to Hate You."They might have lost today's Retro Rumble...But Gaz argues that no discussion about great British synth-pop would be complete without them.Four artists.Four very different approaches to electronic pop.And four essential additions to your retro record collection.THE DANGER ZONEFinally, Dave asks the biggest question of the episode...Are Pet Shop Boys the greatest British pop duo of all time?When you consider the songs...The albums...The lyrics...The production...The innovation...And more than four decades of longevity...Dave's answer is...YES!Pet Shop Boys receive a massive 58 out of 60 Danger Rating.HALL OF DANGERAnd there could only be one way to finish.Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe officially enter the...

Then Retro Headlines looks back at some of the major stories making news in Britain and America during an unforgettable year.DANGEROUS DEEP DIVE – THE HISTORY OF GOBOTSDave takes an extended look at the origins of GoBots, beginning with Bandai's Japanese Machine Robo toys before Tonka transformed them into the GoBots brand.We remember the heroic Guardians, led by Leader-1, and the evil Renegades, commanded by the brilliantly named Cy-Kill.There are memories of Turbo, Scooter, Small Foot, Crasher and Cop-Tur as Dave explores why the smaller and often cheaper GoBots became such popular pocket-money toys.We also revisit Challenge of the GoBots, the Hanna-Barbera cartoon that attempted to build a universe around the characters, and examine what happened when Transformers arrived and completely changed the transforming-robot battle.Was Transformers genuinely better...Or did superior characters, storytelling and marketing simply leave GoBots behind?DANGEROUS DETOUR – THE GOLDEN AGE OF 80s TOYSWhy were the 1980s so ridiculously good for toys?Dave remembers an era dominated by He-Man, Transformers, MASK, Thundercats, G.I. Joe, Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Visionaries, Bravestarr and, of course, GoBots.It was a time when the cartoon, comic and toy aisle all became part of one enormous childhood universe.BACK IN THE ADSWe're heading back to British television for another classic commercial as Dave remembers the wonderfully bizarre Smash Martians.Why were aliens laughing at humans for peeling potatoes?How did “For Mash Get Smash” become such a memorable slogan?And why do so many people still remember those little metal Martians decades later?RETRO RUMBLE – GOBOTS VS TRANSFORMERSIt's the battle we've been waiting for.GoBots vs Transformers!The two transforming robot giants go head-to-head across toys, characters, cartoons, value for money and pure nostalgia.GoBots put up a surprisingly strong fight...But can Leader-1 and Cy-Kill really defeat Optimus Prime and Megatron?DANGEROUSLY UNDERRATEDDave gives Challenge of the GoBots another chance and argues that the cartoon deserves to be remembered as more than simply “that other transforming robot show.”ONE SEASON WONDERWe also revisit the wonderfully 80s animated series Pole Position, with its high-tech vehicles, crime-solving adventures and connections to the classic arcade game.TOYBOX TIME MACHINEThe Toybox Time Machine opens once again as Dave remembers Voltron and the brilliant idea of taking five robotic lions and combining them into one enormous warrior.And then...It's time for Gaz.GAZ'S RAPID RETRO REVIEW – GOBOTSGaz has heard Dave defending GoBots for most of the episode...And he's having absolutely none of it.GAZ:"GoBots? Sorry, Dange... I didn't like them then and I don't like them now!They were the transforming robots you got when you really wanted Transformers.Leader-1? He's no Optimus Prime.Cy-Kill? He's basically an angry motorbike.And Scooter? Don't even get me started on Scooter.Transformers had Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave and Grimlock. GoBots had... well... GoBots.Were the toys cheap? Yes.Were they easy to transform? Yes.But that's because there wasn't much bloody transforming to do!I know you've spent this episode trying to convince everyone that GoBots deserve another chance, Dange, but I'm not buying it.For me... Transformers win every single time.Gaz's Rapid Retro Rating: ⭐⭐ – 2 out of 5"Two stars. And I'm probably being generous. Back to you, Dange!"THE DANGER ZONEAfter Gaz completely destroys them, Dave enters The Danger Zone to mount one final defence of GoBots.They may never have matched Transformers for characters, storytelling or longevity, but Dave argues that history has treated them unfairly.They were affordable.They were fun.They were easy to collect.And for plenty of kids, a GoBot was their first transforming robot.Dave awards the franchise an impressive 27 out of 30 Danger Rating...Even if Gaz would probably like to deduct about twenty points from that score!HALL OF DANGERFinally, despite Gaz's objections, GoBots enter the Hall of Danger for their contribution to the transforming robot craze and their place in 1980s toy history.Love them...Hate them...Or still wish your parents had bought you a Transformer instead...GoBots are part of the story of the 1980s.And that's why they're worth remembering.NEXT TIME...Season 9 continues as Dangerous Dave swaps transforming robots for synthesisers and heads into the incredible catalogue of...PET SHOP BOYSFrom West End Girls and It's a Sin to Always on My Mind, Heart, Being Boring and Go West, we'll explore the history, albums, greatest hits and legacy of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe.The Insanely Dangerous Retropodshow – keeping the greatest decades alive, one dangerously nostalgic episode at a time.

Hold on tight as The Insanely Dangerous Retropodshow races back to 1994 to celebrate one of the greatest action films ever made...Speed.Dangerous Dave takes a full-throttle deep dive into the blockbuster that turned Keanu Reeves into a Hollywood action hero, made Sandra Bullock an overnight superstar and gave Dennis Hopper one of the most memorable villain roles of his incredible career.The episode begins with What Happened Way Back When?, revisiting five classic songs, five unforgettable movies and five iconic television shows from 1994, before Retro Headlines looks back at the biggest stories from both the UK and the United States.In the Dangerous Deep Dive, Dave explores the origins of Speed, how the simple but brilliant "bus that can't slow below 50mph" concept came to life, the casting of Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock and Dennis Hopper, the incredible practical stunt work, the unforgettable motorway jump and why the film became one of the defining action movies of the 1990s.The action continues with a detailed scene-by-scene review, covering the elevator rescue, Jack Traven's leap onto the speeding bus, Annie taking the wheel, the famous motorway jump, the airport escape and the explosive subway finale, before Dave gives the film his final verdict.Season 9's Dangerous Detour explores why the late 1980s and 1990s became the golden age of practical action movies, while Back in the Ads revisits the unforgettable "You've Been Tango'd" advertising campaign and why it became one of Britain's most talked-about television commercials.In this week's Retro Rumble, two action classics collide as Speed goes head-to-head with Die Hard to decide which deserves the title of the ultimate action film.There's also another edition of Dangerously Underrated, shining a spotlight on Timecop, while One Season Wonder revisits Gerry Anderson's ambitious science-fiction series Space Precinct.The Toybox Time Machine opens once again to remember the brilliant Mighty Max toy line and animated series that captured children's imaginations during the mid-1990s.Instead of a rental recommendation this week, Gaz returns with Gaz's Rapid Retro Review, giving his quick-fire thoughts on Speed:"What more can you say? It's ninety minutes of pure adrenaline. Keanu Reeves is cool, Sandra Bullock is brilliant, Dennis Hopper is one of the best movie villains of the 90s, and once that bus gets moving it barely gives you a chance to catch your breath. If you haven't watched Speed for a while... stick it on this weekend. It still delivers. Five stars from me!"Finally, Dave heads into The Danger Zone to explain why Speed remains one of the finest action films ever made before welcoming it into the Hall of Danger.Plus, don't miss a preview of the next episode as Dangerous Dave transforms back to 1984 to explore the history, toys and cartoon series of GoBots.

Migrācijas krīze Spānijai piederošajā Seutas anklāvā Āfrikas ziemeļos. Masu protesti Pakistānas kontrolētajā Kašmiras daļā. Donalds Tramps paziņojis, ka panākta vienošanās par teroristu grupējuma "Hamās" pilnīgu atbruņošanos Gazas joslā. Izraēla bažīga par šādu paziņojumu. Aktualitātes analizē laikraksta "Diena" komentētājs Andis Sedlenieks un Latvijas Radio Ziņu dienesta vadītājs, Latvijas Ārpolitikas institūta pētnieks Uģis Lībietis. Pakistānas Kašmiras asiņainā vasara Drīz būs apritējuši divi mēneši, kopš Pakistānas kontrolēto Kašmiras daļu satricina masu protesti ar vardarbīgām sadursmēm starp protestētājiem un valdības spēkiem. Pašreizējo notikumu vēsturiskās saknes sniedzas 80 gadus senā pagātnē, kad beidza pastāvēt Britu Indijas koloniālie valdījumi, un to vietā radās divas neatkarīgas valstis – Indija un Pakistāna. To robežas noteica pirmām kārtām reliģiskā piederība, Indijā dominējot hinduismam, savukārt Pakistānā – islāmam. Autonomā Džammu un Kašmiras radžas valsts toreizējās Britu Indijas ziemeļos bija reliģiski jaukta teritorija, kuras valdītājs mēģināja izveidot neatkarīgu valsti. Šis projekts neguva vietējo iedzīvotāju atsaucību, sākās sacelšanās, notika Pakistānas un Indijas spēku intervence, un šīs karadarbības rezultātā Džammu un Kašmira izrādījās sadalīta starp Indiju un Pakistānu. ANO rezolūcija nosaka, ka būtu rīkojams referendums par teritorijas nākotni, taču līdz šim tāds nav sarīkots un diezin vai arī notiks. Pašreizējie nemieri aptver daļu no Pakistānas kontrolētās Kašmiras – tā dēvēto Brīvo Džammu un Kašmiru, autonomu teritoriju kādreizējās radžas valsts dienvidrietumos; faktiski – šauru robežjoslu starp Indijas kontrolēto daļu un Pakistānas pamatteritoriju. Jau praktiski kopš šīs administratīvās vienības izveides pagājušā gadsimta vidū teritorijas iedzīvotāji nav bijuši mierā ar to, kā šo tālo valsts nomali pārvalda centrālā vara Islamabadā. Pašreizējo domstarpību galvenais cēlonis ir autonomijas likumdevēju sapulces ievēlēšanas kārtība. Divpadsmit no 45 deputātu vietām tajā rezervētas deputātiem, kurus ievēl nevis vietējie iedzīvotāji, bet Džammu un Kašmiras bēgļi, kuri pametuši Indijas kontrolēto daļu un apmetušies dažādās Pakistānas vietās. 2023. gadā dibinātā sabiedriskā kustība Džammu-Kašmiras Apvienotā sabiedriskā rīcības komiteja pieprasa šo sistēmu likvidēt kā manipulatīvu un vēlētāju gribu kropļojošu. 5. jūnijā komiteja tika pasludināta par teroristisku organizāciju, kuru atbalsta Indija, un aizliegta. Vairāki tās līderi arestēti, par citu uzrādīšanu izsludināta paliela naudas prēmija. Pāris dienas vēlāk tiesa atzina bēgļu kvotu sistēmu par atbilstošu Pakistānas konstitūcijai un, attiecīgi, saglabājamu jūlijā paredzētajās vēlēšanās. Autonomijā sākās masu protesti, kas drīz vien pārauga sadursmēs ar policijas spēkiem, kuru rezultātā, kā lēš, šobrīd dzīvību zaudējuši vismaz četrdesmit cilvēki. Notiek streiki, tiek bloķētas transporta maģistrāles, kas ietekmē teritorijas ekonomisko un sociālo dzīvi. Vēlēšanas tika sadalītas trīs posmos, no kuriem divi – 27. jūlijā un 2. augustā – jau notikuši, trešais plānots 10. augustā. Sekojot sabiedriskās rīcības komitejas aicinājumam, daudzi vēlētāji boikotē vēlēšanas, attiecīgi ievēlēto mandātu leģitimitāte var būt apšaubāma. Migranti atkal nāk! Jūlija beigās Spānijai piederošajā Ziemeļāfrikas pilsētā Seutā izveidojās viena no lielākajām migrācijas krīzēm Eiropas Savienībā pēdējo gadu laikā. Dažās dienās robežu no Marokas šķērsoja desmitiem tūkstošu cilvēku, lielākoties jauni marokāņi, kuri centās nokļūt Eiropas Savienības teritorijā. Migranti robežu šķērsoja pa sauszemi, pārvarot robežas infrastruktūru, vai peldus gar piekrastes aizsargbarjerām. Spānijas iestādes ziņo, ka šobrīd lielākā daļa šo cilvēku jau ir atgriezušies Marokā, tomēr vairāki tūkstoši joprojām uzturas Seutā, radot nopietnu slogu pilsētas uzņemšanas un sociālās palīdzības sistēmām. Seuta kopā ar Melilju ir Spānijai piederošās teritorijas Ziemeļāfrikā, kur atrodas vienīgā Eiropas Savienības sauszemes robeža ar kādu Āfrikas valsti. Spānija ieguva šos atbalsta punktus otrpus Vidusjūrai 16. gadsimtā, taču Maroka, kopš no Francijas un Spānijas dubutprotektorāta 1956. gadā kļuva par neatkarīgu valsti, uzskata to par savu suverēno teritoriju. Nu jau gadiem Seuta un Melilja ir viens no galvenajiem nelegālās migrācijas maršrutiem uz Eiropu. Pēdējā masveida robežas šķērsošana notika 2021. gada maijā, pēc tam, kad Maroka atviegloja robežkontroli. Šī Marokas puses rīcība sakrita ar diplomātisko strīdu ar Spāniju, kad pēdējā atļāva iebraukt Rietumsahāras neatkarības kustības „Polisario Fronte” līderim Brahimam Gali, lai ārstētos pret Covid-19. Rietumsahāra arī ir bijušais Spānijas koloniālais valdījums, kura lielāko daļu šobrīd kontrolē Maroka, taču teritorijas starptautiskais statuss paliek nedefinēts. Šoreiz masveida cilvēku kustību, pēc Spānijas amatpersonu un mediju vēstītā, veicināja sociālajos tīklos izplatīta maldinoša informācija, ka robeža ir atvērta un migrantiem būs viegli iegūt uzturēšanās tiesības Spānijā. Varasiestādes uzsver, ka šīs ziņas neatbilst patiesībai. Izskanējuši pieņēmumi, ka robežkontroles vājināšanos no Marokas puses arī šoreiz ietekmējis saspīlējums abu valstu attiecībās. Krīzes laikā vairāki cilvēki gājuši bojā, cenšoties sasniegt Seutu pa jūru vai šķērsojot robežbarjeras. Spānija pastiprinājusi drošības pasākumus un sadarbojas ar Maroku, lai novērstu jaunus masveida robežas šķērsošanas mēģinājumus. Vienlaikus Eiropas Savienībā atsākusies diskusija par ārējo robežu aizsardzību, migrācijas politiku un dalībvalstu savstarpējo solidaritāti. Izskanējuši pat aicinājumi ierobežot Šengenas vīzu sistēmas darbību Spānijā. Paredzams, ka tuvākajā laikā jautājums par situāciju Seutā būs viens no svarīgākajiem migrācijas politikas tematiem gan Spānijā, gan citur Eiropas Savienībā. Tramps turpina nest mieru pasaulei Jūlija beigās ASV prezidents Donalds Tramps paziņoja, ka panākta principiāla vienošanās par palestīniešu grupējuma „Hamās” pakāpenisku atbruņošanos Gazas joslā. Pēc Trampa teiktā, vienošanās paredz „Hamās” smagā bruņojuma nodošanu un militārās infrastruktūras likvidēšanu, kam sekotu pakāpeniska Izraēlas karaspēka izvešana no Gazas, starptautiski uzraudzīta drošības mehānisma izveide un teritorijas atjaunošanas darbi. Vienlaikus abas konfliktā iesaistītās puses uzsvērušas, ka vairāki būtiski jautājumi vēl nav atrisināti, tādēļ vienošanās īstenošana pagaidām nav garantēta. „Hamās” amatpersonas apstiprinājušas gatavību apspriest pakāpenisku atbruņošanos, tomēr norādījušas, ka tas būs iespējams tikai tad, ja Izraēla pilnībā ievēros pamiera nosacījumus, pārtrauks militārās operācijas un sāks karaspēka atvilkšanu. Savukārt Izraēlas premjerministrs Benjamins Netanjahu paziņojis, ka Izraēla neatkāpsies no mērķa pilnībā likvidēt „Hamās” militārās spējas un iznīcināt tās pazemes tuneļu infrastruktūru, uzsverot, ka drošības garantijas ir priekšnoteikums jebkādas turpmākas politiskās vienošanās īstenošanai Gazā. Vairākas Tuvo Austrumu valstis, tai skaitā Ēģipte, Katara un Turcija, paudušas cerību, ka vienošanās varētu pavērt ceļu ilgstošākam mieram un Gazas atjaunošanai. Vienlaikus starptautiskie novērotāji uzsver, ka vienošanās panākumi būs atkarīgi no abu pušu spējas ievērot uzņemtās saistības un pārtraukt karadarbību. Situācija pašā Gazas joslā joprojām saglabājas ļoti sarežģīta. Neraugoties uz diplomātiskajiem centieniem, Izraēla turpina triecienus par Gazas teritoriju, un palestīniešu amatpersonas ziņo par jauniem bojāgājušajiem un ievainotajiem. Liela daļa Gazas iedzīvotāju joprojām ir pārvietoti, humānās palīdzības piegādes ir nepietiekamas, joprojām pastāv pārtikas, ūdens un medicīnisko resursu trūkums. Tādēļ, lai gan Trampa paziņojums radījis cerības uz konflikta noregulējumu, reālā situācija Gazā pagaidām liecina, ka ceļš līdz stabilam mieram vēl nebūt nav tik taisns un saulains, kādu to savos izteikumos zīmē Baltā nama saimnieks. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš un Artis Tomsons.
Sorry for the delay! We hit a few technical gremlins this month, so we're a few days behind schedule, but we're back with another instalment of Carpy Ramblings. Spoiler alert: Mark doesn't drop any tackle boxes, lose any fish, or cause any lakeside disasters this time. In fact, for a change, he doesn't even cast out. Instead, we settle in by the lake and chat about the recent heatwave and its impact on fisheries, catch up on Mark's ADHD journey, and look back at The Wild Goose Chase—the latest film from Gaz and me. We also discuss how some of our bait photos mysteriously found their way onto another brand's social media in what can only be described as a rather questionable attempt to sell products. The Panther returns with another slice of sermon magic, there's your chance to win a bait bundle, and, last but certainly not least, Jake "The Heron" joins us once again to talk about a huge change in his life. After leaving his full-time role at Prolite Explorer, he's taking the plunge into some exciting new ventures — and we find out exactly what's next. Enjoy.
Grab a cold beverage and settle in! This week on Tall Boy Radio, Beans and Gaz are firing up the microphones for an absolutely packed, literary-fueled conversation. The boys are joined by the incredibly prolific independent author Victoria L. Szulc to dissect an astonishing milestone: writing and publishing over 30 books.Victoria is a true genre-hopper, spanning everything from dark, atmospheric vampire lore to gears-and-goggles steampunk adventures, with a fascinating detour into the gritty world of true crime. In this deep-dive interview, the trio uncovers exactly what drives a writer to produce such a massive body of work, the mechanics of a relentless writing schedule, and a masterclass on the subgenres capturing readers' imaginations today.For the uninitiated, the term "Steampunk" can feel a bit elusive. Beans kicks off the conversation by asking Victoria to lay down the definitive framework for the genre. Victoria breaks it down beautifully, explaining that it is essentially a subgenre of science fiction that incorporates retro-futuristic technology and aesthetics based on 19th-century steam-powered machinery. Think the Victorian era meets advanced, alternate-history technology—where cybernetics run on brass gears, airships dominate the skies, and corsets meet ray guns.Gaz dives into the creative well, asking Victoria how she keeps the wellspring of ideas from running dry after 30+ titles. Victoria shares her deep love for history, classic gothic horror, and the aesthetic of bygone eras. Whether she is world-building a sprawling steampunk empire or crafting centuries-old vampire hierarchies, her inspiration often sparks from real-world historical anomalies, architecture, and the dark corners of folklore.You don't hit a 30-book bibliography by waiting around for inspiration to strike. Victoria pulls back the curtain on her daily routine, giving Beans, Gaz, and the listeners a realistic look at her writing schedule. She discusses:The discipline of daily word-count goals.How she manages to balance plotting complex, multi-book series while keeping her standalone projects fresh.The reality of being an indie author, where writing is only half the battle alongside editing, formatting, and marketing.Beans and Gaz are always curious about workflow, prompting a great segment on what helps Victoria maintain intense focus. From curated ambient playlists that match the mood of her gothic or Victorian settings, to the exact environment she needs to block out the noise of the modern world, Victoria shares her personal "focus hacks" that keep her fingers flying across the keyboard.Shifting gears from fiction to reality, the guys ask Victoria about her dabbling in the true crime genre. She explains the profound differences between inventing a fictional vampire antagonist and researching real-world crime. It's a fascinating look at how a fiction writer adapts to the rigid, fact-heavy boundaries of non-fiction.Find Victoria online :Home | thecountessvictorialszulcauthortallboyradio.com

Grab a cold one and settle in, because this week the Tall Boy studio is absolutely packed to the rafters. Hosts Beans, Gaz, and Andy are back together, but they've brought some serious southern hospitality along for the ride. Joining the crew all the way from the Lone Star State are Beans' cousin Beau and his legendary pals Kevin and Ron.The boys are fresh off an epic, whirlwind road trip that saw Beans playing tour guide to three Texans on a historic, beer-soaked journey starting in the heart of London and winding all the way up to the historic streets of Edinburgh.The episode kicks off with the guys landing in London and immediately hitting the bricks. Beau, Kevin, and Ron give their unfiltered first impressions of the UK, before Beans recounts leading them into the dark history of the East End on a chilling Jack the Ripper tour. From there, things took a more musical turn with a mandatory pilgrimage to the iconic Abbey Road crossing (yes, shoes stayed on).But you can't have a Tall Boy road trip without proper pubs, and London delivered.

Andy takes the lead to talk about walking the spectacular medieval York City Walls and marveling at the towering York Minster.Of course, the history lessons quickly returned to true crime and rebellion. The guys share a pint at the very pub where Guy Fawkes was born, before heading over to The Blue Boar Inn to drink a beer right next to the spot where the infamous highwayman Dick Turpin's body lay after his execution.

Grab your popcorn and lock your doors, because this week Beans and Gaz are turning the lights down low. The boys are joined in the studio by horror aficionados Chris and Jake Montejunas—the masterminds behind the Supernatural Collaborations Media podcast and Iron Rose Customs LLC.As it turns out, all four grew up watching gore, ghosts, and ghouls from a criminally young age, and it's time to put that childhood trauma to good use. The crew dives headfirst into the ultimate horror debate: When it comes to the holy trinity of slashers, who reigns supreme? Is it the silent, calculated evil of Michael Myers, the relentless brute force of Jason Voorhees, or the quip-heavy nightmare fuel of Freddy Krueger?The conversation gets bloody as they dissect the evolution of the genre, pitting the golden age of practical special effects against the glossy, modern world of CGI. Plus, they tackle the age-old question: Do horror remakes ever actually match up to the original masterpieces?Wait, did we actually forget Clive Barker? The guys address the Cenobite in the room and debate whether they intentionally left out Hellraiser and Nightbreed, or if they just got distracted by things that go bump in the night.Intermingled with the cinematic debates is a treasure trove of odd trivia—including the terrifying true story that loosely inspired Wes Craven to create A Nightmare on Elm Street. Finally, the crew veers way off the beaten horror path to discuss the "regular" mainstream movies that somehow managed to scare the absolute bejesus out of them.It's a hilarious, nostalgic, and occasionally spine-chilling episode you don't want to miss!The Big Three: Breaking down Michael vs. Jason vs. Freddy.Practical vs. Pixels: Why 80s special effects still hold a special place in our hearts over modern CGI.The Remake Curse: Can a reboot ever capture the lightning in a bottle of the original?Horror Lore: The real-life medical mystery behind Freddy Krueger's origin.Unexpected Terror: Non-horror movies that left us scarred for life.Follow our guests:InstagramInstagramtallboyradio.com
What exactly constitutes "Radical Research material?" We're gonna test that question with this and the next episode. With episode 148, we answer with more questions: "Is it weird?" "Is it heavy?" "Is it something we enjoy?" "Would most of the music-listening world hate it?" Yes, yes, yes and yes! And lord, do we love us some Cathedral. Especially the early era, which is the 5-year chunk of time investigated here. Herein, we hail Dorrian, Gaz, Griffiths, Lehan and the three drummers that comprise this most potent, powerful era of the UK's legendary lords of doom. Note I: Something we knew about but failed to mention on this episode: even though the roots of Cathedral are partly based on the fateful meeting of doom-heads Lee Dorrian and Mark Griffiths, it is also rooted in a project that guitarist Gary “Gaz” Griffiths did after leaving Acid Reign. The following is from the mighty Metal Archives, to help fill in the gap here: “Morbid Doom recorded a demo entitled ‘Sorrow's Epitaph' in late 1989 or early '90, which contained about 9 songs. Two of the tracks on it would later become Cathedral songs: ‘Sorrows End' became ‘Jaded Entity", and ‘Suffocation of Mankind' became ‘Phantasmagoria.' The reworked/re-recorded versions of both ended up on 1993's The Ethereal Mirror album.” Note II: Jeff's Voivod book, ‘Always Moving: The Strange Multiverse of Voivod,' is now available. You can purchase a copy of the 540-page, 3-pound behemoth HERE: radicalresearch.org/voivod Note III: The Radical Research Patreon page is now set up and ready for your patronage.

We're back with another episode of A (Non) League Of Their Own! Join us every fortnight where we discuss the best Non-League stories from up & down the country, from The National League to The Dog & Duck & everything in between. This week we were joined by Gaz & G Stop as we discussed everything from the World Cup to G Stops school days.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Peter and Abbey are back together from opposite sides of the world, with Pete still in Los Angeles covering the Club World Cup while Abbey holds down the fort in Portugal... and it's fair to say long distance is still bringing plenty of chaos.The pair kick things off by catching up after time apart, with Peter showing off his questionable LA haircut before the conversation quickly spirals into expensive celebrity barbers, World Cup stories and Abbey receiving an unexpected history lesson on Maradona's infamous "Hand of God".Elsewhere, Abbey opens up about a brand new parenting challenge as the couple navigate life with a 15-year-old daughter and the reality of teenage boys beginning to appear on the scene. They also tackle one listener's noisy partner, another whose role play was completely derailed by an overly committed builder delivering a full loft conversion quote, and revisit the legendary "lingerie crab" story after the couple write back with a surprising update... and some very happy news.There's also a fiery renovation debate as Peter discovers more surprise bills arriving for their new house, admits his only contribution has been choosing the boilers, and accuses Abbey of going "knob shopping" without him.Plus, Peter reflects honestly on life after professional football, why he rarely plays anymore despite still loving the game, whether they've already "peaked" in life, and why finding new passions has become more important than ever.If you want to submit an Agony Ab or Ask Me Anything question to the podcast, hit the link below:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKD...00:00 - Intro01:00 - Peter explains why every footballer ends up with the same World Cup haircut02:25 - Expensive LA barbers03:15 - World Cup excitement and talking about Kane's goal04:05 - Peter tells Abbey the full story of Maradona's infamous "Hand of God"06:55 - Parenting worries begin as Abbey opens up08:00 - The realities of teenage girls and navigating dating as parents10:05 - World Cup moments and England excitement11:00 - Peter's Weekly Whine: surprise renovation bills keep arriving from home12:20 - Boilers, driveway lights and why Peter feels left out of designing the house13:25 - Knob shopping15:10 - Peter reveals the only part of the new house he actually wants control over16:25 - Listener update: the famous "lingerie crab" mystery finally gets solved18:15 - Engagement news after one of the podcast's strangest ever listener dilemmas19:20 - Peter wearing women's clothes and the conversation gets ridiculous20:00 - Abbey's Love Island lookalike and Gaz's invitation to a Fourth of July LA pool party22:00 - Agony Ab: what do you do when your boyfriend is a bedroom screamer?24:45 - Long distance life and why this week's episode became a catch-up instead26:10 - Former athlete struggles: does Peter still miss playing professional football?28:00 - Peter admits football frustrates him now and explains why he rarely plays29:00 - Finding new passions through golf and life after football30:00 - Have Peter and Abbey already "peaked" in life?
