    With 2023 seeing a spike in arrivals on Europe's shores and borders, migration is once again the pressing  issue across the continent. The European Commission's vice-president, Margaritis Schinas, has urged member states to finalize a crucial deal over migration reform, telling ministers that a unified plan would be a means of fighting back against a rising tide of populism and smuggling networks. As the bloc looks to finalize a deal on migration policy, Greece is also making the case for Europe to revamp the EU-Turkey migrant deal from 2016. Alexandra Voudouri, Kathimerini's Brussels correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis to look at how a surge in migrant arrivals is impacting European politics, and explore whether a deal is finally around the corner for the EU's flagship migration reform.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:EU fails to agree changes to migration laws as Germany and Italy clashGerman-Italian rift thwarts EU deal on new rules to deal with migration crisesAthens wants to revamp EU-Turkey migrant dealComplications in reaching migration dealCyprus hails Moody's two-notch credit rating upgrade bringing the country into investment gradeTurkish planes raid Kurdish targets in Iraq after terror attack in AnkaraTurkey: Two officers injured in blast outside interior ministry

She organised Amex sponsorship for major Stonewall events and served in a personal capacity as a Stonewall “Ambassador”. Bev Jackson was a founding member of the UK Gay Liberation Front in 1970. She is a lifelong progressive activist in causes including anti-Apartheid and refugee rights. In 2016 she published a book, A Month with Starfish, on her experience working with refugees in Greece. Bev worked as a teacher and then a lecturer in English literature at the University of Amsterdam, and later became an academic translator. She lives in the Netherlands. Kate Harris and Bev Jackson were introduced to each other in 2019 by a mutual acquaintance who saw they shared similar concerns about Stonewall's abandonment of gay and lesbian rights. Both had separately communicated their concerns to Stonewall, but there was no willingness to engage. In the summer of 2019 they therefore decided to team up and to revive the gay rights movement in the form of a new organisation: LGB Alliance.

The deal includes disaster funds, but no US aid for Ukraine. A Republican congressman tells us why he would vote against the deal.

    The broad consensus today is that US-Greece relations are at an all time high. As the two countries deepen their ties, and as Greece takes on a more active role in the region as a key player, many are arguing that the “sky is the limit” when it comes to where the relationship could go. This was the focus of a recent policy paper Katerina Sokou wrote for ELIAMEP, titled US-Greece Relations: Capitalizing on a Generational High. Katernia Sokou joins Thanos Davelis to explore how both countries can capitalize on the progress made so far to take this critical relationship to new heights.Katerina Sokou is the Theodore Couloumbis Research Fellow on “Greek-American Relations” at ELIAMEP.

    Greece's big economic success over the last years has been tourism, and, as tourists flock to Greece, so is foreign money. This is also coinciding with an increase in Greek homes going to foreign buyers, and in homeowners choosing to put their homes and apartments on platforms like Airbnb. As a result, average Greek property prices and rent have shot up, and many young Greeks fear that homeownership may be out of reach at a time when Greece is also facing a long-term demographic challenge. John Psaropoulos, an independent journalist based in Greece and Al Jazeera's southeast Europe correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis to look at how Greece's success story, tourism, could also be contributing to Greece's demographic challenge.Read John Psaropoulos' latest article here: Tourism's dark side: Are those who love Greece killing it?You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Homes flooded as Storm Elias hits battered Volos in central GreeceGreece and Turkey seal mini migration pact

    SCRIPTURE: Esther 2:1-18SHOW NOTES: The second chapter in the book of Esther begins, “After these things,” so we ask this question, “What things?” King Ahasuerus had hosted a military planning session in Susa for 180 days that concluded with a 7-day feast “where wine was abundant.” The King summoned Queen Vashti to appear before him and his guests. But she refused and he removed her from the throne as Queen. Soon after He turned his attention to Greece where his mighty troops met a severe disaster and defeat. Returning home, he is surrounded by life in the Persian palace, and he remembers Queen Vashti and all that had happened. The king's advisors suggest that officers in all the provinces of his kingdom gather beautiful young virgins and bring them to the harem in Susa the citadel. There was a Jew in Susa named Mordecai, who had been carried away from Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. He was raising Hadassah (that is Esther), the daughter of his uncle, as his own daughter. The young woman had a beautiful figure and was lovely to look at, and her father and her mother had died. She is brought to the palace harem, and very quickly Esther began winning favor in the eyes of all who saw her. SONG: "Look To Me" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu8t9D1SZys

    John Catsimatidis went from rags to riches to become the CEO of the Red Apple Group where he began his meteoric rise to billionaire status as the founder of the Gristedes supermarket chain in New York City. He started as a child immigrant from very modest beginnings were he had to learn English and where he took one small grocery store and turned it into a sprawling empire. He has gone on to be wildly successful in other industries including real estate, energy, sports and media as the owner of WABC Radio in NYC. His book is How Far Do You Want To Go: Lessons from a Common-Sense Billionaire. If you ever dreamed of hitting the Lotto, dream on...or learn the blueprint from this book on how to get to the top...the very top. Topics we cover in this interview include: What was life like growing up in West Harlem? What inspired you to write a book and what are the main takeaways you wish for our audience to learn from reading it? What do you believe are your secrets or not so secret principles that have enabled you to build not only a successful business empire but a successful personal life as well? What is your idea of common sense that you allude to in the subtitle of your book? There is an incredible quote in your book that was your public school's slogan: Never let it rest until our good gets better and our better gets best. What does that mean to you and how have you applied this lesson? In the book, you say that you were insecure in public school. Insecure that you weren't smart enough. Insecure that your English was not good enough. Insecure that the other kids had more and knew more. Insecure that you did not belong. How did you cope with that at 5 years old & how did you overcome this? What role does collaborating with others play in your life and do you have a prime example that comes to mind of a particularly mutually successful collaboration? Can you tell us what is the sink or swim theory you learned from your cousin in Greece?

    Our producer Wojciech has a theory that Central and Eastern Europe, in their broadest sense, share a common trait - they do not tolerate emptiness. Any deficit or shortage is promptly filled by individuals who have come to realize that they cannot always depend on their states to provide essential services. This is precisely the theme of our interview this week, with Ilir Gashi, who shares his story of getting involved in an unofficial courier system between Kosovo and Serbia when the state postal office ceased its deliveries. Against the backdrop of recent tensions between these countries flaring up once again, it provides a poignant glimpse into the daily life on the border of these nations. We're also talking about Greece's new left-ish leader Stefanos Kasselakis (and his good-looking dog) and Spain's dealings with its gruesome past under the infamous General Franco.  This is our first episode of the autumn season and we'll stay with you until the end of the year!

    Our guest this week, Kika Hatzopoulou, grew up in Greece with the foundation of Ancient Greece and its mythology all around her. She now lives in London and until recently was an acquisitions editor for a Greek publisher, where she read and recommended books being published in the US and Britain for acquisition and translation for Greek audiences. She tinkered with the idea of writing a book herself, combining the Greek mythology stories she learned as a child with the detective stories and gritty noir that she loves reading. The result is Threads that Bind. The novel Threads That Bind is about three sisters who are descendants of the Fates (also known as the Morai), the three mythological sisters who hold everyone's destinies in their hands via threads. Io, the youngest sister, is a private investigator who discovers that someone is kidnapping women, tampering with their threads and essentially turning them into zombies. She has numerous potential suspects from Greek mythology: the Furies, the Oneroi (who control dreams), the Graces (who bestow artistic gifts on humans), and the Keres (who are the spirits of violent death). It is a novel that opens up a world of mythological characters you may not know much about. A sequel to Threads that Bind titled Hearts that Cut comes out in summer 2024.

    “When I first decided to do these pilgrimages, I told myself I'm doing this as an investigative reporter. I'm doing it as an observer, and as an outsider … and in the end, that isn't what happened.” Rosemary Mahoney, author The Singular Pilgrim: Travels on Sacred Ground When Rosemary Mahoney got off the ferry at the tiny island of Tinos, in Greece, she witnessed something extraordinary. Pilgrims dressed in black exited the boat and immediately flung themselves to the ground, crawling on hands and knees to worship at a shrine at the top of a nearby hill.  Watching these men and women rolling in the dirt, sweating beneath a scorching sun, she asked herself a simple question. Every human culture that has ever existed has had some concept of the divine, however you define that. She wanted to understand why. Her search for an answer began a remarkable journey to undertake six of the world's most prominent religious pilgrimages. Her journey would take her from the Way of St James, trekking hundreds of miles across the Pyrenees of southern France and Spain, to the burning ghats of Varanasi, on the banks of the Ganges River, in India, and beyond. This isn't a story about religion, or faith. It is an investigation into one of the most fundamental, but little understood, aspects of humanity. It is a quest to discover the roots of belief itself. And to find it, she will have to travel to six countries, walk hundreds of miles, and stare death in the face.  Insightful, evocative, and inspiring. Rosemary's story is an adventure into the heart of what it means to be human.
