Gyrfalcons are circumpolar, nesting in the far north of Asia, North America, and Europe, including Iceland and Greenland. They evolved as a distinct species in the Pleistocene Era, around 100,000 years ago. Their large size and warm feathering gave them an edge for nesting high in the Arctic. Gyrfalcons reuse the same nesting site year after year, and some nests have been occupied for 2,500 years!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

After Donald Trump's threats to annex Greenland, Denmark's Foreign Affairs Ministry establishes a new "night watch" of bureaucrats -- who keep an eye on the U.S. President after hours. A B.C. Indigenous leader says he's not interested in sitting down with a minister from Alberta's government -- because he is never going to support a bitumen pipeline. There are furious calls for accountability after a video the UN is calling an "apparent summary execution" by Israeli border police is broadcast. A human rights advocate tells us that accountability won't happen. After months of pressure, Nova Scotia releases a draft report from a special panel on environmental racism. Our guest tells us it's about time the province answers the call for a formal apology.Archeologists say they now have hard evidence that a ring of large pits discovered near Stonehenge were made by humans some 4,000 years ago -- but why is still a mystery. A South Korean man was charged with theft after taking about a dollar's worth of treats from the office refrigerator -- and after his employer takes him to court, he finds himself snack-dab in the middle of a major case. As It Happens, the Friday Edition. Radio that shares an embarrassment of fridges.

In this interview, comic-book veteran Gabriel Hardman takes us behind the scenes of his bold, new four-issue miniseries Batman/Green Arrow/The Question: Arcadia — out now under DC Comics' Black Label. We break down why Bruce Wayne, Green Arrow, and The Question are teaming up now; what “Arcadia” represents; and how Hardman's decades-long dream project finally came together. What You'll LearnHow a teenage Hardman first pictured this trio working together — and why he waited until now to tell their story. The dystopian, climate-aware premise: “Arcadia,” a floating, climate-hardened city off Greenland's coast — and the darker truths lurking beneath its utopian veneer. What sets this series apart: a hard-boiled, character-driven thriller that updates the spirit of ‘80s–‘90s vigilante stories for modern times.Key themes: power, corruption, moral gray zones, and what justice really means when institutions — and heroes — are compromised.

Eighteen years, a 14-metre-deep crater, a rebuilt brick façade, and a glass dome set to redefine Copenhagen's skyline Denmark's new Natural History Museum is almost ready.  In this episode, Michael Booth meets architect Claus Pryds, who was barely out of architecture school when he unexpectedly won the competition for the country's next great museum. What followed was a marathon of design, engineering and sheer perseverance that stretched across nearly two decades.  Michael and Claus dive into the wild story behind the museum: the setbacks, the breakthroughs, the impossible holes in the ground — and the thrill of watching a once-in-a-lifetime project finally rise to the surface. Opening in 2027, the museum will feature new worlds dedicated to Danish nature and Greenland and rumoured to have everything from dinosaurs to a Blue Whale skeleton.  Guest: Claus Pryds Host:  Michael Booth  Let's Talk Architecture is a podcast by Danish Architecture Center.

Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove is a Belgian-Icelandic nature and landscape photographer based in Reykjavík, internationally acclaimed for his striking imagery of volcanic eruptions and Iceland's untamed wilderness. Since 2021, Jeroen has dedicated his focus to documenting the Central Highlands and photographing active eruptions, including the Fagradalsfjall and Sundhnúksgígar events. Having now captured 11 volcanic eruptions, he has built a rare and powerful visual record of Iceland's ever-changing geology.   His work reveals the raw energy and surreal beauty of Earth in motion. As a licensed photography guide, Jeroen leads immersive workshops and private expeditions across Iceland and Greenland, granting participants rare access to volcanic sites, glacial landscapes, and remote highland regions. His tours centre on safety, sustainability, and cultivating personal connection to nature.   In conversation, Jeroen shares his journey from hobbyist to professional photographer, inspired by early travels and a life-changing trip to Iceland. He opens up about the technical and emotional challenges of photographing volcanic eruptions, the creative impact of living in Iceland, and the essential role of marketing in building a photography career. Jeroen also reflects on responsible tourism, his photographic philosophy, and the profound sense of wonder that drives his work.   His photography invites viewers to witness the Earth's heartbeat — alive, evolving, and endlessly inspiring.   I hope you enjoy the show!

➡️ Watch the full interview ad-free, join a community of geopolitics enthusiasts and gain access to exclusive content on PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/DecodingGeopolitics➡️ Sign up to my free geopolitics newsletter: https://stationzero.substack.com/This is a conversation with Victor Davis Hanson - a classics professor, military historian, a Senior Fellow at the Stanford's University Hoover Institution and one of the most prominent advocates and supporters of Donald Trump, especially within the academic think-tank world. If you've listened to this podcast before, you probably noticed that I am pretty critical of Donald Trump's foreign policy. While I don't reject everything he does, I have some pretty fundamental issues with how he treats Europe, NATO or America's allies and its international commitments in general. And you also might have noticed that many of my guests are very critical of Donald Trump's foreign policy as well - just in recent months I spoke with John Bolton, Anne Applebaum, Francis Fukuyama all of whom have been even more critical than me. However, I don't want to close myself off in my own bubble, and I think it's good to be open to ideas of people with other views, especially if they argue in good faith and if we agree on some basic values.And that's why I'm speaking with Victor today. He is a pretty staunch Trump supporter but he also has many views that are not typically associated with Trump - he strongly supports NATO, he is a major supporter of Ukraine, he is hawkish on Russia and advocates for the U.S. to arm and he is overall the type that most Donald Trump supporters might call a “neoconservative” with views that Donald Trump himself has frequently criticized.And so we speak about how all those things go together. How does protecting the postwar-liberal order go together with Trump talking about annexing Greenland and Canada, why didn't Trump end the war in 24 hours as he promised or whether he was naive in his plan for how to do that, how can Europe be in an alliance with a U.S. president who doesn't believe in alliances or why he thinks that Trump is the most pro-European U.S. president in history.To clarify, I don't agree with many of the views that Victor has talked about on European or Americans domestic politics but that's not what the podcast is about and I didn't want to focus on. And I'm still not sure whether I agree with anything that he said - but despite that, I think that it's a fascinating conversation that I was really glad to have. And I heard a perspective that might not be the same as mine but that I still found to be really interesting - I hope you'll feel the same way. 

I sat down with analyst and former oil trader Alex Krainer at Deutsche Goldmesse to break down why commodity prices matter now more than ever. We get into $4,000+ gold, hedging mistakes that cost miners billions, and why he thinks Western bonds and major currencies are facing serious downside risk.We also talk AI, geopolitics, and how these trends could shape the next big macro move.#Geopolitics #ForeignPolicy #WorldAffairs---------------------

We zoom in on the EU's newly announced emissions reduction targets and two lithium mine projects in Serbia and Portugal facing tough resistance. Then: the battle of olive farmers against solar parks in Spain, the role of Greenland's glaciers in a crucial tipping point, and a trip to the first ever Venice Noir Festival.

That's right, folks! It's another Walker and Olivia Special, and today we're covering the new one from Edgar Wright: The Running Man (2025). We discuss our thoughts on this remake, the themes of the film, and what we think of Glenn Powell overall. We also discuss Jason Alexander's iconic wig and performance in his guest role on an episode of Criminal Minds, The Hunger Games, Greenland, and monkeys. How do those things all tie into The Running Man, you ask?? Guess you'll have to tune in to find out.

What opportunities and challenges does mining in Greenland present, and how can the interests of local communities, industry, and the environment be balanced?Joining the conversation are:Sara Olsvig, International Chair, Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC); Head of Delegation to the Arctic CouncilNaja Dyrendom Graugaard, Assistant Professor, University of Copenhagen, DenmarkNauja Bianco, Member of the Board of Directors, Greenland Resources Inc., Canada; Director, Isuma Consulting, GreenlandNick Bæk Heilmann, Senior Associate, Kaya PartnersEdward Westropp, Head of Business Development and Corporate Affairs, Amaroq MineralsModerating is Damien Degeorges, Director of Degeorges Consulting.This Session was recorded live at the Arctic Circle Business Forum, held October 16th to 17th, during the 2025 Arctic Circle Assembly, in Reykjavík, Iceland.Arctic Circle is the largest network of international dialogue and cooperation on the future of the Arctic.

Cardinal Robert Prevost made history earlier this year, when he became the first American pontiff to lead the Catholic Church. And when he stepped out onto the balcony of St Peter's Basilica as Pope Leo XIV, dressed in traditional papal robes, some conservatives in the church took it as a sign of a symbolic shift away from what they saw as the liberal drift of his predecessor the late Pope Francis. Francis, who had put social justice at the heart of his papacy, divided opinion. Some Catholics praised his stance on issues like same-sex blessings, whilst others claimed that he had abandoned tradition for wokeness. Now six months into his papacy, Pope Leo XIV is also coming under similar scrutiny, he's already been criticized by some Catholics from the Make America Great Again (Maga) movement in the United States for blessing a block of Greenland ice. Whilst on the issue of same-sex blessings, his stated intention is to continue the same course as Pope Francis, that the Church's teaching is not going to change on this issue.But though he may also be advocating diversity, equity and inclusion, Pope Leo XIV may not necessarily be a carbon copy of his predecessor. As he prepares for his first apostolic visit to Turkey and Lebanon, Pope Leo XIV already appears to be charting a more nuanced path, grounded in pastoral instincts rather than divisive politics. So, on The Inquiry this week we're asking, ‘Is the new Pope woke?'Contributors: Dr Massimo Faggioli, Professor in Ecclesiology, Loyola Institute, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Inés San Martín, Vice President of Communications, The Pontifical Mission Societies, New York, USA Christopher White, Author ‘Pope Leo XIV: Inside the Conclave and the Dawn of New Papacy', Associate Director, Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life, Georgetown University, Washington DC, USA Elise Ann Allen, Senior Correspondent for Crux, Author ‘Leo XIV: Citizen of the World, Missionary of the 21st Century', Rome, Italy Presenter: William Crawley Producer: Jill Collins Researcher: Maeve Schaffer Production Management Assistant: Liam Morrey Technical Producer: Craig Boardman Editor: Tom Bigwood(Photo: Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican in May 2025.

Mod de åbne vidder, hvor nordlyset snart ville vise sig.En: They walked together through the small settlement, toward the open expanses where the northern lights would soon appear.Da: "Kasper," sagde Signe blidt, "her er historier skjulte i hver sten og snedække. Der er respekt, vi skal vise."En: "Kasper," Signe said gently, "there are stories hidden in every stone and snow cover. There's respect we must show."Da: Kasper nikkede, hans øjne glimtede i måneskinnet.En: Kasper nodded, his eyes glistening in the moonlight.Da: "Jeg vil lære, Signe. Lær mig at forstå."En: "I want to learn, Signe. Teach me to understand."Da: Hun smilede. "Først og fremmest lytter vi. Føler vi."En: She smiled. "First and foremost, we listen. We feel."Da: Sammen nåede de udsigtspunktet.En: Together they reached the vantage point.Da: Himlen over dem begyndte at gløde.En: The sky above them began to glow.Da: Grøn, lilla og blå dansede i spraglet harmoni.En: Green, purple, and blue danced in colorful harmony.Da: Kasper stod tavs, hans åndedræt gik langsomt.En: Kasper stood silent, his breath slowed.Da: Han kunne mærke historiens vægt omkring sig.En: He could feel the weight of history around him.Da: Så talte han, med en blid stemme, "Jeg ser, at nordlyset er som en åndedans. Det fortæller om jeres forfædre, ikke bare lys på himlen."En: Then he spoke, with a gentle voice, "I see that the northern lights are like a spirit dance. It tells of your ancestors, not just lights in the sky."Da: Signe så overrasket på ham, hendes kondensede ånde blandede sig med natten.En: Signe looked at him surprised, her condensed breath mingling with the night.Da: "Det er rigtigt, Kasper. Vi siger, at forfædrene leger, når nordlyset kommer. Du har forstået det."En: "That's right, Kasper. We say that the ancestors play when the northern lights come. You have understood it."Da: De stod sammen i den stille nat.En: They stood together in the quiet night.Da: Omkring dem dansede lyset videre, som en ældgammel hymne.En: Around them, the light continued to dance, like an ancient hymn.Da: Kasper kiggede på Signe med nyfunden respekt.En: Kasper looked at Signe with newfound respect.Da: Han havde fået mere, end han kom for.En: He had received more than he came for.Da: Han havde lært at værdsætte stilheden før ordene, respekt før fascination.En: He had learned to appreciate the silence before words, respect before fascination.Da: Og Signe? Hun følte, at hun kunne åbne op og dele, uden at miste det, som var hendes.En: And Signe? She felt that she could open up and share without losing what was hers.Da: Hun blev styrket i troen på, at hendes kultur kunne trygt deles, når hun blot beskyttede dens kerne.En: She was strengthened in the belief that her culture could be safely shared when she just protected its core.Da: Natten forløb, og Kasper og Signe gik tilbage til byen.En: The night elapsed, and Kasper and Signe walked back to the settlement.Da: De vidste begge, at denne aften havde bundet deres verdener sammen og givet dem begge noget uvurderligt - dyb respekt og forståelse.En: They both knew that this evening had bound their worlds together and given them both something invaluable—deep respect and understanding.

It's News Day Tuesday on the Majority Report On today's program: Chuck Schumer is officially persona non grata within the Democratic party. It is unclear whether the 7 Democrats and Angus King caved on the shut down at the behest of Schumer or in defiance of him but what is clear is his ineffectiveness as Senate Minority Leader. Former New York assemblyman and current primary challenger to Ritchie Torres for the 15-Congressional district of New York, Michael Blake joins the program to discuss his campaign. For more information on Michael's platform check out Michael Blake for Congress.

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for that bonus if I were an ATC. In the same interview Trump opines on turning healthcare into market-based accounts that will make people feel like entrepreneurs. Nothing takes the anxiety away from a health concern like having to negotiate a deal for your care. Patrick Bet-David and his crew react to Zohran Mamdani's proposal to enforce existing laws requiring slumlords to repair their buildings or risk having their properties seized by the city.

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: Iceland Airwaves 2025Iceland Airwaves 2025 took place last weekend with hundreds of artist performing over three day in 8 venues in downtown Reykjavík. The Reykjavík Grapevine reviewed every single show. Check out the coverage on our website. Time DelayOur neighbors in Greenland are changing their clock in order for people to squeeze more sunlight out of the day. This has woken up the discussion in Iceland from a sleep of some years. Should we move the clock, or not?SARS And RacismIceland's SARS have been doing their annual fundraising rounds of selling the so called “Neyðarkall” or “Emergency man”. This year the man of emergency brown of color, in memory of one Sigurður Kristofer, who tragically suffered a fatal accident last year, while training with SARS. This has sparked some negative discussions, or at least according to the father of one 19 year old SARS volunteer. Otherwise no report of people complaining about the color of the man of emergency have been reported, but this seems to have sparked enough outrage that the man of emergency has been selling like never before.Berm-in Out The Private Sector,Iceland's minister of finance, discussed the idea that perhaps the privately owned energy company HS Okra, who's Svartsengi powerplant has been saved fro lava by very expensive efforts of building berms, paid for by the State, should share in the costs. The CEO of HS Orka has found this suggestion to be “surprising”. Mexican standoff between Minister of Justice and Chief of PoliceWe reported on questionable and costly outsourcing of the Chief of the Icelandic police last week. What has ensued is a stare down, where Minister Of Justice is hoping the Chief of Police will resign.

Robert Price, CEO of Greenland Energy Company, joins the show to discuss the company's efforts to develop what could be one of the largest oil fields in the world, located onshore in Greenland. With an independent engineering report suggesting significant potential, Greenland Energy is repositioning equipment and expects to break ground in the summer of 2026, with Halliburton providing oil field services. Price believes the project's strategic location, combined with its high-quality oil, makes it an attractive alternative to U.S. shale, particularly as the U.S. industry faces concerns about a supply glut and declining reserves.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Independence from Denmark, the costs of mining for rare earth minerals and Inuit people's rights – some of the challenges facing the autonomous territory of Greenland. A former Danish colony, Greenland is the world's largest island with a population of just 57,000 people. Jonny Dymond chairs a panel of leading politicians from Denmark and Greenland to debate the future of this fascinating Arctic region – and take some tough questions from the public.The panel: Naaja Nathanielsen – Minister of Industry, Raw Materials, Mining and Energy – Greenlandic Parliament. Louise Elholm - MP in the Danish Parliament. Venstre party spokeswoman on Greenland. Kuno Fencker – MP in the Greenlandic Parliament – opposition Naleraq party. Ulrick Pram Gad – Senior researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies.Producer: Helen Towner

Many folks have claimed to find Earth's oldest fossils in the Greenland rocks, 3.7 billion years old. Before we meet and judge these contenders, we need to learn what counts as a fossil. This early in Earth history, nothing has any bones or teeth or shells, so researchers need to search for other clues. Today, I'll show you four ways to look for fossils in Earth's oldest rocks, including my personal field of study: fossilized bacteria.

Canadian National Unity and Alberta's Grievances Guest: Conrad Black Conrad Black reports on a debate between former Prime Ministers Jean Chrétien and Stephen Harper regarding Canadian national unity, focusing on Alberta's profound discontent. Resource-rich Alberta feels unfairly treated and prevented from profiting from oil and gas development due to federal opposition to pipeline construction. Harper warned of serious national problems if the new government, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, remains inflexible on energy policy. Black notes that while Canada's political institutions are durable, flexibility is required to maintain unity and coherence across diverse regions. GREENLAND

This week, in honor of Halloween, we're presenting two classic stories about facing fears for science.Part 1: As a newly minted PhD student in geology, Erik Klemetti starts to question his decisions when Aucanquilcha, a 20,000-foot volcano in Chile, proves difficult to tame. Part 2: Explorer George Kourounis finds himself growing increasingly anxious as he prepares to enter a fiery sinkhole known as the “Doorway to Hell.” Erik Klemetti is an associate professor of Geosciences and volcanologist at Denison University. He works on volcanoes all over the planet, from Chile to New Zealand to the Cascades of Oregon and California. His research focuses on how crystals record the events inside a volcano before and between eruptions. For the past 9 years, he's been teaching all the “hard rock” classes at Denison. He also writes for Discover Magazine. His blog, Rocky Planet, have been running since Fall 2017. Before that, he wrote Eruptions, a blog about volcanoes, for Wired Science for 9 years. You can also find him on Twitter (@eruptionsblog), variously tweeting about volcanoes, baseball (mostly Red Sox and Mariners) and his love of punk. George Kourounis is a renowned global explorer and storm chaser who specializes in documenting extreme forces of nature including: tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes, deserts, caves, avalanches and more. He is an Explorer In Residence for The Royal Canadian Geographical Society, served as the Chairman of the Explorers Club Canadian Chapter, and has received several awards and medals for his efforts. He frequently finds himself driving into the eye of fierce storms, or descending ropes into actively erupting volcanic craters, often while hosting television programs including “Angry Planet” and others. He has given five TEDx talks, and has addressed the United Nations Environmental Emergencies Forum. George's expeditions have taken him to over 80 countries on all seven continents to such far-flung places as: Madagascar, Turkmenistan, Vanuatu, Greenland, North Korea, Myanmar, and Antarctica.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Growing up on the high deserts of Roswell, New Mexico. Ron dedicated his early years to sports and music. He learned to sing by mimicking his dad's high tenor in church and he played a mean third base for his state champion Little League team. At age 13 his life was altered forever when his mother bought him a guitar and lessons at a local music store. Buoyed by her encouragement and the revelation that "girls dig it" Ron played "till his fingers hurt" in a series of rock bands and folk groups. In high school he was crushed by the realization (and several NFL-sized linebackers) that at 5'8" and 155 pounds, a professional sports career was not in his future. So, heading off to college with a scholarship to sing in the choir in his pocket, Ron dove headlong into developing his musical skills. It was there that he began writing songs. After graduation from Eastern New Mexico University, he hit the road playing clubs and coffee houses. Four years later on a brief visit to the beautiful hills of West Virginia it felt "so right" that he unloaded his car and began putting down roots. There he formed two critically acclaimed bands "The Putnam County Pickers" and "Stark Raven" with whom he recorded four albums and clocked thousands of miles touring across the US, Germany, Turkey, Greece, Crete, Ethiopia and Greenland. About the same time Ron joined a fledgling local radio show called Mountain Stage as the resident guitar player eventually rising to the position of music director. Starting with a handful of local radio stations, Mountain Stage is now heard on almost 300 stations nationwide on NPR. As a member of the Mountain Stage Band he has played with a wide array of artists ranging from Sarah McLachlan, Lyle Lovette & Maria Muldaur to The Band, REM, Dr John & Nora Jones.  "Dance Till the Music Stops" marks the release of his 4th solo album.        

8. Greenland's Final Days: The Mystery of Herjolfsnes and the Fifteenth-Century End Eleanor Barraclough Embers of the Hands: Hidden Histories of the Viking Age The final chapter focuses on the end of Norse settlement in Greenland, begun by Eric the Red around 985 AD. Herjolfsnes, one of the last settlements, preserved the clothes and bodies of the final generations in its graveyard, dating into the early fifteenth century. The garments were patched, coarse woolen pieces reflecting the declining status and isolation caused partly by climate change. One woman's dress tore when she was buried—a poignant detail. The Norse interacted with the Inuit, who may have carved figures depicting Norse dress. The final reports include a man burned for seducing a married woman through witchcraft in 1407 and a wedding in 1408. The ultimate fate of the last few inhabitants remains an unsolved mystery. 1949

This week, Andy Zaltzman is joined by Hari Kondabolu and Alice Fraser for another round of global absurdity and barely contained disbelief.

Some scientific discoveries take place in a lab. Others are made deep in the rainforest, along the ocean floor or on the dark side of the moon. And still others are made squelching through mud and ice on the northernmost island on Earth… at least, if you're NPR climate correspondent Alejandra Borunda. Two summers ago, Alejandra followed an expedition of scientists to Greenland's Inuit Qeqertaat, or Kaffeeklubben (“Coffee Club”) Island. The researchers with her were aiming to find what plants grew at the farthest north point of the island. Along the way, she had an adventure … and witnessed the good, the bad and the muddy realities of scientific expeditions.Interested in more exploratory science?

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover violent new attacks on ICE agents in Chicago and Portland, Trump's plan to federalize National Guard units, the shutdown of apps used to track ICE officers, a cash offer to illegal immigrants, a shocking Virginia political scandal, and global updates from Greenland to Ukraine, the UK, Gaza, and Africa. Quick hits to launch your week with the facts shaping America and the world.   Violent Weekend on the Immigration Front: Radical activists in Chicago used phone apps to track ICE agents, boxed them in with ten cars, and rammed a federal vehicle. When the lead agitator, Marimar Martínez, brandished a gun, ICE agents fired back, lightly injuring her. Chicago police refused to assist, with supervisors citing sanctuary city laws. Trump responded by federalizing 300 Illinois National Guardsmen, saying, “If the governor won't protect federal officers, I will.”   Portland Judge Blocks Federal Guard Deployment: After months of violence and arson targeting federal buildings, Oregon's Judge Karin Immergut refused to let Trump deploy 200 Oregon Guardsmen. The White House will instead send California troops. City council member Angelita Morillo, an admitted Marxist, has been helping activists buy burner phones to coordinate attacks.   Apple and Google Drop Anti-ICE Apps: Following a Trump DOJ order, Apple and Google removed apps used to crowdsource ICE agent locations. Developers and activists called the move authoritarian, but DHS pointed to the weekend's attempted murder of ICE officers as proof the apps “facilitate organized violence, not free speech.”   Trump Expands “Pay to Leave” Immigration Program: Migrants aged 14 to 17 who entered illegally will now be offered $2,500 and a plane ticket home. Critics say the policy “coerces” children, but Trump argues it's cheaper and safer than detaining or deporting them. Reuters reports Guatemalan parents still refuse to take their kids back, preferring they keep working in the U.S.   Virginia Democrat Calls for Murder of GOP Speaker and Children: Attorney General candidate Jay Jones faces backlash for texting that Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his two young children “should be shot.” Fellow Democrat Abigail Spanberger defended him, saying, “Let those without sin cast the first stone.” Bryan warns, “The Left is openly dehumanizing children now — what happens when words become policy?”   Greenland's Rare Earth Deal with the U.S.: The Trump administration is negotiating an investment partnership with Greenland's Critical Metals Corp to secure rare earth minerals and limit Chinese control. Bryan calls it “the front line of America's Mineral Wars.”   China Feeding Intel to Russia in Ukraine: Beijing is providing targeting data that includes U.S.-owned facilities, dragging out the conflict to drain American stockpiles.   UK Scandal Over Chinese Spies: British PM Keir Starmer quashed espionage charges against two Chinese-linked researchers by refusing to label China an “enemy.” Bryan warns it's time to “pull the plug on Five Eyes intel sharing” until the UK gets serious about national security.   Trump's Gaza Peace Plan and Netanyahu's Pressure: Envoy Steve Witcoff and Jared Kushner head to Cairo to finalize a deal requiring Hamas to disarm or face “complete obliteration.” Netanyahu faces backlash from his coalition, which could collapse if Hamas keeps any political power.   Nigeria's Christian Genocide Expands: Islamist militants from Boko Haram and ISIS killed hundreds in northern Nigeria, driving thousands into Cameroon. Bryan warns Biden's CIA may be indirectly aiding jihadists to attack Russian and Chinese targets.   Medical News — Parkinson's and Back Pain Relief: South Korean researchers linked tooth bacteria to Parkinson's risk, while a German cannabis extract eased chronic back pain. Bryan reminds listeners, “Keep brushing and walking — the mind and body are more connected than we realize.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Chicago ICE attack Marimar Martínez, Trump federalizes Illinois National Guard, Chicago police sanctuary policy, Portland Judge Karin Immergut National Guard, Angelita Morillo Marxist burner phones, Apple Google anti-ICE apps removed, Trump migrant cash offer $2,500, Jay Jones Virginia AG murder text, Abigail Spanberger rage fuel comments, Greenland rare earth minerals Critical Metals Corp, China intel to Russia Ukraine war, Keir Starmer Chinese spies case UK, Trump Gaza peace plan Hamas disarmament, Nigeria Christian genocide Boko Haram ISIS, Parkinson's oral bacteria South Korea, German cannabis chronic back pain

HEADLINE: Defining Vikings and Early Expansion BOOK TITLE: American Vikings: How the Norse Sailed into the Lands and Imaginations of America AUTHOR: Martyn Whittock 100 WORD SUMMARY: The book discusses the Norse expansion ("Viking" being an activity, not a societal label) that began sweeping across Europe and the British Isles in the late 8th century. Key drivers of this extraordinary diaspora included population growth, pushback against the Christian Frankish Empire, and, most notably, the disruption of the Islamic silver trade from Baghdad, which funded Scandinavia's gift-giving economy. This silver shortage forced the Norse to raid monasteries and coastal settlements for precious metals. The westward movement extended to the British Isles, Iceland (settled 870s), and eventually Greenland (10th century) as the Norse continued their exploration.

The final ending discussed is the slow demise of the Norsesettlement in Greenland, settled by Erik the Red around 985 AD. Herjolfsnes, one of the last settled places, provides poignant evidence from its graveyard. Due to permafrost, the coarse, mended woolen clothes (vaðmál) of the last generations, dating up to the early 15th century, were preserved. These garments reveal the increasing isolation and poverty of the inhabitants as climate conditions worsened. The ultimate mystery remains what happened to the very last people after the final burials. The final surviving reports from Greenland via Iceland are a 1407 witch burning (of a man seduced by witchcraft) and a 1408 wedding.

HEADLINE: Erikson, Sagas, and Vinland Location BOOK TITLE: American Vikings: How the Norse Sailed into the Lands and Imaginations of America AUTHOR: Martyn Whittock 100 WORD SUMMARY: The source focuses on the westward journey from Greenland, established by Erik the Red, to lands sighted by storm-driven sailors. His son, Leif Erikson, led expeditions around 1000 AD to Helluland (Baffin Island) and Markland (Labrador). This history is recorded in the Saga of Erik the Red (13th century) and the Saga of the Greenlanders (14th century). They reached a land they called Vinland, described as having wild grapes and wheat, suggesting a mild climate and abundant timber. The small population in Greenland ultimately hindered sustained settlement. Based on where wild grapes (like the fox grape) and wheat grow, Vinland must have been located significantly further south than Newfoundland, possibly reaching New Brunswick or New England.
