Esta semana dedicamos nuestra sección "León, hacia rutas salvajes" al mundo de la cetrería y, muy particularmente, a una de las aves rapaces más icónicas: el halcón peregrino. De la mano de nuestro biólogo de cabecera, Manu González, y de su colega y experto cetrero Miguel Vélez exploramos la presencia en León de esta fascinante especie animal, una de las más veloces del planeta.

With tensions running high in the Middle East, President Trump on Friday said Iranian leaders had not yet reached a deal with the US to end the ongoing war. President Trump has insisted that he's in no rush to make a deal, and that he doesn't care about how the ongoing war could impact the midterms. At the same time, fighting between Israel and Hezbollah is showing little sign of slowing down, despite attempts by the Trump administration to broker a cease-fire between the two.  These conflicts have sounded the alarm in Europe, especially in countries like Cyprus, where dealing with the fallout from these crises has become a key part of the national debate. This was the climate that Cyprus recently held parliamentary elections in, elections that saw anti-establishment parties gain ground. These elections can be seen as a benchmark of trends ahead of the upcoming 2028 presidential election. Meanwhile, a major tourist development project in Albania, with links to Jared Kushner, has become the focus of protests and political controversy that is even pulling Greece into the story. Local residents, including many ethnic Greeks living in the area, have expressed concerns about the project, with issues ranging from transparency and environmental concerns to long running disputes over property rights. Aaron David Miller, Nektaria Stamouli, and Yannis Papadopoulos join Thanos Davelis to explore the wider ramifications of the ongoing war with Iran and the fragile ceasefire in Lebanon, look at the latest parliamentary elections in Cyprus, and turn our attention to an evolving story in Albania, where a planned billion dollar tourist project is at the heart of controversy and protests that has had a spillover effect into Greek-Albanian relations. Taking us to our “I am HALC” segment, we're highlighting one of HALC's earliest members and a member of its first flagship Leadership 2030 team in Chicago, Peter Kourkouvis. An attorney making a name for himself in real estate law, he's also playing an integral role in putting Greek culture - from the arts to music - in the spotlight in Chicago, setting up major tribute concerts dedicated to Rebetiko music, Mikis Theodorakis, and Manos Hatzidakis. A little more info on our guests: Aaron David Miller is a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and expert on the Middle East. Nektaria Stamouli is the deputy editor in chief of Kathimerini's English Edition and Politico's Eastern Mediterranean correspondent. Yannis Papadopoulos is a journalist with Kathimerini.

On May 21st a Turkish court took the unprecedented step of removing the CHP's elected leadership, led by Ozgur Ozel, the latest sign of Turkish President Erdogan's tightening grip on the country. It's also a sign that Erdogan intends to run for another term as president, and with Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu in prison, this move can only mean one thing: Erdogan does not intend to leave the result of a future election up to chance. The opposition has vowed it will fight back, but the broader question is whether this is the last nail in the coffin for Turkey's democracy. Can it recover, and if so, is this a fight it will have to undertake on its own? President Donald Trump's praise of Erdogan as a “tough guy” who has “done a very good job”, and the EU's wider focus on the transatlantic relationship and Ukraine, have many doubting if the West will bring any pressure down on Ankara. At the same time, another story is brewing in north Africa, where Turkey is looking to expand its influence in Libya. Recent reports are indicating a new Turkish push to engage with Benghazi, while we've also seen headlines hinting at US-Turkish coordination in Libya and a potential US effort to unify Libya. Greece is undoubtedly watching these developments closely, especially considering Turkey is likely to press Benghazi to support its illegal 2019 maritime agreement with Tripoli. Ayla Jean Yackley, Henri Barkey, Ambassador Marc Pierini, and Aya Burweila join Thanos Davelis as we break down the latest crackdown on Turkey's opposition and its wider ramifications, while looking into what Turkey is up to in Libya. A little more info on our guests: Ayla Jean Yackley is an Istanbul-based journalist covering Turkey with stories in The Financial Times, Politico, and other major outlets. Henri Barkey is an adjunct senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and the Cohen chair in international relations at Lehigh University (Emeritus).

Greek politics is shaking up, as it seems the shift into campaigning is kicking into a higher gear. A major shakeup is underway within Greece's opposition, as this week saw Maria Karystianou, the popular former president of the Tempe victims' relatives' association, announce she is stepping into the fray with a new party. In the coming days we're also expected to see a similar announcement from former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras as he looks to establish himself as the candidate that can unite the left and challenge New Democracy. At the same time, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis made his case for a third term this past weekend at the New Democracy congress in a speech that dismissed early elections while effectively putting the party into pre-campaign mode. One of the most repeated lines of the congress was that ND is “more united than ever”, but the absence of former Prime Ministers Kostas Karamanlis and Antonis Samaras, and persistent rumours of a new party by the latter, have raised questions about how unified the party is. In the meantime, one of the top issues all parties will need to find answers to is the cost of living crisis and inflation. A recent report in Macropolis.gr outlined just how dramatically inflation has affected Greek households, with consumer prices increasing by 22.6% between January 2020 and December 2025. While cost of living is likely to dominate debates in the coming months, a number of issues on the foreign policy front are also likely to take center stage, including Turkey's new “Blue Homeland” legislation, Greece's support for Ukraine, the crisis in the Middle East, and relations with the US. Tom Ellis, Nick Malkoutzis, Yiannis Mouzakis, and John Psaropoulos join Thanos Davelis as we take a closer look at all of these stories and break down everything you need to know as Greece inches toward elections. A little more info on our guests: Tom Ellis is the editor in chief of Kathimerini's English Edition. Nick Malkoutzis is the co-founder of Macropolis.gr. Yiannis Mouzakis is the co-founder of Macropolis.gr. John Psaropoulos is an independent journalist, Al Jazeera's correspondent in southeast Europe, and publisher of Hellenica on Substack.

Turkey is once again raising tensions in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean, this time putting countries in the region on alert as it prepares a “Blue Homeland” piece of legislation that would essentially enshrine Ankara's maritime claims into domestic law. The move has Athens on alert, and the question everyone is wondering is whether Turkey is now turning its back on maintaining calm in the region - something that was agreed in Athens a few years ago. Beyond the Aegean and its maritime claims, Turkey is also looking to flex its muscles on the commercial side. This proposed bill comes as Ankara has been looking to send a message that it intends to have the final say on projects being developed in the region. We've seen this in Turkey's interference with projects like the Great Sea Interconnector, while Ankara is now positioning itself as a direct rival to the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), a project backed by the US and the EU. While tensions simmer in the Aegean and the East Med, another story has been developing in the Ionian Sea, on the other side of Greece, where a suspected Ukrainian naval drone was discovered off the island of Lefkada. The news dominated headlines in Greece, and is raising concerns about the war in Ukraine spreading to the Mediterranean. Kostas Ifantis, Ryan Gingeras, Endy Zemenides, Sinan Ciddi, and Vassilis Nedos join Thanos Davelis this week as we explore what's at stake in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean should Turkey move forward with its provocative “Blue Homeland” legislation, and what the discovery of a Ukrainian naval drone in Greek waters means for Greece and the region. A little more info on our guests: Kostas Ifantis is a Professor of International Relations at Panteion University of Athens who has previously served as Director for Research at the Policy Planning Center of the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Ryan Gingeras is a professor in the Department of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School and an expert on Turkish, Balkan, and Middle East history.

Viva la radio as usualsaludos cordiales,the galgo.

President Donald Trump's recent announcement that the US would pull five thousand troops from Germany took allies by surprise. The latest comments, which came in the wake of European criticism of the Iran war, were followed by a threat to impose a 25 percent tariff on automobiles and auto parts from Europe, as the US President claimed on social media that Europe was not living up to its end of a trade agreement struck last summer.  The two moves have experts and analysts wondering if this will further weaken the credibility of US deterrence in Europe, while at the same time bracing for the prospect of a renewed transatlantic trade war. Keeping one eye on the simmering tensions between the White House and the EU, we're also turning our attention this week to a report that has gone viral recently. For those following international politics on platforms like X - formerly Twitter - they're sure to have come across a page called “Clash Report”, which was also quick to post about the latest developments in the transatlantic relationship. What most people don't know, however, is that Clash Report is the English-language arm of a Turkish media operation with close ties to the Erdogan family. These connections were unmasked this past weekend. Thanos Davelis dig into all of these developments with Max Bergmann, Maria Demertzis, and Eitan Fischberger as we break down what message the withdrawal of US troops from Europe sends, whether we should prepare for another US-EU trade war, and look at who is behind Clash Report and why it matters.  Moving to our I am HALC segment, we're putting the spotlight on one of HALC's earliest members, Stathis Theodoropoulos. Stathis is a successful entrepreneur and owner of Firefly Lighting, but beyond this entrepreneurial side, Stathis is also a dedicated advocate for his local community. Aside from his commitment to Hellenic causes, he serves as a councilman in Kearny, New Jersey, where he's at the frontlines of making sure local government works for the communities it's designed to serve.  A little more info on our guests: Max Bergmann is the director of the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program and the Stuart Center in Euro-Atlantic and Northern European Studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Maria Demertzis, a Professor of Economic Policy at the European University Institute. Eitan Fischberger is a journalist and Open Source Intelligence Investigator.

Last week Cyprus was at the heart of EU developments. For two days it hosted leaders from the EU, from the Middle East, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Topics ranged from critical security issues and the war in Iran, to Europe's engagement with the broader Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. On the security front, Cyprus is keen to make the EU's Article 42.7, a mutual defense clause similar to NATO's Article 5, work in practice. There is a new sense of urgency around this issue after Cyprus was targeted by drones amid the fallout of the Iran war, and as a result of questions about Washington's commitments to NATO and European security. Konstantinos Letymbiotis, Ian Lesser, and Alexis Papachelas join Thanos Davelis this week as we break down the key takeaways from the EU leaders summit in Cyprus, including the debate around Article 42.7. In addition, we discuss French President Emanuel Macron's visit to Cyprus and Greece, a visit that raised important questions about Europe's future and its geopolitical role.  Taking us to our I am HALC segment, we're highlighting Judge Tom Sianis, a longtime member of HALC with a lifetime commitment to public service and justice. Elected to serve as a Cook County Circuit Court Judge in 2018, Judge Sianis is currently Presiding Judge of the First Municipal District. Throughout his career Tom has been a shining example of Hellenism in public service, from when his career took off at the Cook County State's Attorney's Office to his election to the bench.

Over the past weeks those watching the Eastern Mediterranean can't help but notice that tensions are heating up between Turkey and Israel as Erdogan's escalatory posture has some wondering what the wider risks are should this current war of words take on new dimensions. Questions range from what this will mean for US efforts to manage an already tense Middle East, to how this will impact Greece, which has developed close ties with Israel over the past decade and a half? Deciding that he needed to chime in, we heard some headscratching remarks from US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, where he dismissed these tensions as “rhetoric”, and added that “Turkey is not a country to be messed with.” These comments drew the criticism of many, including The Wall Street Journal, which accused Ambassador Barrack of undermining US policy and interests. Sinan Ciddi, Henri Barkey, and Vassilis Nedos join Thanos Davelis as we look into this escalating war of words in the Eastern Mediterranean between Turkey and Israel, break down how US Ambassador Tom Barrack is effectively pursuing his own Middle East policy that's undermining US interests, and discuss the wider impact of these developments for Greece.  This week we're also putting the spotlight on a founding member of HALC, Bill Matsikoudis, in our latest “I am HALC” segment. A successful attorney and founding partner of Matsikoudis & Fanciullo, Bill's career has also seen him work in the Administration of New Jersey Governor James E. McGreevey, for Jersey City where he made headlines suing Fortune 500 companies guilty of polluting, and on Governor Mikie Sherrill's transition team for housing.

All of Europe's eyes were on Hungary this past weekend, where voters, in a historic election, brought Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's 16 years in power to an end.  Orban's close relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and his blocking of multiple EU initiatives - including an urgently needed €90 billion loan for Ukraine - had frustrated many across Europe. At the same time, he presided over a system that saw his party gradually gain control of much of the judiciary, bureaucracy, media, universities, and the economy, which sounded alarms for those concerned about democratic backsliding.  Beyond Europe, this result was also on the White House's radar, and Vice President J.D. Vance even traveled to Hungary to campaign for Orban - the European leader with the closest ties to President Trump. Orban's sweeping defeat raises new questions for European far right populist parties, and its leaders are beginning to question the value of their ties to the MAGA movement. Since our focus is on elections this episode, Greece, which is scheduled to hold national elections in 2027 is also gradually shifting into campaign mode. As parties jostle for a larger share of the electorate, the government looks to be bracing for a number of post-Easter challenges that include rising prices and the ongoing and evolving farm subsidies case. Steven Erlanger, Simon Nixon, Jennifer McCoy, and Nick Malkoutzis join Thanos Davelis as we look at Hungary's landmark election, breaking down what it means for Europe and for the war in Ukraine, the message it sends to those concerned about democratic backsliding in the West, and what takeaways there are for Greece as the country inches toward national elections next year. A little more info on our guests: Steven Erlanger is the chief diplomatic correspondent for The New York Times covering Europe. Simon Nixon is an independent journalist, Kathimerini columnist, and the publisher of the Wealth of Nations newsletter. Dr. Jennifer McCoy is a Nonresident Scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Recently we marked 77 years since the NATO alliance was founded. Instead of celebrating this milestone, however, President Trump's comments slamming NATO over its reluctance to help the US secure the Straits of Hormuz, including calling the alliance a “paper tiger” and saying NATO allies were “tested” and they “failed”, have left allies wondering if the future of the alliance is in doubt. Given President Trump's statements, could a US withdrawal from NATO be in the cards, and what would it mean for the US and for allied countries like Greece?  James Lindsay and Ino Afentouli join Thanos Davelis as we break down why NATO matters in a world of increasing great power rivalry, what's at stake for the US, and why it's critical for Greece, Southeastern Europe, and the Eastern Mediterranean. This week we're also digging into Greek history as Greece recently commemorated the 200th anniversary of the heroic exodus of the Greeks from the besieged city of Messolonghi during the Greek Revolution. We break down this story with Professor Alexander Kitroeff who explains why it was a pivotal moment for the Greek Revolution, how it galvanized philhellenes around the world, and why this story still resonates today. Taking us to our “I am HALC” segment, we're highlighting one of HALC's earliest members, Harry Koulos. A distinguished attorney, Harry has been named one of Best Lawyers' Ones to Watch since 2024. He honed his skills as a clerk in Federal court and at one of the biggest law firms in the US, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, before taking his expertise to Kibler Fowler & Cave, where he currently practices. A distinguished leader, Harry's passion for the law is equal to his passion for his Hellenic identity and the community.

This past weekend, with Easter celebrations around the corner, Christians in Syria were once again the target of attacks that have rocked their dwindling community. This was the latest in a string of attacks since the fall of the Assad regime that have targeted members of the country's Alawite, Druze and Christian communities, and many minorities - indigenous to the region - are asking if there is space for them in the Syria that's emerging under President al-Sharaa.  This attack also sounded alarms in Athens, and Greece is working to ensure that the protection of Christian populations in the Middle East remains on the international agenda. Aside from Syria, Greece is also concerned about Lebanon, where thousands of Christians have departed in recent years, and has raised the issue of access to the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem during Easter, which made international headlines recently. These are all issues highlighted in the US Commission on International Religious Freedom's (USCIRF) 2026 report, which also focuses on the troubling religious freedom conditions in another country in the region, Turkey. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, USCIRF is once again reiterating that the US place Turkey on its Special Watch List. Vicky Hartzler, Nadine Maenza, Vassilis Nedos, and Alexia Kalaitzi join Thanos Davelis this week as we look into USCIRF's 2026 report and Turkey's problematic record on religious freedom, the plight of Christians in Syria in the wake of another attack on this vulnerable community, and how Greece is working to ensure that the protection of Christian populations in the Middle East remains on the agenda. Taking us to our “I am HALC” segment, this week we're putting the spotlight on Dean Alonistiotis, a long-time member of HALC with a strong commitment to public service and his Chicago community. Dean's work has taken him from the city of Chicago, where he served as Director of Economic Development for the City Treasurer's Office, to his current position as Chief of Staff for Illinois State Representative Kim du Buclet.

Over the past weeks, Greece, like the rest of the world, has one eye on the ongoing war with Iran and is looking to see what this ongoing crisis, which continues to shake markets, will mean for the global economy. For Greece, these concerns include rising prices, the country's dependence on imported gas and oil, and the possible impact this could have on the tourism sector as a prolonged crisis could affect  the upcoming summer season.  This has prompted Prime Minister Mitsotakis to announce a package of support measures early this week that seeks to address many of these concerns, especially the rising cost of fuel. Nikos Vettas, John Psaropoulos, and Yiannis Tsakalos join Thanos Davelis as we take a closer look at how the ongoing crisis in the Middle East is impacting Greece's overall economic outlook, what steps the government is taking in response to this crisis, and what this could mean for Greece's tourism sector as tourists factor wider global uncertainty into their travel plans. Taking us to our “I am HALC” segment, this week we're putting the spotlight on Jonathan Vasdekas. Jon walked through HALC's doors in 2013, and since then has distinguished himself not only as a leader in the Greek-American community, where he was part of HALC's original class of Leadership 2030 fellows, but as a recognized leader in the energy sector.

With the war in Iran dragging on, its ripple effects are being felt around the world. Beyond the clear questions around regional security, stretching from the Middle East to Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean, we are also in the midst of what could be an unprecedented and escalating global energy crisis as strikes on international shipping in the strait of Hormuz, which is critical to the oil and gas industry, have essentially shut this vital chokepoint. The war is also testing transatlantic unity, as President Trump warned in a recent interview with the Financial Times that “it will be very bad for the future of NATO” if European nations do not join the US in reopening the strait of Hormuz. So far, the message from European leaders is that this isn't Europe's war. Despite this message, developments in the Middle East impact Europe, and the case of Cyprus is not only raising questions in Brussels about the EU's ability to defend its own members, but in Washington as well, where the recent targeting of Cyprus is renewing efforts to permanently end the Cyprus arms embargo. Ian Lesser, Zissis Marmarelis, Damian Murphy, and Endy Zemenides join Thanos Davelis this week as we look into Trump's calls for Europe to join the US in the Straits of Hormuz, the unfolding global energy crisis and what it means for Greece, and why now is the time to end the Cyprus arms embargo. Taking us to our “I am HALC” segment, we're highlighting Lexy Prodromos, an emerging leader in the Greek-American community, where she is part of HALC's class of Leadership 2030 fellows, and a recognized leader when it comes to blockchain technology who is now making waves both in the US and internationally as COO at the Prodromos Stem Cell Institute.

Golpe de estado en Crimea La anexión de Crimea en 2014, la mayor y más descarada apropiación de territorio en Europa desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial, sacudió los cimientos sobre los que se había construido la paz en la región. Yemen, Gran Bretaña y los Sauditas Cuando en marzo de 2019 la prensa británica se hizo eco de la muerte de soldados del Servicio Especial de Embarcaciones del Reino Unido en Yemen, la primera pregunta fue: ¿por qué estaban allí si Gran Bretaña no se había involucrado en ninguna guerra en el país árabe? Este episodio investiga la verdad detrás de las bajas. ¿Qué contribuciones secretas están haciendo actores internacionales como EE Piratas somalíes y la caída del Halcón Negro El 3 de octubre de 1993, la unidad de combate más selecta del Ejército estadounidense inició una misión en principio bastante sencilla en la capital de Somalia, Mogadiscio. A los pocos minutos de llegar al destino, la situación se volvió caótica y una operación de 90 minutos se convirtió en una batalla de 15 horas. A raíz de las complicaciones, el presidente Clinton ordenó retirar de inmediato tod

This week kicked off with Turkey announcing the deployment of a number of fighter jets to the occupied part of Cyprus, a move that not only represents a significant escalation in the militarization of the Eastern Mediterranean, where Cyprus has already been targeted by Iranian-made drones, but that may also violate US law. This isn't the only thing putting Cyprus in the headlines this week. Axios and the Financial Times reported Cyprus could potentially mediate talks between Israel and Lebanon after violence broke out between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group. Turkey's moves in the Eastern Mediterranean aren't the only thing worrying analysts and observers. Developments on the domestic front are also keeping those watching the region on alert, as the trial of Ekrem Imamoglu, the imprisoned mayor of Istanbul, kicked off this week. Imamoglu's trial is largely seen as politically motivated and an effort to prevent him from challenging President Erdogan. Sinan Ciddi, Elisa Ewers, Lisel Hintz, and Henri Barkey join Thanos Davelis this week as we take a closer look at Turkey's decision to deploy fighter jets to the occupied part of Cyprus, Israel's escalating offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and the trial of Ekrem Imamoglu. Taking us to our “I am HALC” segment, we're spotlighting Eleni Delimpaltadaki Janis, a founding member of HALC with a career that spans across government and the private sector. This includes serving as Vice President at the New York City Economic Development Corporation, and working to transform and solve some of the world's most persistent socio-economic problems as a founder of Equivico. Stay tuned as we dig into her story. A little more info on our guests: Sinan Ciddi is a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and director of its Turkey program.

Given the incredible feedback we've gotten for our "I am HALC" profiles, we will re-release each feature as an individual episode so that you can easily find them and share them. Today, we're kicking off with our first “I am HALC” profile from January 15th, 2026, where we put the spotlight on Dr. George Chiampas, someone who is not just a national, but a global leader in emergency and sports medicine - whether it's with US soccer, the Blackhawks, the Chicago Bears, the Chicago Marathon, and now the MLS - and is at the core of the work HALC does.

This week marked 4 years since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the start of a war that served as a wakeup call for Europe and the West. Since then, we've seen Europe take drastic steps to cut its ties to Russian gas, redrawing the region's energy map. Greece has played, and continues to play, a key role in this story. At the same time, questions remain about European security, the continued Russian threat, and whether the Trump administration can deliver a negotiated peace. Finally, the war in Ukraine also brought the world's attention to a murkier side of the Kremlin's playbook, and that's the weaponization of the Orthodox Church and its campaign to undermine the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt, Charles Kupchan, Elena Lazarou, and Aristotle Papanikolaou join Thanos Davelis this week for a deep dive into how Russia's invasion of Ukraine four years ago has changed Europe, reshaped the region's energy map, and impacted the Ecumenical Patriarchate and Orthodoxy around the world. Taking us to our “I am HALC” segment, we're putting the spotlight on Andreas Akaras, looking at his time on Capitol Hill and his work bringing Turkey to justice over the attack by Turkish President Erdogan's bodyguards against US protesters in Washington, DC. A little more info on our guests: Charles Kupchan is a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and professor of international affairs at Georgetown University in the Walsh School of Foreign Service and Department of Government.

Over the past weeks we've seen some major developments in the region, with Greece stepping into the limelight. These include Greece's announcement that it will send a special battalion to participate in the International Stabilization Force in Gaza, its decision to join the Board of Peace as an observer, and a key briefing hosted by the Eastern Mediterranean Knesset Caucus bringing together legislators and experts from Greece, Cyprus, Israel, and the US. At the same time, we've also seen Greece's defense ties with Israel come under the spotlight as Athens looks to grow its own defense industrial base. Tom Ellis, John Psaropoulos, Gregg Roman, and Endy Zemenides join Thanos Davelis this week as we dig into Greece's decision to be part of the Gaza Stabilization Force and the Board of Peace, deepening Greek-Israeli defense ties, and the challenges and opportunities for the 3+1 partnership between Greece, Cyprus, Israel, and the US. Taking us to our “I am HALC” segment, we're taking a look at one of HALC's emerging leaders and Leadership 2030 fellows, Alexis Nash, exploring how advocacy - on Hellenic issues and in her professional life - has become a key part of her story.  A little more info on our guests: Tom Ellis is the editor in chief of Kathimerini's English Edition.

About a year into President Trump's second term, it seems he is on a mission to rewrite the rules of trade, one deal at a time. His Liberation Day tariffs last year rattled markets, and his insistence on using them as a tool to pressure both adversaries and allies has left many - especially in Europe - in disbelief and wondering what's next. Experts Edward Fishman, Maria Demertzis, Yiannis Mouzakis and Nick Malkoutzis join Thanos Davelis this week to take a closer look at this new age of economic warfare, and break down what it means for America's global standing, how it's spurring Europe into action, and what impact all of this could have on Greece.Taking us to our “I am HALC” segment, we're putting the spotlight on HALC's Bill Thanoukos, who is launching a campaign for alderman of Chicago's 1st Ward, and looking to continue a long tradition of Hellenes committing themselves to public service.A little more info on our guests:Edward Fishman is a Senior Fellow and Director of the Greenberg Center for Geoeconomic Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, and is the author of the New York Times bestseller Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare.Maria Demertzis is a Professor of Economic Policy at the European University Institute and leader of the Economy, Strategy, and Finance Center at the Conference Board Europe.Yiannis Mouzakis and Nick Malkoutzis are the founders of Macropolis.gr, a political and economic analysis site that focuses on Greece.You can support The Greek Current by joining HALC as a member here.

Greece and Cyprus took center stage this week in Washington, DC, as HALC, the Delphi Economic Forum, and Kathimerini's english edition once again brought top officials and leading experts together to highlight the important role both countries are playing in the Eastern Mediterranean, and the major opportunities - and challenges - ahead for Greece, Cyprus and the US. A few of the headline attendees included Cypriot Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos and Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias, who engaged with leading think tanks, members of Congress, and US officials.Lena Argiri, Nik Nanos, and Vassilis Nedos join Thanos Davelis this week as we give you an inside look at what took place in DC, break down what the Greek brand is today and how to strengthen it, and shift to the Aegean where we explore how the 30 year anniversary of the Imia crisis still impacts Greek-Turkish relations.Taking us to our “I am HALC” segment, we're putting the spotlight on Dimitri Eliopoulos, the CEO of Curi Capital and a national leader in finance and wealth management.You can support The Greek Current by joining HALC as a member here.

LORENZO RAMÍREZ: El amaño en el oro, el imperio de la mentira de EEUU y el halcón de la FEDEl periodista económico Lorenzo Ramírez analiza en profundidad la sangría vivida en los metales preciosos desde el viernes y sostiene que no se trata de una corrección natural del mercado, sino de una intervención coordinada para hundir los precios del oro y la plata. Explica cómo los grandes bancos de inversión, muy expuestos con posiciones cortas en mercados de futuros altamente apalancados, habrían forzado una caída abrupta aprovechando la baja liquidez y el aumento de márgenes de garantía en Chicago y Londres, evitando así un riesgo sistémico en sus balances.En la entrevista se aborda también el concepto de “rescate encubierto”, la transferencia de pérdidas desde pequeños ahorradores y fondos apalancados hacia las grandes instituciones financieras, y la manipulación estructural de los mercados de metales preciosos. Ramírez conecta estos hechos con la pérdida de confianza en el sistema financiero y monetario actual.Ramírez entra de lleno en el escándalo Epstein, calificando la reciente desclasificación como interesada y parte de una guerra interna entre élites de poder. Analiza las redes financieras, políticas e institucionales vinculadas al caso, el uso del chantaje como herramienta de control y la manipulación informativa para confundir a la opinión pública.Finalmente, aborda la cuestión geopolítica clave: Irán. Explica por qué el Pentágono considera que Estados Unidos no puede ganar una guerra abierta contra Irán, los riesgos para las bases militares en el Golfo, el posible cierre del estrecho de Ormuz y por qué el mercado del petróleo descuenta, de momento, que no habrá una escalada bélica total.#lorenzoramirez #oro #eeuu #fed #kevinwarsh #pentagon #iran #epstein #plata #economia #geopolitica #entrevista #vizner #negociostv Si quieres entrar en la Academia de Negocios TV, este es el enlace:   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwd8Byi93KbnsYmCcKLExvQ/join Síguenos en directo ➡️ https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pSuscríbete a nuestro canal: https://bit.ly/3jsMzp2Suscríbete a nuestro segundo canal, másnegocios: https://n9.cl/4dca4Visita Negocios TV https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pMás vídeos de Negocios TV: https://youtube.com/@NegociosTVSíguenos en Telegram: https://t.me/negociostvSíguenos en Instagram: https://bit.ly/3oytWndTwitter: https://bit.ly/3jz6LptFacebook: https://bit.ly/3e3kIuy

Since its announcement, President Trump's “Board of Peace” has made a number of headlines, and many in the region are asking if it can live up to its name, especially when it comes to the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. As the President talks peace, he's also raising the temperature with Iran, with a US aircraft carrier and warships approaching the region. More alarming however, is what seems to be an abandonment of Syria's Kurds and the message it sends not just to America's partners and allies, but to minorities in the region.Thanos Davelis is joined by experts Aaron David Miller, Nadine Maenza, Sinan Ciddi, and Michael Rubin as we try to make sense of what's going on in a region of particular importance to Greece and Cyprus. Taking us to our “I am HALC” segment, this week we are dedicating it to the life and legacy of a giant in the Greek-American community, John Marks, who passed away this month. He was a man who not only poured himself into Greek causes, but helped build the community that we all cherish.You can support The Greek Current by joining HALC as member here.

Defense, security, peace, and alliances are top of mind these days. This is clear in Greece, where we saw Athens take a major step - one that Prime Minister Mitsotakis called historic - toward upgrading its defense capabilities as it welcomed its latest top of the line frigate. The move, however, comes as we see issues over Greenland raise new questions about European security and America's commitment to the transatlantic relationship. This week, Thanos Davelis digs into what this means for Greece with Kathimerini's Tom Ellis, ELIAMEP's Elena Lazarou, journalist John Psaropoulos, and HALC's Endy Zemenides. As we wrap up, pour yourself a glass as we'll be highlighting the rise of Greek wines and the important role one of HALC's very own - Ted Diamantis - has played in this story.

The Greek Current is shifting from a daily show to a weekly program, allowing us to bring you deeper analysis and more cutting edge insights on Greece, Cyprus, our diaspora community, and the wider region. We'll still bring you analysis from thought leaders on the breaking issues of the week, but will also introduce our very own “Meet the Press” roundtable featuring leading experts and journalists from around the world, and are introducing an “I am HALC” feature, where we put the spotlight on HALC members at the forefront of their fields.This week we're kicking off the year with a look ahead at 2026, featuring interviews with Kathimerini's Editor in Chief Alexis Papachelas and the Council on Foreign Relations' Steven Cook, analysis from Lena Argiri, Nektaria Stamouli, and Loukas Kozonis in our “Meet the Press” segment, and taking a closer look at someone who is not just a national, but a global leader in emergency and sports medicine - whether it's with US soccer, the Blackhawks, the Chicago Bears, or at the Chicago Marathon - and is at the core of the work HALC does: Dr. George Chiampas.An important note. As we move forward, access to our full episodes will be limited to paid HALC members and subscribers.

¡Hola, Foseros! Han pasado diez años desde aquella noche en la que las salas se llenaron como no lo hacían desde hacía décadas. Diez años desde que una sola frase —«Chewie, estamos en casa»— fue suficiente para devolvernos la sensación de haber regresado al lugar al que pertenecíamos. Hoy en La Fosa del Rancor miramos atrás sin filtros, sin nostalgia ciega y sin odio gratuito, para preguntarnos algo que sigue removiendo a todo el fandom: ¿cómo ha envejecido El Despertar de la Fuerza? ¿Fue realmente el renacer de Star Wars… o el inicio de una ilusión que se fue desmoronando con el paso del tiempo? Este no es un programa de análisis frío. Es un episodio de sensaciones, recuerdos, expectativas, teorías locas, decisiones creativas y heridas abiertas. Hablamos del hype previo al estreno, del impacto emocional del regreso de Han, Leia y el Halcón Milenario, de la presentación de Rey, Finn y Kylo Ren, y también de todo aquello que hoy chirría más que en 2015: su estructura heredada, Starkiller Base y los caminos narrativos que nunca llegaron a ningún sitio. Para hacerlo aún más especial, nos acompaña un viejo amigo de la casa David Santana Martell, actor de Star Wars (Stormtrooper en la trilogía de secuelas), conectado en directo desde Tokio, que nos ofrece una mirada única sobre cómo se vive desde dentro una película llamada a marcar una era… y una trilogía que terminó dividiendo al fandom como pocas veces se había visto. Reflexionamos sobre cómo Episodio VII condicionó toda la trilogía de secuelas, si realmente existía un plan, cómo se vivieron las reacciones de los fans y qué queda hoy de aquellas teorías que parecían destinadas a cambiarlo todo. Y, mirando al futuro, abordamos el miedo y la curiosidad ante la nueva trilogía anunciada, preguntándonos si Star Wars está preparada para continuar… o si los fans lo estamos. Diez años después, El Despertar de la Fuerza ya no es solo una película. Es un recuerdo compartido, un punto de inflexión y una cicatriz emocional. Puede que no fuera perfecta, pero durante un instante consiguió algo que parecía imposible: volver a unir a toda la galaxia y hacernos seguir soñando con galaxias lejanas. Han intervenido: Rocío Matesanz, la princesa guerrera. Ferrán LLoret, nuestro arqueólogo particular. Kiko, de @cineycomics (https://www.tiktok.com/@cineycomics). ️ Con Paco Villa y Josemi a los mandos de la nave fosera. David Santana Martell, invitado especial. Montado y editado por Paco Villa, con ese toque fosero entre lo épico y lo íntimo. Un podcast hecho por fans para fans.

What's Tom Barrack, the US Ambassador to Turkey, up to? That's a question that's emerged after a recent interview he gave to Kathimerini, where he talked about Washington's aspiration for a “new regional ordinance” and made head-scratching comments about Greek-Turkish relations and Cyprus. Henri Barkey and Endy Zemenides join Thanos Davelis as we look to tackle this question.Henri Barkey is an adjunct senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and the Cohen chair in international relations at Lehigh University.Endy Zemenides is Executive Director of HALC.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:The US ‘goal' is to serve as a ‘bridge' in Greek-Turkish tiesPM urges farmers to avoid roadblocks, pledges faster subsidy paymentsGreece to repay €5.29 billion early under first memorandum loans

Los halcones gerifaltes (Falco rusticolus) son aves circumpolares que anidan en las regiones más remotas del  norte de Asia, América del Norte y Europa, incluyendo Islandia y Groenlandia. Estas aves evolucionaron como una especie distinta durante el Pleistoceno, hace unos 100,000 años. Su gran tamaño y cálido plumaje les dieron una ventaja evolutiva para anidar en las alturas del Ártico. Los halcones gerifaltes reutilizan el mismo sitio de anidación año tras año, ¡y algunos nidos han estado en uso por 2,500 años!Listen to this episode in English here. Más información y transcripción en BirdNote.org.¿Quieres más BirdNote?

Halki Theological Seminary, shut by Turkey in 1971, is back in the headlines ahead of Pope Leo XIV's visit to Turkey. Journalists are reporting that there is a sense of optimism that Turkey will reopen the school. This attention on Halki follows a renewed focus on Orthodox Christianity that includes the Ecumenical Patriarch's visit to the White House, references to the Russian Orthodox Church in Trump's Ukraine peace plan, and questions about whether the Russians are running an influence operation in DC. Endy Zemenides, HALC's Executive Director, joins Thanos Davelis as we break all of this down.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Optimism ahead of pope's visit to Turkey for reopening of Istanbul's Greek Orthodox seminary‘We must strive for unity of the churches'White House to meet clergy with ties to pro-war Russian Orthodox ChurchAre the Russians Running an Influence Operation in Congress?Greek secondary school teachers to be trained in using AI in classroomTurkish delegation meets Ocalan for first time to discuss PKK disarmament

Endy Zemenides, HALC's Executive Director, is joined by Michael Rubin, Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, to break down reports that Israel is closing in on a security deal with Syria as a U.S. envoy meets with Prime Minister Netanyahu, and to analyze what this means for the region, from Turkey to broader U.S. strategy in the Middle East.You can read the article we discuss on our podcast here:Syria's Sharaa confirms 'advanced' talks with Israel on security deal; US envoy meets NetanyahuBirth rate decline a threat to universitiesGreece issues very high wildfire risk alert for Aegean islands and Crete

Over the last decade we've gotten used to Congress driving policy on the East Med, yet since President Trump's inauguration in January, all eyes have been on the executive. Endy Zemenides, HALC's executive Director, joins Thanos Davelis today to see how Congress - on the heels of passing Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill” - is stepping back into the spotlight, introducing key bills on Greece and Cyprus.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Bill proposes 5-year extension of Cyprus arms embargo waiverMeng, Bilirakis, Titus, And Malliotakis Introduce Legislation To Support The US-Hellenic RelationshipKimberly Guilfoyle receives nod as US ambassador to GreeceTripoli asserts claims against AthensUS lawmakers launch bipartisan effort to block Turkey's return to F-35 program 

There's a new bipartisan bill - the Eastern Mediterranean Gateway Act - that's once again putting the spotlight on Greece, Cyprus, Israel, and their potential roles in IMEC, a project increasingly seen as the answer to China's Belt and Road Initiative.

Late last week a bipartisan group of lawmakers in the House of Representatives introduced a piece of legislation that would redesignate Turkey as a Near Eastern country at the State Department, rather than a European country. The legislation followed a hearing in the House on Turkey, where serious concerns about Turkey's role as a US and NATO ally were expressed. Endy Zemenides, HALC's Executive Director, joins Thanos Davelis to break down why this legislation on Turkey matters, especially given Ankara's record that shows it is increasingly at odds with Western security interests.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Bipartisan legislation seeks to rein in Erdogan's Turkey over ties to US foesBridging the Gap: Turkey Between East and WestRubio says Syria must hold accountable 'perpetrators of massacres' Government seeks fresh start as social pressure mountsHigher European defense budgets a first step, production needed, NATO's Rutte saysSectarian Killings Along Syria's Coast Spiral Into Crisis for New GovernmentSyria's Interim President Calls for Unity Amid Fresh Fighting
