Țările care își doresc sisteme democrate sunt percepute periculoase de dictatorul mai ales dacă se află în vecinătatea apropiată a Rusiei. Dacă va câștiga războiul cu Ucraina, NATO și coaliția internațională, așa cum vede el confruntarea de forțe, „va avea grijă de Caucaz.” Va încerca să supună și dacă nu se supun, va ataca Armenia, Georgia și Kazahstanul. Iată avertismentul lui Ghenadi Gudkov, un politician rus, fost membru al FSB (Serviciul Federal de Securitate al Rusiei), care s-a opus regimului si trăiește acum în exil. „Fără rezistență, Georgia va deveni o provincie a Rusiei lui Putin,” este un titlu din radiotavisupleba.ge, Europa Liberă în limba georgiană, care a realizat un interviu cu Ghenadi Gudkov, un politician rus care s-a opus regimului, este considerat terorist de către ruși și trăiește în exil. Fost membru al FSB (Serviciul Federal de Securitate al Rusiei), apoi deputat în Duma de Stat, Ghenadi Gudkov  s-a opus deschis regimului lui Putin.Politicianul explică de ce consideră Visul Georgian, partidul aflat la putere în țară, drept aliat al Kremlinului, de ce crede că unitatea populară este factorul decisiv pentru viitorul Georgiei – și, în sfârșit, de ce crede că, dacă nimic nu se va schimba, Georgia va suferi aceeași soartă ca și Belarus.„Va fi un stat totalitar... modelul rusesc: tot ce s-a întâmplat în Rusia se va întâmpla și aici, dar într-un timp mult mai scurt”, spune Gudkov, politicianul care a rupt-o cu regimul de la Kremlin în „epoca de aur” a puterii Putin-Medvedev.Acesta consideră că dacă Putin rămâne la putere, mai devreme sau mai târziu va ataca Armenia, Kazahstanul și Georgia.„De ce ar trebui să atace, de exemplu, Georgia, dacă Visul georgian este la putere (și face tot posibilul să nu enerveze Kremlinul?” întreabă jurnaliștii de la Europa Liberă din Georgia.„Pentru că toate țările care au tendință spre democrație sunt periculoase pentru Putin, mai ales dacă se află în vecinătatea apropiată a Rusiei. Georgia este în prezent la o răscruce între trecut și viitor. Și vedem că Georgia începe să regreseze parțial, să revină la un regim autoritar. Dacă Putin rămâne la Kremlin, trebuie să înțelegem că nu se va opri: după victoria asupra Ucrainei, a NATO și a întregii coaliții occidentale - exact așa percepe el victoria în războiul ucrainean, va avea grijă imediat de Caucaz - Georgia, Armenia... Cum va încerca să facă asta? În primul rând, într-o manieră pașnică, cei de la putere trebuie să devină oamenii lui Putin care să-i îndeplinească instrucțiunile. (...) Dacă nu i se vor supune, vor fi presiuni, o lovitură de stat, o revoltă armată, tulburări - tot ce se află în arsenalul Kremlinului. Dacă nici asta nu funcționează, atunci va fi război. Ocupație directă,” avertizează Ghenadi Gudkov .Atacul de la Sumy – răul absolut„Răul absolut.” Ministerul de externe ucrainean a cerut liderilor lumii să răspundă ferm la lovitura cu rachete asupra orașului Sumy,  în duminica Floriilor, pe 13 aprilie, aflăm din Ziarul Grupului pentru Drepturile Omului din Harkov, khpg.org.Pe 13 aprilie, Rusia a lansat două lovituri cu rachete în centrul orașului Sumy, provocând moartea a cel puțin 34 de persoane, inclusiv 2 copii și rănirea a 119 oameni, dintre care 15 copii.  Cel mai mare număr de morți a fost în troleibuzul care trecea prin apropiere locului unde a căzut cea de a doua rachetă. Oamenii se întorceau acasă după slujba de Florii. Potrivit șefului administrației militare regionale Sumy, aproape toți pasagerii și șoferul au murit. „Rusia este condusă de ucigași”, a declarat ministrul de externe ceh, Jan Lipavský.Autoritățile ucrainene au deschis o anchetă pentru o nouă crimă de război comisă de Rusia.UE a prelungit politica de „transporturi fără viză” cu Ucraina până la 31 decembrie 2025Anunțul a făcut făcut de Comisia Europeană citată de thepage.ua.Acordul de transport rutier sau „transportul fără viză” între Ucraina și UE permite transportatorilor ucraineni și europeni să opereze fără autorizații speciale pentru transportul bilateral și de tranzit, ceea ce simplifică logistica și reduce birocrația.De la intrarea în vigoare a acestui regim în 2022, importurile către UE prin transport rutier din Ucraina au crescut cu 42% în volum și 28% în valoare, în timp ce exporturile UE către Ucraina au crescut cu 37% în volum și 50% în valoare.Datorită „transportului fără viză”, Ucraina exportă peste 200.000 de tone de mărfuri către UE, iar importurile sunt la același nivel.Primul Parlament moldovenesc a marcat acum 35 de ani începutul unui drum spre liberateRepublica Moldova a marcat recent aniversarea a 35 de ani de la constituirea primului Parlament, relatează stiri.md.„Primul Parlament a marcat începutul unui drum spre liberate, independență și democrație, a deschis ușa către o societate pluralistă, în care libertatea și drepturile omului sunt valori fundamentale,” a spus Maia Sandu.Șefa statului a declarat că primul Parlament „a avut curajul să spună lucrurilor pe nume, a readus tricolorul, a oficializat utilizarea limbii române, a votat Declarația de independență pe 27 august 1991.”„Avem o șansă istorică să ancorăm definitiv Moldova în lumea liberă, democratică și prosperă, prin integrarea în Uniunea Europeană. Dar pentru ca acest drum să reușească, trebuie să rămânem fideli valorilor care ne-au unit atunci – statul de drept, libertățile fundamentale și respectul față de instituțiile democratice”, a declarat Maia Sandu. Salome MIKADZE,  GéorgiaValeriia SEREDENKO, UcrainaInna SEREDIUK, UcrainaKateryna MAZUR, UcrainaMadalina RUJANSCHI, Moldavie

Trupele ucrainene au început o ofensivă în regiunea rusă Belgorod. Președintele Volodimir Zelenski a explicat că această acțiune are ca scop protejarea regiunilor ucrainene Sumî și Harkov, de la frontiera de nord-est cu Rusia. Care mai este situația pe front? În ce măsură e posibilă o încetare a focului în viitorul apropiat? Am întrebat-o pe Angela Grămadă, cercetătoare a spațiului ex-sovietic, președinta Asociației Experți pentru Securitate și Afaceri Globale. Angela Grămadă: „Sînt tot mai multe declaraţii ale experţilor care confirmă că în prezent cea mai puternică armată pe teritoriul continentului european este cea ucraineană. Care are şi aproape un milion de oameni înrolaţi. Ei au experienţa luptei pe teren, au fost pregătiţi în aceşti trei ani să facă faţă unor riscuri şi provocări la care nu s-a aşteptat nimeni. Şi mai au şi sprijinul mai multor state UE. Fie prin coeziunea mai multor actori, fie în mod bilateral li se acordă asistenţă. Evident că este insuficientă pentru nevoile liniei frontului, care se întinde pe mii de kilometri, dar în acelaşi timp este importantă această experienţă a lor de a lupta împotriva agresiunii ruse de 11 ani.”Care este situația pe front în ultimele săptămîni?Angela Grămadă: „Avansul Rusiei nu este semnificativ, nu au reuşit în ultimele luni să ocupe mai mult de o sută şi ceva de kilometri pătraţi. În continuare încearcă să avanseze în regiunile Lugansk, Doneţk, Zaporojie, poate Herson şi o fac punînd presiune prin Harkov şi Sumî, cele două regiuni din nordul Ucrainei. Şi ruşii încearcă foarte mult să detaşeze personal militar, tehnică, muniţie spre Pokrovsk – o localitate foarte importantă, nu doar din punct de vedere strategic. Pokrovsk este una dintre puţinele regiuni din Ucraina care are cărbune cocsificabil, folosit în industria militară.”  Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral! O emisiune de Adela Greceanu și Matei Martin Un produs Radio România Cultural 

Lahav Harkov, a Senior Political Correspondent for Jewish Insider, shares with Eylon Levy the complexities of media coverage during Israel's ongoing conflict. The discussion covers a wide range of topics, including the international media's obsession with Israel, the challenges Israel faces in the information war, and the unique aspects of the Israeli and international media landscapes.Harkov offers insights on why the international media seems to focus disproportionately on Israel, often in a critical light, while larger conflicts around the world receive far less attention, if at all. She also addresses the organizational differences between Israeli and Palestinian messaging strategies, with Palestinians appearing more unified in their approach. The conversation touches on the role of journalists in Israel, the skepticism often applied to Israeli sources, and the perceived biases within major news outlets like The New York Times, BBC, CNN, and others.This episode provides an in-depth look at the struggles Israel faces in shaping global perceptions during the war and highlights the challenges of maintaining journalistic integrity in a complex and often biased media environment.Follow Lahav at: https://jewishinsider.com/Credits: Co-Creator and Host - Eylon LevyCo-Creator and Creative Director - Guy RossExecutive Producer - Asher Westropp-EvansDirector - Lotem SegevGraphics/Assistant Director - Thomas GirschResearch - Odelia GlausiuszStay up to date at:https://www.stateofanationpodcast.com/X: https://twitter.com/stateofapodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stateofapod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...

90 de prizonieri de război ucraineni, printre care 52 de apărători ai Mariupolului s-au întors acasă într-un schimb de prizonieri, a anunțat președintele Zelensky. Acesta este al 52-lea schimb de prizonieri de când Federația Rusă a invadat Ucraina. Ucraina a recuperat 90 de prizonieri de război, este un titlu din Suspilne Media care citează un anunț făcut de președintele Zelenskyi, șeful Biroului președintelui Andriy Yermak și avocatul poporului,  Dmytro Lubinets. Dintre cei 90 de prizonieri, 52 sunt apărători ai Mariupolului, dar și militari care au luptat la Cernobîl,  Herson, Donețk, Harkov, Zaporojie și Luhansk.Acesta este deja al 53-lea schimb de prizonieri de război de la începutul invaziei Federației Ruse, a menționat Lubinets. În total de 3.300 de ucraineni au fost recuperați până în prezent.Noi pași ai opoziției georgiene pentru a se coalizaRadiotavisupleba.ge, Europa Liberă în limba georgiană, publică un articol despre acțiunile președintei țării, Salome Zourabichvili, de a strânge opoziția pe un front comun împotriva partidului de la putere, Visul georgian care împinge țara mai aproape de Rusia și mai departe de Uniunea Europeană. După ce parlamentul a adoptat, în luna mai, o lege privind „agenții străini” după model rusesc, fapt care a dus la izbucnirea unor puternice proteste de stradă, președinta țării a anunțat lansarea unui program numit Charterul Georgian.În cadrul acestuia, președintele le propune partidelor de opoziție să ajungă la un acord asupra problemelor care trebuie rezolvate pentru integrarea europeană, pentru instaurarea democrației și a statului de drept.Potrivit lui Zurabishvili, este nevoie de un altfel de unitate, este nevoie de parlament altfel, altfel de alegeri și un altfel de guvernare.După Charterul Georgian, o parte din partidele de opoziție au semnat „Declarația de unitate” la Bruxelles. Potrivit unuia dintre liderii partidelor semnatare, declarația prevede ca până pe 8 iulie, fiecare partid să vină cu propuneri de schimbare și cu răspunsul la întrebarea dacă opoziția va candida pe o singură listă la viitoarele alegeri sau pe liste separate.Conferință pentru reconstrucția Ucrainei la ChișinăuMoldpres relatează despre Conferința internațională dedicată reconstrucției Ucrainei, desfășurată la Chișinău. Conferința a fost organizată de Camera de Comerț și Industrie Moldova-China, Camera de Comerț Italo-Moldavă, Camera de Comerț și Industrie Franța Moldova și Asociația Investitorilor din România.„Evenimentul reflectă angajamentul nostru comun pentru responsabilitatea socială corporativă și promovarea dezvoltării economice și sociale durabile în regiune”, se arată în comunicatul organizatorilor.În cadrul conferinţei au fost puse în discuţie: oportunităţile de investiţii în Moldova şi procesul de reconstrucţie a Ucrainei; rolul relaţiilor bilaterale între Moldova şi Ucraina; nişele de bază pentru investiţii în Ucraina şi situaţia economică din ţara vecină.Ambasada Republicii Populare Chineze în Republica Moldova a ținut să sublinieze, prin intermediul unui comunicat remis Moldpres, că nu are nicio legătură cu această conferință „Unul dintre organizatorii conferinței e „Camera de Comerț și Industrie Moldova-China”, care este o instituție înființată de cetățean moldovean. Au participat la Revista Presei Europa PlusLohvyn DANIIL               Ukraine                                                                                             Nika TEPNADZE            Géorgie                                                                                                             Laura STOICA                 Moldavie          

Sončna in topla majska sobota je po več deževnih dneh razveselila organizatorje in obiskovalce prireditev, ki jih po vsej državi danes ne manjka. Za športne navdušence so poskrbeli na maratonu treh src v Radencih, v Beltincih so pripravili praznik čebel, spet drugi so se soncu umaknili v muzeje in galerije, ki so ob mednarodnem dnevu brezplačno odprli svoja vrata. V oddaji tudi: - Ukrajinske oblasti iz regije Harkov evakuirale deset tisoč ljudi. - Napadalec na slovaškega premierja po odločitvi sodišča v priporu. - Na kajakaškem evropskem prvenstvu v Tacnu najboljši Slovenec Žan Lin Hočevar na četrtem mestu.

Slovenske kajakašice so v Tacnu postale evropske prvakinje! V ekipni vožnji so si Eva Terčelj, Ajda Novak in Eva Alina Hočevar priborile zlato odličje. Na Giru pa je Tadej Pogačar v današnji vožnji na čas zaostal le za Fillipom Ganno in se tako še utrdil na položaju vodilnega v skupnem seštevku dirke po Italiji. Drugi poudarki: - Ruske sile napredujejo v ukrajinski regiji Harkov, izraelski napadi po celotni Gazi. - Posledice vojne v Sudanu vse hujše, predvsem za Darfur. - Ob težavah Botaničnega vrta v Ljubljani peticija za njegovo ohranitev.

Današnjo soboto so doma zaznamovali gneča na cestah ter dosežki naših športnikov, na tujem pa nadaljevanje konfliktov. V Zrcalu dneva: - Ukrajina svari pred širšo ofenzivo ruskih sil - Izraelski napadi po celotni Gazi - Praznovanje pred dnevom čebel - Slovenske kajakašice evropske prvakinje!

Premier Robert Golob je v pogovoru za ameriško televizijo CNN dejal, da je podpisal pismo, v katerem je voditelje držav članic Evropske unije pozval, naj se pridružijo procesu priznanja Palestine. Prepričan je, da bo Unija pomembnejša akterka na Bližnjem vzhodu, če bo enotna. Med državami članicami povezave je namreč zdaj veliko razhajanj, to pa ne pomaga pri vzpostavljanju miru na Bližnjem vzhodu, je še dodal. Druge teme: - Predstavniki ravnateljev, staršev in učiteljev zaradi vse večjih težav šolskega sistema pristojne pozvali k ukrepanju. - Pet kirurgov v šempetrski bolnišnici napovedalo odhod. - V ruskem napadu na Harkov ubita najmanj dva človeka, več kot 10 ranjenih.

Slovaški premier Robert Fico je bil ranjen v atentatu. Po zasedanju slovaške vlade je napadalec izstrelil 4 strele, eden naj bi zadel premierja in ga ranil. Druge teme: - Ob zaostrovanju stavke na upravnih enotah - na 34-ih do preklica ne bodo delali ničesar nenujnega - vlada širi nabor nujnih storitev. To je po mnenju sindikata nezakonito, zato so podali prijavo na inšpektorat za delo, saj je pravica do stavke po njihovem tudi temeljna pravica. - Bruto domači prozvod se povečuje, kar potrjuje napovedi o več kot 2-odstotni rasti. Okrepila se je zlasti potrošnja države, pravi Maja Bednaš z Urada za makroekonomske analize, gopodinjstva pa so trošila precej več za turistične storitve v tujini, pa tudi za nakupe avtomobilov in hrano. Evropska komisija je medtem zvišala napoved gospodarske rasti naše države za letos nad povprečje tako območja z evrom kot celotne Unije. - Ob 76-ti obletnici nakbe izraelska vojska nadaljuje napade na Gazo. Najhuje je v Džabaliji na severu enklave in v južnem mestu Rafa. Ukrajinski predsednik Volodimir Zelenski je ob napredovanju ruskih sil v regiji Harkov odpovedal vse obiske v tujini. - Predsednica Nataša Pirc Musar je na forumu o nenasilju poudarila medvrstniško nasilje. Kot pravi, k njegovemu naraščanju prispevajo tudi družbena omrežja, ker je nasilje postalo vsebina sprevrženega zabavljaštva in iskanja pozornosti, pogosta pa je tudi glorifikacija nasilnežev in nasilja.

Državna volilna komisija je danes izžrebala vrstni red, v katerem se bodo kandidatne liste pojavile na glasovnicah za evropske volitve. Volilna udeležba na njih je v Sloveniji navadno nizka, pod 30-imi odstotki. Tokrat pa raziskave ter izkušnje z referendumov in prejšnjih volitev kažejo, da bi lahko bila rekordna. Naša država sicer ostaja na repu evropskih držav po udeležbi mladih. V oddaji tudi: - Rusija nadaljuje invazijo na Harkov, na poti v Ukrajino nova ameriška pomoč. - Ministrica Bratušek: Kanin se bo rešil s sodelovanjem, ne pa izsiljevanjem. - Dirka po Italiji: Jan Tratnik danes tretji, Tadej Pogačar ostaja vodilni.

Poslanci v državnem zboru obravnavajo predlog zakona o sodnem varstvu razlaščenih imetnikov bančnih delnic in obveznic. Pred tem je stranka NSi vložila predlog za razpis posvetovalnega referenduma o noveli zakona o parlamentarni preiskavi. NSi je sicer obstruiral obravnavo novele na tokratni seji državnega zbora. Predlog novele je vložila predsednica parlamenta Urška Klakočar Zupančič. Druge teme: - V prihodnjih dveh letih bi lahko brez ginekologa ostalo 350 tisoč žensk, opozarjajo pristojni. - Slovenski sodnik Marko Bošnjak izvoljen za predsednika Evropskega sodišča za človekove pravice. - V ukrajinsko mesto Harkov po okrepitvi ruskih napadov zbežalo več tisoč ljudi.

Izrael kljub mednarodnim opozorilom krepi napade predvsem na Rafo ter osrednji in severni del Gaze, kjer je bilo v begunskem taborišču Džabalija ubitih več 10 Palestincev. Skupno število srtnih žrtev v enklavi je preseglo 35 tisoč. Vse bolj napeto je tudi v ukrajinskih in ruskih obmejnih regijah: Druge teme: - Ruska vojska zasedla več vasi v regiji Harkov, ukrajinski izstrelek zadel stanovanjski blok v Belgorodu - Posvetovalni referendumi bi lahko zvišali udeležbo na evropskih volitvah - Na Evroviziji slavila Švica, Nizozemska toži organizatorja zaradi prepovedi nastopa njenega predstavnika

Here to share what she sees and hears on the ground is Lahav Harkov, senior contributing editor and diplomatic correspondent for The Jerusalem Post. Lahav, welcome back to People of the Pod.  Lahav Harkov:  Hi.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   So let's begin with the visit by Blinken. His jaunt to Jerusalem was on the calendar for a while. But given the escalation of violence in recent days, and the Cabinet support for legalizing more settlements, did Blinken's agenda change? Lahav Harkov:  Yeah, I mean, I'm sure that you know, it's updated according to whatever is going on at the time, he has to be, you know, have his finger on the pulse. And so the issue of terrorism did come up. And he did make some really important remarks, just about how horrific it is and how just completely unacceptable it is to attack a place of worship, as a Palestinian terrorist did on Friday night. But of course, that was followed by another terrorist attack the next morning, in which two people were killed. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So his original agenda included a strategy of how to deal with the nuclear situation in Iran. Can you kind of update us on where Israel stands on that situation right now and how it's dealing with hostilities from Iran? Lahav Harkov:  Yeah, you know, it's not so different from what it was in the previous government, right. There's some nuances that are different, but overall, Netanyahu opposes the Iran deal. But that deal is not so much on the table anymore anyway. Netanyahu openly says that Israel has done things to stop Iran from developing certain weapons, which seems to be a hint at an attack in Isfahan, which is a city in Iran, in what apparently was a drone manufacturing site. But of course, Netanyahu would not get into that level of detail. But there's been reports, it was first reported in The Wall Street Journal, that it was Israel that did it, sort of in coordination with the US. Manya Brachear Pashman:   In other words, taking matters into Israel's own hands and taking care of the situation within Iran. Lahav Harkov:   All the reports say generally that it is in coordination with the US. So you know, Israel is doing it. But I guess you could say Israel is taking matters into its own hands, but it's not acting, like at cross-purposes with the US. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So was there progress made in the conversations between Netanyahu and Blinken? I mean, are the United States and Israel still on the same page when it comes to Iran or were there sticking points? Lahav Harkov:  Overall, I think that Netanyahu would like a more aggressive approach to Iran. You know, more sanctions, more willingness to strike, but I think that they're still in a good place. Overall, they're sort of, again, working towards similar purposes, working in the same direction. It's not a point, you know, if Netanyahu was Prime Minister, I don't know, a year ago, and the Biden administration was really actively pursuing the Iran deal something Netanyahu thinks is a great danger to Israel and in the world. That's not where we are, right. The Biden administration has all but dropped the deal. And with the massive protests and the violent suppression by the regime, you know, the Biden administration is not in a place where it's looking to cut Tehran any slack. So, the differences, I guess, are, maybe they're not small, but they're not as big as they could have been, even just six months ago.  Manya Brachear Pashman:   So another topic that Blinken had hoped to discuss this week was diplomatic relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. I don't know what that did end up on the agenda as significantly as was intended, but how likely is that to happen? And if it's likely, what's the timeline and what are the caveats? Lahav Harkov:  So I think it's very premature to talk about a timeline. The Saudis themselves, in any public statement, when the top officials are asked about this issue, they say that there needs to be some sort of movement on the Palestinian file before there can be peace with the Saudis. That being said, that was the case for the entire Arab world for the past 23 years or so, and yet Israel established relations with four different Arab countries in 2020. And so it's possible that Netanyahu can once again make the seemingly impossible happen. And certainly, you know, I think we saw maybe a baby step in that direction after Friday night's terrorist attack. One of the countries that condemned that attack was Saudi Arabia, which is not the usual thing. And so that was very interesting. But I still think that it's very premature to be talking about timelines. I don't know when it's gonna happen. But Netanyahu is really, really intent on trying. Manya Brachear Pashman:     So, Secretary Blinken also hinted that the proposed judicial reforms could undermine Israel's democracy, and that this common connection with the United States, this democratic connection, right. Let's talk about those reforms, which many legal scholars have said, could weaken the Israeli Supreme Court? Can you walk us through those proposed changes and why there's so much concern? And frankly whether that concern is overblown? Lahav Harkov:  Yeah, I mean, first of all, I take a little bit of issue with the premise because there certainly were a lot of headlines that said that blinkin said what you said he did. But when you look at what he actually said, which anyone can find on the State Department website. He said that Israel and the US share democratic values. He said that the sort of very robust debate going on about the judicial issue, but he didn't actually mention the judicial issue, but it was in response to questions about it. And it's sometimes not, but he said the robust debate is indicative of a strong democracy. So none of these things to me sounded like Blinken chiding Israel, I think he was being very cautious.  And I would be surprised if he did support these judicial reforms, although really, he shouldn't take a position this way or other. But I think that he was a lot more cautious, and a lot more neutral in his statement than the way it had been reported in a lot of places. Now, I understand that behind the scenes, he did express caution.  But I think the way that this was reported on was sort of slanted and inaccurate, almost everywhere. But moving forward, look, the judicial reform, it goes very far in the opposite direction of where things stand in Israel right now. But where things stand in Israel right now is also extremely unbalanced. You know, you're supposed to have checks and balances between the different parts of government. And, there's only checks and no balances right now, like the court can really check anything that the government and the Knesset does. But the Knesset and the government have no bearing, no influence practically on what happens. The process of selecting judges, for example, is there's a joint committee, that includes politicians and judges and the Bar Association. And essentially, it's slanted so that the judges have, you know, outsized influence, for example.  And all kinds of things like that. It takes a really long time to explain it. So I'm not gonna take our whole half hour to explain the judicial reform. But I will say two things. First of all, I often find it deeply ironic when Americans criticize the reform, because certain parts of it will just make it more like America's system. Right? So when people say like, oh, it's not democratic, you know, to have politicians having too much of an influence on the judicial selection process, I think to myself, well, how do you think Supreme Court justices are chosen in America, right?  And then there's just like, another thing that happens in the Supreme Court in Israel is that you have an extremely broad concept of standing in the court, like an NGO can bring a case before the court, even though they have nothing to do with it. Like let's say, I don't know, an NGO can say that Israel is building on property that actually belongs to Palestinians, even if the Palestinians aren't suing, and haven't spoken to that NGO.  And in the US, right, the idea of who can have standing before the Supreme Court is much narrower than that. So to me, it's like people are hearing what's being said by certain figures that they like to read or hear from in the media and they're just echoing out without really thinking. That being said, I do think that the reform swings, it does like a one ad, right where you have an extremely powerful judiciary and you want to fix that unjust injustice of an imbalance.  But this reform, the way it stands now, creates a new imbalance, it's just in the opposite direction. But I think that, Israel's system is built on compromise. We have a coalition system, you have a lot of different parties there. They're sort of push and pull and in the end, you have to agree on something. Now, it's true that this coalition, they all want to make big changes to the courts.  But I think that in the parliamentary process, which of course, includes the opposition, that they are active parts of the committee that's legislating this reform, I think it will end up more moderate than it is now.  And you know, and people can debate about the degree right, like to what level should there be reform? Netanyahu says that it's not going to be exactly as it was proposed at first, he says that I will hear the opposition out, and that there will be changes made. I know a lot of people just don't believe him. You know, he is a polarizing figure. But he's not the only person involved with this bill who says that. And so my hope is that that's what will happen in the end. And that, as Blinken, actually himself said, that hopefully they will be able to reach some kind of consensus or if not consensus, than just a broad section of the Knesset working together. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So what is fueling the protests? The direction of the imbalances is particularly sensitive. Is it just the polarizing nature of it being a Netanyahu administration? What's fueling the protests? Lahav Harkov:  I actually think there's a little bit of both. I think first of all, there is a subsection of the protesters who are genuinely outraged by the reform, and maybe not the concept of reform itself, maybe they think it just goes way too far and puts too much of the power in the hands of the politician, as opposed to the courts. You know, there are people like that, certainly, you have a lot of figures from the legal world who joined the protest and speak at the various protests. On the other hand, for basically the entire time since we started our whole crisis where we had five elections in four years, there's been protests outside the Prime Minister's residence as Netanyahu was Prime Minister. So you know, almost the entire time, minus a year and a bit. And there was a protest movement, and it ebbed and flowed. There were bigger protests and smaller protests. But I just think that this is an outgrowth of that. And honestly, it's been every week since the government was formed. I guess that's like six weeks now. And the first protests were not really so focused on the judicial issue, they were focused on other sort of social issues, which that's also something that we could discuss about this government. But, they then shifted to the judiciary, which I think gave them like, an intellectual gloss, sort of, it made it seem more serious than just people who are angry at this government. But I do think that it certainly was a building on an existing, anti Netanyahu protest movement. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So what are the social concerns causing concern and fueling protests? Lahav Harkov: There is a lot of sort of homophobic and very strongly anti-gay rhetoric coming from this coalition, coming from specifically within the religious Zionist party, and some of the things being said are very ugly, and I think like hurtful to people who are gay and there is a lot of concern about that. And I would also add that there's misogyny coming from the same people as well, in terms of not even just women in the army, because I think it's fair to have a debate about, you know, whether it's appropriate for women to be in combat roles, et cetera. Like there's a debate to be had there. And I wouldn't jump to saying that's misogyny, but other things just about like women's roles in society that, you know, I wonder what year it is when you hear those people say these things. What's interesting is that it's not the Haredim who are saying either the homophobic or the misogynistic things for the most part, because they, their idea is sort of, we have our community and we do things within our community one way and sort of, even if they disapprove of what other communities do, they're less involved. Let's put it that way.  But it's the religious Zionist party, which is, for many years, sort of a bridge between those two parts of society. But I would say in recent years, at least, the political religious Zionism, if not the actual communities, leads towards the Haredi direction. So anyway, it's been coming from them. Netanyahu has said that there's not going to be any anti gay laws, and nothing's going to change. I believe him that that's what he wants. I would say that between the judicial stuff, and also, you know, these things about LGBT people, you know, Netanyahu can't say no to everything that his partners want, because then he won't have a coalition anymore, they'll quit, and we'll go to another election. And so I don't know where the breaking point is going to be. But in order for Netanyahu to maintain his coalition, there will be a breaking point somewhere. Somewhere, he's going to have to say yes, even though he really wants to say no. Manya Brachear Pashman:     So another change, proposed change, that has sparked tremendous concern among Jews, at least here in the diaspora, is the possibility that people who are not recognized as Jewish under Jewish law will be restricted. Right now the Law of Return allows every Jew to emigrate to and live in Israel as long as they have at least one Jewish grandparent. The definition of a Jew was based on the Nuremberg laws, in the original law of return. Now, there have been amendments since then that have extended Aliyah, to spouses to children, regardless of whether they're Jewish, how likely is this law to change? Lahav Harkov:   So I think it is actually pretty low priority for this coalition. And if it's low priority, then there's always the chance that just with the passage of time, other things will happen. And this won't. So for starters, there's that like, I just don't think there's going to be some sort of rapid change there. That being said, I do think that it is something that people in this coalition want. And again, it's another thing Netanyahy doesn't want. And also Likud really doesn't want it. I mean, Likud doesn't want rights to be rolled back for gay people either. Don't get me wrong, but like, Likud doesn't want this, it goes against their voter base, a lot of Russian speaking Israelis vote for Likud. And this is viewed by them, and rightly so I think, as a way to stop immigration from the former Soviet Union.  Because especially now with the war going on, you have many people coming here who, let's say, probably didn't ever see themselves living in Israel and don't really see themselves as Jewish, but because they're sanctions on Russia, life is increasingly difficult there, it's easier for them to come to Israel.  It's one of these things where, the law of unintended consequences where where the politicians are thinking about one thing, but there are a lot of Jews in the Western world and you know, the majority of American Jews are married to marrying non Jews, you know, the numbers get higher all the time, and it affects people more people I think, than they were thinking about. So moving forward, they're gonna have to have that discussion and they're gonna have to think about it, you know, if they're gonna move forward with this, but I do think that politically they just don't have the numbers for it. I don't think Likud will want that. And Likud is half the seats in this coalition. So you need Likud in order for it to happen. Manya Brachear Pashman:   So I want to shift gears a little bit and go back to Secretary Blinken, who doubled down on the United States support for a two state solution, both Israel and Palestinian state. But there are signs that public support for a two state solution is waning there. Is there really a lack of public support for that solution? Lahav Harkov:  Polls have shown that support is waning, both among Israelis and even more dramatically among Palestinians. I don't think it's overblown. Netanyahu talks like someone who does not want a two state solution at all, but the Trump per parameters the Trump plan was, practically, it was exactly what Netanyahu would have wanted it, it's exactly what you're saying- I would accept any plan, which is that Israel can keep all of the communities in Judea and Samaria, and, and applied sovereignty to them. And the Palestinian state would be on parts of the West Bank that, you know, Israelis don't live on. And it would be a demilitarized state that would essentially be surrounded on all ends by Israelis. Now, that's not a two state solution that Palestinians will ever accept. But that is a two state solution that I think the majority of Israelis would accept if they were presented with that, right. So a lot of it really depends on how you ask the question. But if you talk about a two state solution based on pre-1967 lines, then I think the vast majority of Israelis would not want that. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Okay, Lahav, the last time you came on this podcast, we discussed the really difficult spot that Israel was in, they were offering safety to Ukrainian refugees, they were providing humanitarian aid inside Ukraine, with Russia, right there on Israel's border with Syria. A lot has transpired since then, not least of which Israel has a new administration. So has Israel's position shifted? Lahav Harkov:  Israel's position has not shifted openly. Israel's not like sending weapons to Ukraine right now. That being said, the attack on the drone manufacturing site in Iran, which is something that, reportedly Israel did, is something that helps Ukraine a lot. And so Netanyahu admitted it that also in the interview on CNN with Jake Tapper, he says something, you know, like that we we hit back at, you know, Iran's development of different weapons, and those are weapons that are also being used against Ukraine. And I believe it was Ukraine's defense minister, some important Ukrainian official. It slipped my mind now exactly who it is but after that attack tweeted something to like, We warned you Iran, which sort of hints to you that maybe Ukraine knew something about what was going on as well. So it seems to me that there are things happening behind the scenes. But Israel's not saying it upfront, in order not to antagonize Russia, which really is sitting on Israel's northern border. Manya Brachear Pashman:   Well, Lahav, thank you once again for coming and sharing your perspective from on the ground there. I think that's really important because a lot of people are interpreting and reporting things without actually being there and there's always holes when you try to do that, so thank you so much.  Lahav Harkov:  All right. Thank you.

Two months after Israelis voted in their fifth election in three years, Israel has a new government - of sorts. Though Benjamin Netanyahu is back as Israel's prime minister, the composition of the new governing coalition is different than what it's been in the past, and some new members of the government, as a result of their right-leaning politics, have attracted a lot of criticism from the news media and elsewhere. But how much of the criticism of Israel's government is accurate, and how much is simply a relic of knee-jerk anti-Israel sentiment? To help separate fact from fiction, our guest on this week's podcast is Lahav Harkov. Lahav is the Senior Contributing Editor and Diplomatic Correspondent of The Jerusalem Post, and is well-connected to the country's top lawmakers and diplomats.

Ukrayna savaşında yeni evre savaşın karakterini değiştirmiyor: Barışa giden yol NATO'nun yenilgisinden geçiyor! Rusya askerî olarak ele geçirdiği Donbas (Donetsk ve Luhansk), Herson ve Zaporijya'yı, bu bölgelerde yapılan referandumların ardından ilhak etti. Ukrayna'yı Rusya'ya karşı vekil olarak savaştıran ABD ve İngiltere'nin başını çektiği NATO bloku beklendiği gibi ardı ardına referandum ve ilhak kararlarını gayrimeşru ilan etti. ABD, Rusya'ya yönelik yeni yaptırım kararları aldığını açıkladı. Bu gelişme savaşta yeni bir evrenin başlamış olduğuna işaret ediyor. İlhak kararı bir süre önce Rusya'da ilan edilen “kısmi seferberlik” kararı temelinde 300 bin yedek askerin göreve çağrılmasıyla birlikte düşünüldüğünde savaşın kapsamının genişlemekte olduğu söylenebilir. Rusya artık ilhak edilen bölgelere yönelik saldırıları Rusya toprağına yapılmış saldırılar olarak değerlendirecek ve buna göre karşılık verecek. Yani Rusya'nın resmi söyleminde “özel askeri operasyon” olarak geçen savaş artık resmî olarak bir savaşa dönüşmek üzere. Rusya'nın ilhak hamlesi askerî ve siyasî hedeflerini daraltıyor Bu gelişmeyi tek başına savaşı büyütmeye yönelik bir iradi adım olarak değerlendirmek doğru değil. Zira söz konusu referandumlar ve ilhak kararının özelliği, Rusya'nın Ukrayna'daki siyasi hedeflerini genişletmesi değil daraltmasıdır. Savaşın başında Rus ordusu hem Rusya hem de Belarus üzerinden Kiev'e yürümüş, açıkça Zelenski hükümetini devirmeyi ve Ukrayna'yı iktidarın ortağı olan Nazilerden kurtarmayı (denazifikasyon) hedeflemişti. Savaşın seyri içinde Rusya Kiev ve Harkov kuşatmasını kaldırmış, askerî harekâtın Ukrayna'nın doğusuna ve güneyine odaklanacağını duyurmuştu. Son gelişmeyle odaklanma hem askerî hem de siyasi bir sınırlandırmaya dönüşmüştür. Artık Rusya sadece Donbas bölgesinin halen Ukrayna güçleri tarafından kontrol edilen yörelerinin askerî olarak kurtarılmasından bahsetmektedir. Ayrıca Ukrayna'nın NATO'ya katılmasının reddi ve engellenmesi de halen savaşın siyasi hedefleri içindedir. NATO'ların halkların kaderini belirlemesine hayır! Ukrayna'da savaş yeni bir evreye girmektedir ama savaşın niteliği değişmiş değildir. NATO ve vekilleri savaşın saldırgan ve haksız tarafı olmayı sürdürmektedir. Bu saldırganlık sadece Putin rejimini değil tüm dünya halklarını tehdit etmektedir. Bu gerçek ortadayken referandumları demokratik normlara uymadığı için tümden gayrimeşru ilan etmek NATO söylemine teslim olmak olur. Evet, referandumlar Rus ordusunun gözetimi altında yapılmıştır. Böyle bir savaş ortamında, bölge nüfusunun bir kısmının göç etmiş olduğu bir durumda parlamenter demokrasinin normlarının işletilmemiş olduğu açıktır. Ancak bu, Donbas, Herson ve Zaporijya'da yaşayan halkın Nazilerle birlikte yaşamama iradesinin gerçek, haklı, meşru bir irade ve tercih olduğu gerçeğini ortadan kaldırmaz. Referandumların kendi kaderini tayin ilkesi açısından biçimsel değerlendirmelere tabi tutulması yanıltıcıdır. Zira sadece Ukrayna'da değil, Ortadoğu'dan Asya Pasifik coğrafyasına kadar ABD'nin NATO'nun Kuzey Atlantik ve Avrupa'da gördüğü işlevin benzerini görecek yeni NATO'lar inşa ederek dünyanın geleceğini konvansiyonel ve nükleer zor kullanarak belirlemeye çalıştığı bir dünyada yaşıyoruz. Putin'in savaş içinde benimsediği taktik ve stratejiler yaşanan savaşın niteliğini değiştirmez. Dünya işçi sınıfının ve ezilen halklarının çıkarı bu savaşta emperyalizmin yenilgisinden yanadır. Son gelişmelerden çıkarılacak bir ders varsa o da şudur: Emperyalizme karşı burjuva iktidarların savaşı sınırlı kalmaya mahkûmdur. Putin'in milliyetçi savaşının sınırları dünya işçi sınıfını bağlamaz ve sınırlandıramaz. Ukrayna'daki savaşın emperyalist merkezlerde hızlandırdığı ekonomik çöküntüyle birlikte büyük bir sınıf savaşı başlamaktadır. Emperyalizmi nihai olarak yıkacak ve dünyaya barışı getirecek olanın bu savaştaki devrimci zaferimiz olacağını unutmamalıyız.

Viteza cu care a escaladat situația în estul Ucrainei, după căderea frontului din Harkov, a dus la o serie de erori în planificarea și strategia de pe frontul de luptă, de partea rusă. Ironic sau nu, în ziua în care Putin a proclamat anexarea regiunilor ucrainene ocupate la Rusia, o parte din frontul din Lugansk s-a prăbușit, la scurt timp fiind ocupat orașul strategic Lîman. Totodată, soarta alegerilor prezidențiale din Brazilia rămâne incertă, din moment ce un „6 ianuarie tropical” pare mai probabil, pe fondul unor rezultate ale primului tur nu tocmai cele așteptate.

După veștile nesperat de bune de săptămâna trecută din Ucraina, mai ales în ce privește succesul rapid al contraofensivei din Harkov, Europa a revenit la vechile-i preocupări, care pe lângă criza energetică, sunt legate și de ascensiunea în Suedia și posibila victorie în Italia, a forțelor de extremă dreaptă. Presa internațională dezbate în mai multe rânduri cum e posibil acest lucru dar și ce ar însemna pentru politica europeană, venirea la putere a unor partide extremiste, care până nu demult erau marginalizate.

Săptămâna care a trecut a fost probabil una dintre cele mai intense în ceea ce privește schimbările de pe arena politică din Europa dar și de pe scena militară din Ucraina, fiind greu de egalat cu o altă perioadă din ultima vreme. Armata ucraineană a reușit o contraofensivă care i-a șocat până și pe decidenții de la Kiev, iar la Londra, pentru prima dată în ultimele șapte decenii s-a cântat „God save the King”. Pentru că toamna, pas cu pas, intră în calendar și termometre, Uniunea Europeană a pus pe masă primele măsuri de răspuns la criza energetică și șantajul Moscovei, printre care se numără și plafonarea prețului la gazele naturale, dar care se discută.

Eliberarea așezărilor din regiunile Harkov și Donețk continuă, anunță armata ucraineana care in ultima saptamana a castigat masiv teren in estul tarii. De la Moscova, Vladimir Putin anunţă că războiul va continua până la ”atingerea obiectivelor... citiţi mai departe

Slovenski košarkarji so se z zmago nad Belgijo uvrstili med osem najboljših reprezentanc prvenstva stare celine. Kljub temu, da v prvih treh četrtinah nismo spremljali predstave, kakršne smo vajeni iz zlatih dni, je bila zadnja četrtina na koncu odločilna za visoko zmago. Belgijce so izločili z 88 : 72.

Šodien ir Ukrainas Neatkarības diena – 31. gadadiena kopš toreizējā Ukrainas PSR Augstākā Padome pieņēma Neatkarības deklarāciju, izstājoties no Padomju Savienības. Šogad šis datums sakrīt ar citu hronoloģisku atskaites punktu: pusgadu, kopš Krievija uzsāka plaša mēroga karadarbību pret Ukrainu. Ir bažas par to, ka Krievija šai dienā varētu vērst īpaši agresīvus raķešu triecienus pret Ukrainas pilsētām, kā arī sarīkot diversijas. Savukārt pagājušajā svētdienā lielum lielajam vairumam pasaules ziņu auditorijas pirmoreiz tapa zināms Darjas Duginas vārds. 29 gadus vecā žurnāliste līdz šim bija pazīstama šovinistiska un impēriska satura patērētājiem Krievijas propagandas medijos RT un Carjgrad, kā arī interneta resursā United World International un Krievijas ultranacionālistu aprindās, kurās ir ietekme viņas tēvam, filozofam Aleksandram Duginam. Nepilnas divas diennaktis pēc notikušā Krievijas Federālais drošības dienests nāca klajā ar versiju, kas slepkavībā vaino Ukrainas slepenos dienestus. Šīs un citas ārvalstu aktualitātes raidījumā Divas puslodes pārrunājam kopā ar žurnālistu un Latvijas ārpolitikas institūta asociēto pētnieku Artūru Bikovu, sazināmies arī ar politologu Kārli Daukštu un Latvijas Televīzijas žurnālistu Gintu Amoliņu. Skarbie svētki Šodien ir Ukrainas Neatkarības diena – 31. gadadiena kopš toreizējā Ukrainas PSR Augstākā Padome pieņēma Neatkarības deklarāciju, izstājoties no Padomju Savienības un radot pašreiz pastāvošo Ukrainas valsti. Ukrainas aiziešana no brūkošās padomju impērijas, domājams, bija izšķirošais moments, kas noteica šīs impērijas izbeigšanos, kuru Krievijas līderis Vladimirs Putins, kā zināms, raksturojis kā 20. gadsimta smagāko ģeopolitisko katastrofu. Šogad šis datums sakrīt ar citu hronoloģisku atskaites punktu: pusgadu, kopš Krievija uzsāka plaša mēroga karadarbību pret Ukrainu. Smagi cīnoties par sava suverēnā valstiskuma pastāvēšanu, Ukraina savus valsts svētkus atzīmē daudz pieticīgāk nekā citkārt. Šogad 24. augusts nav brīvdiena, nenotiek nekādi masu pasākumi. Tam iemesls ir ne vien taupības režīms, bet arī bažas par to, ka Krievija šai dienā varētu vērst īpaši agresīvus raķešu triecienus pret Ukrainas pilsētām, kā arī sarīkot diversijas. Frontei tuvajā Harkovā noteikta komandanta stunda. Savienoto Valstu vēstniecība Ukrainā izplatījusi aicinājumu savas valsts pilsoņiem pamest Ukrainu, norādot, ka Krievijas intensīvu triecienu risks Ukrainas civilajiem objektiem ir ļoti augsts. Krievijas režīma niknumu nepārprotami uzkurinājuši pēdējā laika notikumi. Nu jau pāris nedēļas Ukrainas armija vērš triecienus pret militārajiem objektiem Krievijas anektētajā Krimā, kuru Kremlis uzskata par savas valsts teritoriju, un agrāk ir draudējis ar nesaudzīgiem prettriecieniem jebkādam pret to vērstam uzbrukumam. Vēl viens šai sakarā pieminams notikums ir Ukrainas prezidenta Volodimira Zelenska tikšanās ar ANO ģenerālsekretāru Antoniu Guterrešu un Turcijas prezidentu Radžipu Taijipu Erdoganu, kas 18. augustā notika Ļvivā. Kā kļuvis zināms, Erdogans uz Ļvivu atvedis Krievijas līdera Putina piedāvājumu sākt tiešas sarunas ar prezidentu Zelenski, taču saņēmis atbildi, ka šādas sarunas būšot iespējamas tikai pēc Krievijas spēku atkāpšanās no visas pēc 24. februāra okupētās Ukrainas teritorijas. Tikmēr satraucošas ziņas pienāk no Krievijas okupētās Mariupoles, kur tiekot veikti priekšdarbi paraugprāvai pret ukraiņu karagūstekņiem. Atklātībā parādījušās fotogrāfijas ar tiem paredzētu krātiņu, kurš tiek būvēts Maruipoles Filharmonijas zālē, kur varētu notikt tiesāšana. Potenciālie tiesājamie ir Ukrainas Nacionālās gvardes bataljona „Azova” karavīri, kuri ilgstoši pretojās okupantu spēkiem aplenktajā Mariupolē. Krievija bataljonu „Azova” traktē kā teroristisku organizāciju, taču tā ir regulāra Ukrainas bruņoto spēku vienība, uz kuras dalībniekiem attiecas karagūstekņu statuss. Viņu tiesāšana kādā paraugprāvā būtu uzskatāma par kara noziegumu, kā to paziņojis ANO Augstā cilvēktiesību komisāra birojs. Dīvainā nāve Maskavā Pagājušajā svētdienā lielum lielajam vairumam pasaules ziņu auditorijas pirmoreiz tapa zināms Darjas Duginas vārds. 29 gadus vecā žurnāliste līdz šim bija pazīstama šovinistiska un impēriska satura patērētājiem Krievijas propagandas medijos RT un Carjgrad, kā arī interneta resursā United World International un Krievijas ultranacionālistu aprindās, kurās ir ietekme viņas tēvam, filozofam Aleksandram Duginam. Sestdienas vakarā Piemaskavā tika uzspridzināta automašīna, kurā atradās Darja Dugina, un viņa notikuma vietā mira. Atentāts notika viņas tēva acu priekšā. Nepilnas divas diennaktis pēc notikušā Krievijas Federālais drošības dienests nāca klajā ar versiju, kas slepkavībā vaino Ukrainas slepenos dienestus, papildinot savus apgalvojumus ar videomateriāliem. Saskaņā ar šo versiju atentātu īstenojusi kāda Ukrainas pilsone Natālija Vovka, kura ieradusies Krievijā ar automašīnu Mini Cooper, pie tam kopā ar savu divpadsmitgadīgo meitu. Pēc Darjas Duginas nogalināšanas domājamā diversante esot izbraukusi uz Igauniju. Kā apgalvots Krievijas propagandas medijos, Natālija Vovka, agrākā Mariupoles iedzīvotāja, esot profesionāla Ukrainas militārpersona, kas, iespējams, saistīta ar bataljonu „Azova”, kurā dienot viņas dzīvesbiedrs. Ukrainas puse jau noraidījusi šādu versiju kā smieklīgu. Tajā pat laikā atbildību par Duginas nogalināšanu uzņēmusies kāda līdz šim praktiski nezināma organizācija Nacionālā republikāniskā armija, par ko pirmdienas rītā paziņoja no Krievijas emigrējušais opozīcijas politiķis Iļja Ponomarjovs. Viņš šo organizāciju raksturoja kā partizānu kustību, kuras mērķis ir ar tiešām akcijām vērsties pret Vladimiru Putinu un viņa režīma pārstāvjiem, t.sk. valsts un vietvaru ierēdņiem, spēka struktūru darbiniekiem. Saskaņā ar Ponomarjova teikto, uzbrukuma galvenais mērķis bijis Aleksandrs Dugins, kurš nejaušības dēļ sprādziena brīdī atradies citā automašīnā. Abās pieminētajās versijās šaubas izraisa tas, ka ne Aleksandrs Dugins, ne Darja Dugina neietilpst Putina režīma ietekmīgāko personu lokā. Tiek gan minēts, ka Aleksandra Dugina politiskie uzskati, kas nereti tiek raksturoti kā „krievu fašisms”, savulaik interesējuši Vladimiru Putinu, taču Dugina un viņa meitas politiskā ietekme šī brīža Krievijā drīzāk vērtējama kā nenozīmīga.   Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš.

Teden, ki je pred nami, bo postregel s pestrim političnim dogajanjem. Pred sredinim glasovanjem o ministrstki ekipi 15-te slovenske vlade, se bodo jutri in v torek nadaljevale predstavitve ministrskih kandidatov. Številne izmed njih čaka težko dela in velik izzivov.Takojšen začetek dialoga, ki je v času prejšne vlade povsem zamrl, v prvi vrsti pričakujejo sindikati javnega sektroja. Ostale teme: - Zelenski prvič od začetka vojne obiskal Harkov na vzhodu države, po obisku na območju več eksplozij - Na Hrvaškem z radarjev izginilo letalo, ki je bilo na poti iz Splita proti Nemčiji; na krovu naj bi bili štirje potniki - Na evropskem prvenstvu v kajaku in kanju Benjaminu Savšku zlato, Ajdi Novak bron; Giro prvič osvojil Avstralec Jai Hindley

Vojna v Ukrajini se nadaljuje, ruski napadi so usmerjeni zlasti na jug in vzhod države. Med tarčami sta Harkov in Mariupolj - to mesto ruska vojska nenehno bombardira že od začetka invazije, v njem naj bi bilo - v obupnih razmerah - še vedno 160 tisoč ljudi. Zahodne države medtem sprejemajo nove ukrepe proti Rusiji zaradi zločinov nad civilnim prebivalstvom. V oddaji tudi: - Madžarska kritična do Bruslja zaradi sprožitve mehanizma pogojevanja finančnih sredstev z upoštevanjem vladavine prava - Protikorupcijska komisija pri nekdanjem direktorju Zavoda za blagovne rezerve Zakrajšku ugotovila kršitev integritete pri nakupih zaščitne opreme - Na shodu v Ljubljani opozorila raziskovalcev na - po njihovem mnenju - nepremišljeno ustanavljanje novih javnih raziskovalnih zavodov

Z vsega sveta prihajajo obsodbe grozodejstev, ki naj bi jih ruska vojska izvedla nad civilisti v ukrajinskem kraju Buča. Guvernerji regij Harkov, Lugansk in Doneck na vzhodu Ukrajine so prebivalce medtem pozvale, naj takoj zapustijo ta ozemlja, sicer jim grozi smrt. Pričakujejo namreč, da bodo ruske sile po umiku z območja Kijeva začele novo ofenzivo na vzhodu države. Kot je ob tem sporočila podpredsednica ukrajinske vlade, Kijev prebivalcem omenjenih regij po ruskem napadu ne bo mogel pomagati. Druge teme: - Anton Zakrajšek na čelu Zavoda za blagovne rezerve kršil integriteto pri nakupih zaščitne opreme - Poslanci izglasovali prepoved frackinga, več drugih zakonodajnih predlogov ustavila referendumska pobuda - Košarkarji Olimpije z zmago končali redni del Evropskega pokala, Primož Roglič na Dirki po Baskiji ostaja v rumenem

V Ukrajini se končuje 33-i dan ruskih napadov, ki so opustošili predvsem mesta Mariupolj, Harkov in Černigov. Mirovne pogovore v živo bodo predstavniki Ukrajine in Rusije po pričakovanjih nadaljevali jutri v Turčiji. Kot je poudaril posrednik, turški predsednik Erdogan, telefonski pogovori z ruskim in ukrajinskim predsednikom vodijo v pravo smer. V Kijevu kot cilj poudarjajo dogovor o premirju, a vztrajajo, da ne bodo trgovali z ljudmi, ozemljem ali s svojo suverenostjo. Ostala vsebina: Ob množici ukrajinskih beguncev Unija uvaja ukrepe proti zlorabam in trgovini z ljudmi. Slovenija in Hrvaška bi lahko okrepili sodelovanje pri pridobivanju plina in jedrske energije.

Ob nadaljevanju ruske agresije nad Ukrajino so se Združene države Amerike in Evropska unija v skupni izjavi zavezale zmanjšanju evropske odvisnosti od ruske energije in plina ter najostreje obsodile rusko invazijo. Razmere v Ukrajini so še vedno močno zaostrene. Oblasti v Mariupolju so danes sporočile, da je v nedavnem napadu na gledališče, pod katerim se je v zaklonišču skrivalo več sto ljudi, umrlo približno 300 ljudi. Ruske sile še naprej napadajo tudi Harkov, Černigov in nekatera druga mesta, ukrajinske sile pa poročajo, da naj bi se nekatere ruske enote medtem začele umikati.

16-i dan vojne v Ukrajini se nadaljujejo spopadi ob največjih mestih Kijev in Harkov. Po zagotovilih ruske strani bodo humanitarni koridorji za evakuacijo civilistov odprti vsak dan ob 10h po srednjeevropskem času. Kijev to zavrača, saj koridorji vodijo v Rusijo.

KİEV'İN ZOR GECESİ

Războiul lui Putin din Ucraina continuă, în această dimineață mai multe explozii au fost auzite în Kiev și Harkov. În urma unui referendum Belarusul a renunţat la neutralitate şi poate cere arme nucleare Rusiei. Parlamentul României s-a reunit astăzi pentru adoptarea unei declarații de susținere a Ucrainei. Marcel Ciolacu, dar și Florin Cîțu, susțin că trebuie să existe un blocaj total pe teritoriul României al firmelor rusești și al oamenilor de afaceri ruși. Șoșoacă nu crede că războiul este real, iar Daniel Funeriu vrea să-i aresteze pe toți cei care spun ceva pro-Putin. Tema muzicală: Jester Of No Court - Solidarity Forever

Krustpunktā speciālizlaidums. Ukrainā turpinās karš. Ukrainas tauta aizstāvas pret Krievijas prezidenta Putina īstenotu agresīvu uzbrukumu. Pirmās naktis tika raksturotas kā izšķirošas, bija jautājums, kā turēsies Kijeva. Kijeva ir noturējusies, tomēr valsts ir cietusi no sprādzieniem un tagad ar bažām tiek gaidīts, kas notiks tālāk, vai Krievija izmantos smagāku bruņojumu. Sekojam notikumu attīstībai Ukrainā. Komentējam un analizējam notiekošo. "Lielāka uzmanība šodien ir jāpievērš Harkovai," vērtē atvaļinātais NBS pulkvedis Igors Rajevs. Viņš uzskata, ka līdz Kijevas šturmēšanai, ja tāda notiks, Krievijas armijai nepieciešamas vēl pāris dienas.  "Kijeva ir milzīga pilsēta un tādas šturmēšana prasīs milzīgus spēkus no Krievijas puses un arī upurus no krievu armijas puses. Tas ir neizbēgami. Ja ukraiņi nolems` aizstāvēt savu galvaspilsētu, un morāli viņi tam ir gatavi, un viss, kas noticis šajās četrās dienās nerada šaubas, ka viņi cīnīsies par savu galvaspilsētu, tad krieviem klāsies ļoti grūti," atzīst Igors Rajevs. Rajevs arī skaidro, ka notikumu attīstība nebūs tāda, kā Pirmā Čečenijas kara laikā, kad tanku kollona iebrauca pilsētā un čečeni to iznīcināja. Krievi ir mācījušies no savām kļūdām un pamatīgi gatavosies pilsētas šturmēšanai. "Ļoti indikatīvi būs tas, kas notiks Harkovā. Tas parādīs, kādai karadarbībai ir gatavi, vai cels brutalitātes līmeni un līdz kādam līmenim to pacels," atzīst Rajevs. Austrumeiropas politikas pētījumu centra pētnieks Mārcis Balodis atzīst, ka Krievija aktīvi meklē ievanojamiības, nebaidās provocēt un šantažēt.  "Krievija lielā mērā ilgus gadus ir balstījusies uz rietumvalstu vēlmi izvairīties no tiešas konfrontācijas. Šādā veidā Krievija ir mēģinājusi regulāri piespiest Eiropu piekāpties, rēķināties, ka Eiropa būs gatava piekāpties mīļā miera labad," skaidro Mārcis Balodis. Viņš uzskata, ka Krievijas spēki ir arī gatavi cīnīties, lai grautu ukraiņu morālo gatavību cīņai. "Mums ir ziņas, ka Putins vēlējies pakļaut Kijevu līdz pirmdienai. Arī pienāk informācija, ka pie Kijevas tiek savilkti dažāda veida iznīcināšanas ieroči, kas varētu būt ļoti nehumāni, kuru pielietošana varētu radīt lielas ciešanas civiliedzīvotājiem," turpina Artis Pabriks. "Ja tas tā notiks, katram Krievijas karavīram, Krievijas virsniekam jāzina, ka agri vai vēlu mēs brīvajā pasaulē izdarīsim visu, lai ne tikai viņu lielā politiskā vadība, bet lai katrs karavīrs un virsnieks nonāktu starptautiskajā tiesā un tiktu sodīts. Nebūs atrunāšanas, informācija par vienībām, par karavīriem tiek uzkrāta, šis karš beigsies, Ukraina nepadosies. Šie cilvēki nonāks uz apsūdzēto sola. Tas ir jāzina viņu ģimenēm. Apsolām, ka to izdarīsim," pārliecināts Artis Pabriks. Aizsardzības ministrs Artis Pabriks atzīst, kamēr Ukrainas armija turas, Ukrainas teritorija ir ukraiņu rokās, palīdzības piegādes ir iespējamas. "No mana viedokļa skatoties, Latvijā lielākā problēma ir, lai savlaicīgi spētu sakārtot visu dokumentāciju un atļaujas piegādēm, jo liela daļa no tā, ko gatavojamies un piegādājam Ukrainai, šīs preces nav Latvijas izcelsmes. Tas paņem laiku, ja mums būtu savas ražotnes, to varētu izdarīt ātrāk. Katra stunda ir nozīmīga," komentē Artis Pabriks.

Krustpunktā speciālizlaidums: sekojam notikumu attīstībai Ukrainā, komentējam notiekošo, sazināmies ar cilvēkiem Ukrainā un Krievijā. Notiekošo vērtē Austrumeiropas politikas pētījuma centra pētnieks Mārcis Balodis un Latvijas Ārpolitikas institūta direktors Andris Sprūds. "Esam stadijā, kad nezinām visas detaļas. Ir skaidrs, ka tā ir plaša mēroga invāzija," vērtē Sprūds. Viņš arī uzskata, ka ļoti daudz būs atkarīgs arī no Ukrainas tautas vēlmes ņemt rokās ieročus un aizstāvēties. Sazināmies ar Eiropas Parlamenta viceprezidentu Robertu Zīli un Valsts prezidents Egilu Levitu. Krievijas prezidents Vladimirs Putins ceturtdien agri no rīta pavēstīja, ka Krievija ir sākusi militāru operāciju Ukrainā, un aicināja Ukrainas armiju "nolikt ieročus". Drīz pēc tam Krievijas karaspēks sāka uzbrukumu Doneckas un Luhanskas apgabalos. Pienāk ziņas arī par sprādzieniem citās Ukrainas pilsētās (Kijevā, Harkovā, Odesā u.c.), kur Krievija uzbrūk Ukrainas militārās infrastruktūras objektiem.

Viņš atzīst, ka Latvijas stingeriem jau bijis pozitīvs pielietojums Ukrainas pretdarbībā pret Krievijas militāro agresiju. "Mēs varam atļauties atslēgt Krieviju no SWIFT sistēmas. Mums gāzes krātuvēs ir pietiekami daudz gāzes, lai tās pietiktu līdz apkures sezonas beigām," vērtē bijušais Eiropas Savienības enerģētikas komisārs Andris Piebalgs. Viņš atzīst, ka tikai stingras sankcijas ir tas, kā parādīt, ka varam būt solidāri ar Ukrainu. Viņš arī atzīst, ka ir pesimistisks par notikumu attīstību Ukrainā, un šī ir milzīga mēroga okupācijas mēģinājums. Sazināmies ar kolēģi Ukrainā, ar žurnālistu Dmitro Levus. Viņš stāsta, ka atrodas Kijevā, dzīvoklī, kur dzird šaušanas trokšņus, sazinās ar kolēģiem Gomeļā, kur Krievijas specdienests mēģināja izsēdināt desantu. Viņš norāda, ka lielas panikas Kijevā nav, jā, cilvēki pārdzīvo, ir rindas veikalos un aptiekās. Sazināmies ar Latvijas TV žurnālistu Gintu Amoliņu, kurš šobrīd atrodas Ukrainā.

The Jerusalem Post Podcast with Lahav Harkov and Yaakov Katz This week on the Jerusalem Post Podcast, Editor-in-chief Yaakov Katz and Diplomatic Correspondent Lahav Harkov share an exclusive interview with NBA superstar Enes Kanter.  Kanter, a Muslim, has been playing basketball for more than a decade and recently has been using his popularity to help heal the world - talking about issues of social justice and democracy. “Live for others” is Kanter's message, he told the Podcast. “We rise by lifting others.” He said he also has a message of respect: “It does not matter what your religion is, whatever you are, respect other religions and countries.” Kanter has most recently been tweeting about the human rights abuses in Turkey and China. He said that the young generation of Turks is growing up anti-West and antisemitic because Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan regularly shares those messages at his rallies.  “It breaks my heart,” Enes said, “people growing up hating Israel, burning Israeli flags - and this is all Erdogan's fault.” Also on the podcast: We know Omicron is more contagious, however is it more dangerous? This is a question Katz and Harkov tackle as Israel closes itself from the rest of the world once again due to the Omicron variant outbreak.  They argue that Israel might be taking the Omicron variant more seriously than the rest of the world. "Maybe instead of closing the country to foreigners who contribute to the country's economy, there should be more enforcement of existing COVID-19 rules?"  Harkov said that she believes the government should be putting its efforts into convincing unvaccinated citizens to get the vaccine. They also discuss Israel's role as the Jewish state in the lives of Jews who don't live in Israel, as Diaspora leaders have expressed their dissatisfaction over the situation.  And what is a Jerusalem Post Podcast without discussion of Iran? They talk about how the Iranians are sitting down for talks - including the idea of lifting sanctions in exchange for limiting their nuclear program.  Photo credit: Wikimedia Commons

This week on The Jerusalem Post Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Yaakov Katz and Diplomatic Correspondent Lahav Harkov take a moment to discuss the shifting sands in the Middle East as Israeli generals have recently been photographed chatting alongside their Arab counterparts - scenes typically described as a rarity within the geopolitical landscape. While the details of their conversations are left up to interpretation, Katz and Harkov give their own interpretations on what the interactions mean for the security of the Jewish State and Israel's standing throughout the Middle East, with regard to the views of its Arab neighbors. Later on in the episode, Katz and Harkov discuss Israel's request for donor countries to restore their financial contributions to the Palestinian Authority, which have dropped by 85% over the last 13 years, and the effect it would have on the country with regard to the status quo and its status in the international arena. To wrap up the episode, they speak with Israel's Ambassador to United Kingdom Tzipi Hotovely to discuss Israeli and British relations, as well as her brush with violent extremism, after she was evacuated from the London School of Economics (LSE) as students and other pro-Palestinian activists tried to attack her following a speaking engagement just last week.

She said that world leaders have promised to directly address the issues that are exacerbating climate change within their own borders in the years and decades to come. Later in the episode, Harkov sits down with Environmental Protection Minister Tamar Zandberg, who was part of the Israeli delegation for the international conference, to discuss some behind-the-scenes takes from the conference, as well as further details about Israel's efforts to protecting the climate and what the future holds for its use of renewable energy sources.

Jerusalem Post Editor-in-Chief Yaakov Katz and Diplomatic Correspondent Lahav Harkov take a moment to reflect this week on the events of The Jerusalem Post's 10th Annual Conference that took place just last week. In reflection, an interesting discussion arises surrounding the parallels between the effectiveness of a politician and their ability, or inability, to speak English, after Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked received a bit of taunting from the opposition for turning to the conference moderator to clarify the word for "appreciate." Following the discussion of languages, and the diversity it creates in Israel, Katz and Harkov sit down with the Danny Ayalon, who served as Israel Ambassador to the United States from 2002-2006 during the Bush Administration, and take a look back on the life of former US Secretary of State Colin Powell. He passed away earlier this week from COVID complications.  Next, they speak with president of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategic Studies Efraim Inbar about Israel-India relations and the significance of a number of high-level Indian diplomats visiting the country. Additionally, the duo talk to Inbar about India's long-existing defense relationship with Israel. All that and more, on this week's edition of The Jerusalem Post Podcast!

Jerusalem Post Editor-in-Chief Yaakov Katz and Diplomatic Correspondent Lahav Harkov sit down this week to discuss the latest news around Israel in the Jewish world on this week's edition of The Jerusalem Post Podcast. On this week's episode, Katz and Harkov discuss the bombshell Prime Minister Naftali Bennett dropped on the Knesset floor earlier this week, claiming that the Mossad carried out an operation to find the remains and information about Israeli Air Force Navigator Ron Arad, who went missing over Lebanon in 1986 after he was forced to eject from his aircraft after it took on damage. As Israel tries to piece the puzzle together of what exactly happened and why Bennett chose to share this information now, Katz and Harkov sift through the latest revelations coming out from across the world, giving their own opinions and expertise on the matter.

While Israelis and Jews across the world are celebrating the Sukkot holiday, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is preparing for his first-ever appearance in front of the UN General Assembly. Join Katz and Harkov this week as they discuss what they believe will be included in the prime minister's address. Will he talk about Hamas, Iran or the push to block replenishment of the Iron Dome System by the US Congress? How will Bennett's performance compare to Netanyahu's? Katz and Harkov also evaluate the decision not to fund the Iron Dome. Is this just a technical blip, as Foreign Minister Yair Lapid has said, or something far more severe for the defense of the Jewish State? They discuss the support (or lack of support) that the US is giving Israel and the consequences of some anti-Israel views being shared in the House and the Senate by some senior politicians. Later in the episode, Katz and Harkov sit down with Israeli-American evangelical author Joel Rosenberg, who released a new book detailing the Abraham Accords and the changes in the Middle East. They discuss the state evangelical Christian support for Israel, asking whether it has wavered with the passing of the baton from Benjamin Netanyahu to Bennett.

This week the Renegade Report features Jerusalem Post journalist Lahav Harkov. Lahav speaks about the disingenuous nature of implying there is any kind of apartheid in Israel, the situation in the West Bank and Gaza, and the motivation the State has for its strict border security. Roman enquires about the significance of Donald Trump moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, and Jonathan explores some of the changing relationships in the Middle East between Israel and surrounding Arab countries. Ms Harkov speaks about anti-semitism in Europe, comments on immigration into Israel, and gives a well-laid argument for Zionism.
