The Iranian foreign minister has warned that letting the US use British bases constitutes “participation in aggression”.

With Michael Walker, Phil Miller, Esfandyar Batmanghelidj and Richard Hames.

Iran's Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib has been killed in an overnight Israeli strike.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian described the latest killing as ''cowardly". Also: an Iranian petrochemical complex on the world's largest natural gas field is hit by Israeli airstrikes - a significant escalation against Iran's energy infastructure.

Cuba was receiving a third of its oil from Venezuela until a US operation removed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, in January. No fuel had entered the country in three months and the capital, Havana, has seen blackouts of up to 15 hours a day.Protests in Cuba come as a reaction to electricity blackouts and shortages of food, fuel and medicine, which have been worsened by a US blockade on oil. This has affected hospitals, public transport, education, rubbish collection and heavily impacted Cuba's economy.It's been reported that the protest began peacefully but grew more destructive as people started throwing rocks and starting fires. Five people have been arrested in the central city of Moron over the weekend after destroying Communist office buildings.Find full subtitles for this episode at: https://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/learning-english-from-the-news_2026/260318Are you scared of speaking English?

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up — an update on the war with Iran. I'll walk you through where things stand on day seventeen of Operation Epic Fury, including why Tehran's missile and drone attacks across the Gulf appear to be slowing—and how much longer the campaign could last. Later in the show — new details emerge about the man behind the attack on a Jewish preschool in Michigan. Israeli officials now say the suspect's brother was a Hezbollah commander, raising new questions about possible terrorist connections. Plus — Cuba's power grid collapses, plunging the island into darkness as the country's economic crisis deepens and Havana begins signaling a potential opening to economic talks. And in today's Back of the Brief — Russia temporarily shuts down mobile internet in parts of Moscow as the Kremlin tests new systems designed to control online information during protests or political unrest.

The Havana Syndrome coverup—for years, bizarre symptoms were labeled “mass hysteria”, until a covert CIA op secured a portable device capable of delivering brain-scrambling sound pulses; A report card on this year's flu shot; Omega-3s combat “neuroticism”, dementia—they also tame depression and improve cognitive function and memory in adolescents; A caller with duodenitis wants to know if she should follow advice to take Prilosec for the rest of her life; Is the shingles vaccine worth taking? 

Right on Radio Sunday Update: The host delivers a rapid-fire, opinionated briefing on major global developments, blending current events, strategic analysis, and biblical framing. Topics covered include recent U.S. strikes on Kharg (Karg) Island in the Straits of Hormuz, analysis of footage suggesting internal Iranian violence, and claims about motives and outcomes — including control of petroleum resources and a proposed exit strategy that relies on other nations policing the strait while the U.S. recoups costs. The host also discusses broader geopolitical realignment: references to the Club of Rome's 10-region maps, the decline of the Commonwealth, possible roles for China, Russia, and Israel, and the formation of regional blocs in the Western Hemisphere. Specific regional updates include Cuba's shifting stance and potential integration into a North/South American alliance, actions against cartels in Mexico, pressure on Canada's government and Five Eyes intelligence relationships, and the U.S. strategic posture enabled by new hypersonic capabilities. The episode interweaves skepticism of mainstream media, warnings about misinformation and AI deepfakes, cultural commentary (including the song “Hope of the Nations”), and the host's religious perspective on unfolding events. Listeners are promised a more detailed, theoretical follow-up show with visual aids, and the episode closes with community-focused, faith-based encouragements to love God, family, and neighbor.

In 1958 Cuba, Formula One legend Juan Manuel Fangio arrived in Havana expecting fast cars, big prize money and glamorous nightlife. Instead, on the eve of the race, rebels fighting the regime of Fulgencio Batista pulled off one of the most audacious kidnappings in sporting history. In Part 1, we explore the explosive mix of motorsport, mafia money, revolution and how the road to the Havana Grand Prix ran straight through the chaos of the Cuban Revolution.

Hagar Chemali and Marc Polymeropoulos join Ron Steslow to discuss the explosive new reporting about the CIA's coverup of Anomalous Health Incidents—also known as Havana Syndrome—and the dangerous classified weapon that causes them. They break down what the latest investigations reveal: evidence that there's a device that could cause these symptoms, growing questions about whether the government tried to discredit victims, and why these revelations could force a broader reckoning inside the intelligence community.  Marc reflects on the personal toll of the saga, the “moral injury” of feeling abandoned by former colleagues, and why accountability matters now.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:  First—two violent incidents on American soil are now drawing the attention of federal investigators: an attack on a synagogue outside Detroit and a deadly shooting inside an ROTC classroom at Old Dominion University in Virginia. Authorities say the Virginia case is being investigated as an act of terrorism, while the synagogue attack is being treated as a targeted act of violence against the Jewish community. I'll have the details. Later in the show—Cuba's communist leadership is acknowledging talks with the United States for the first time in years. We'll look at what's behind the diplomatic opening and why the island's deepening energy crisis may be forcing Havana to the table.

President Donald Trump today declared that the United States is “totally destroying” the Iranian regime, saying its Navy, Air Force, and leadership are gone. Meanwhile, the Pentagon and the White House condemn media coverage of the operation. Meanwhile, six U.S. service members were killed in a military aircraft accident in western Iraq. Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the crash of the U.S. refueling aircraft was “not the result of hostile or friendly fire.”In Michigan, officials are calling yesterday's attack on a local synagogue “a targeted act of violence against the Jewish community.” The suspect—who authorities say drove his truck into the house of worship—was a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Lebanon. New details are also emerging after yesterday's deadly shooting at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. Authorities say the suspect had previously served time in prison for attempting to support the ISIS terrorist group.New signs of contact between Washington and Havana are emerging as Cuba struggles with economic collapse, prolonged blackouts, and fuel shortages caused by the loss of Venezuelan oil. Cuban communist regime leader Miguel Díaz-Canel confirmed today that officials have recently held discussions with representatives of the United States, saying the contacts were facilitated by international intermediaries and remain in the early stages.

Joyce talks about :The Havana syndrome, Radio Frequency weapons, and the effort by the American government to hide it. Police at Epstein New Mexico ranch looking for bodies of two girls reportedly killed, no one talking about it. People coming forward stating that they were drugged and woke up around medical equipment things harvested from their bodies.Senator Fetterman, seemingly the only Democrat to stand up to his peers about the US/ Israel military action in Iran. Democrats appear to be more against President Trump than against the war with Iran. Ignoring or misunderstanding the jobs report numbers. Unexpected down turn but what does that actually mean?

Joyce talks about: The late Jessie Jackson's son called out Barak Obama, Joe Biden, and Bill Clinton for being too political at his father's funeral and claims they did not really know his father. Australia giving sanctuary to Iranian athletes trapped in the war. President Trump says Iran's defenses are 83% down and the mission is almost complete. The new leader in Iran is a person who lost his wife, children, and father at the hands of the US. Oil prices. Iranian Elementary school bombing. President Trump says the missile used did not come from the US or Israel.

When life gives you all sorts of junk and a few cups of coffee, you get a smoothie episode (ie: it's in there)...  It was kicked into gear when we watched a dude in Queens bury his neighbor's car during the last snowstorm because their dog won't shut up.  Seems reasonable.  ...Maybe they parked too close to his driveway as well.  Neighbors.  Be considerate and bury the car they use less.  There's a report on alien technology: an app that warns us about glass-holes and their Fakebook spy glasses, concerns that our constant car shopping has gone mental(ist), and a guy in Norway with so much T.D.S. that he Havana Syndromed himself.  Also: Kalifornistan's fuel island is so desperate they're importing gas from the Caribbean, but their highways are so good that the state has four of the five most dangerous superslabs in the country.  Nice work, CA. More in there: Rob Zombie's forgotten hit "Living Dead Tree (Laying on the Roof)", not pulling a Sagan, plus lots of Red Fang, including tales from Pacific Beach at the Doc's and why "Wires" is a gearhead must-see.

Cuba is facing the greatest existential threat it has seen in decades. Trash is filling streets, because garbage trucks can't make the rounds. Rolling blackouts, rising food prices and cuts to transportation, university classes, and hospitals amid a gas shortage, the likes of which the country hasn't seen in years.US President Donald Trump, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and other officials have made it clear that they aren't interested in anything less than regime change. And they're going after that goal full throttle. The United States is now imposing an oil blockade on the island nation that is pushing it to the brink – and hitting its most vulnerable residents the hardest.In this episode, we look at Cuba, the history of the more than 65-year-old US embargo on Cuba and Trump's actions, which are pushing the country to the brink.This is Episode 7 of Under the Shadow, Season 2.Under the Shadow is an investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, telling the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present. Season 2 responds in real time to the Trump administration's onslaught on Latin America.Hosted by Latin America-based journalist Michael Fox.Many thanks to Belly of the Beast for the interview with Liz Oliva Fernandez and the use of the sound from several of their videos.This podcast is produced in partnership between The Real News Network and NACLA.Theme music by Michael Fox's band, Monte Perdido.

Alex breaks down the rapidly escalating drug war in Ecuador, where U.S.-backed military operations are targeting powerful gangs that control one of the world's main cocaine routes. As Washington deepens its alliance with Ecuador's government, the conflict raises bigger geopolitical questions about America's growing role in Latin America. And with economic pressure mounting on Havana, Alex asks the question now being whispered in Washington: Is Cuba next?

Catherine Chinatree is a socially engaged multi-disciplinary artist based in Margate. She works in various contexts, including in the public realm. Her work focuses on the idea of shared “reality,” with an emphasis on identity, dualism, and cultural fluidity. This exploration is supported by research in anthropology, social surrealism, and human behaviour. Being of Welsh, Caribbean and Irish descent, she is deeply rooted in hybrid culture and seeks inspiration from the outside world of everyday life, our daily activities, symbolism, rituals, and the people she meets.Chinatree's recent series of works invites the viewers on a visual journey through the realms of personal and subcultures exploring ideas of youth, class, memory and nostalgia, it highlights optimism & transformative moments that can alter society. Chinatree aims to evoke a palette that reflects the bass-heavy underground movement, artificial lighting and a sense of the unknown going hand in hand with the uncertainty of teenage years. At that time, pioneers of a new music genre looked to the future, with nods to outer space, and ideas of otherworldly beings, all of which are reflected in this work. The Crystallisation of the urban experience is layered and sampled, reconnecting it with the present. Working-class youth - black, brown and white united to dance is a testament to sound system culture and the creation of a new reality reflecting urban Britain, black roots & experimental sounds. With close ties to Leicester, Chinatree's hometown, the work is supported by research and recordings from original attendees, event organisers, the venue's history and future plans. Blending new footage, lived experiences and digital memories. Described by many as one of the darkest raves attended “Some shadow demon business”, the work illuminates its legacy. Catherine Chinatree studied at Wimbledon College of Arts, graduating with a Masters in Fine Art. She was awarded the Ferdynand Zweig Arts travel Scholarship award, and set up a collaborative engagement project between the UK and Havana, Cuba. She has been shortlisted for the Mercury Music Arts Prize, Nasty Woman NYC and The Griffin x Elephant New Graduates Arts Prize. She completed an artist residency with Elephant Magazine and has been sponsored by Liquitex Paints. She was commissioned by Artquest for their 20th anniversary, which was subsequently displayed at UAL in Holborn, London. Recently she was commissioned by Artist Globe for The World Reimagined project, which is on permanent show at the World Museum in Liverpool. She created a mural for Rise Up Residency Mural in Margate and as part of the Commemorative Installation Campaign, created a Tapestry for the UK Covid-19 Inquiry.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 189-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 33,484 on turnover of $9.9-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan rebounded sharply Thursday, posting the fifth-largest single-day gain on record, as bargain hunters returned after reports the United States and Iran could enter negotiations eased geopolitical concerns. Among major technology stocks, chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing rose 1.88 percent to close at $1,900 NT, and other large-cap tech firms also advanced. Memory-related stocks staged a strong rebound as well, while shipping stocks moved in the opposite direction. Analysts say investors will continue to monitor developments in the Middle East, including the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, while the long-term growth outlook for Taiwan's artificial intelligence supply chain remains intact (完好) despite potential technical corrections. Taiwan signs double taxation pact with Tuvalu Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung has signed an agreement to avoid double taxation and donate funds to cover the maintenance costs of Tuvalu's first undersea cable. Lin is currently visiting Tuvalu as a special envoy of President Lai Ching-te. According to the foreign minister, the agreement was signed during a banquet hosted by Tuvalu's Prime Minister Feleti Teo, and is expected to boost trade and encourage Taiwanese investment in Tuvalu. Lin also donated funds to cover the maintenance costs for Tuvalu's first undersea cable, to help ensure (確保) the country's communications resilience during the banquet. Lin and his delegation arrived in Tuvalu on Wednesday on what is his third trip to the Pacific ally. Ukraine Sharing Expertise on Shahed Drones Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the United States and its allies in the Middle East are seeking Ukraine's expertise in countering (對抗) Iran's Shahed drones. Zelenskyy says various countries, including the United States, have approached Ukraine for help in defending against the Iranian drones. He said he has spoken in recent days with the leaders of the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait about possible cooperation. Russia has fired tens of thousands of Shaheds at Ukraine since it invaded its neighbor just over four years ago. Iran has responded with the same type of drones to joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iranian targets. Pentagon officially labels Anthropic a supply chain risk The US Defense Department has formally labelled (標記為) the artificial intelligence firm Anthropic a supply chain risk, following a dispute over its efforts to limit how the government could use its products. Anthropic has said it intends to challenge the label in court. Ira Spitzer reports from San Francisco. Cuba Power Outage Continues Swaths of Cuba remain without power nearly a day after a massive blackout hit the western part of the island in the latest outage blamed on a fragile (脆弱的) electric grid and a lack of fuel. Crews worked overnight to repair a broken boiler at one of Cuba's largest thermoelectric plants. Officials have warned that it could take three to four days for power to be fully restored. State media reported on Thursday that 52% of customers in Havana have power, as well as 30 hospitals and 10 water supply stations. That was the I.C.R.T.

Cuba Faces Total Grid Failure Amid Severe National Oil ShortagesEvan Ellis describes Cuba's widespread blackouts caused by aging infrastructure and lack of fuel, while the US facilitates humanitarian oil shipments to private entities. (5)1915 Havana

Independent journalist Ed Augustin speaks from Havana about how Cubans are coping with decades of sanctions and whether there could be a US war on Cuba.

Convidados: Cristiana Mesquita, diretora de notícias para o Caribe da Associated Press (AP), em Havana; e Ariel Palacios, correspondente da Globo e da GloboNews para América Latina. Desde a Revolução Cubana, em 1959, a relação entre Estados Unidos e Cuba é de rivalidade, e a Ilha convive há décadas com um embargo econômico. Nas últimas semanas, contudo, os cubanos estão experimentando algo inédito: viver sob escassez severa de petróleo, que afeta a distribuição de alimentos e remédios, paralisa o transporte público e provoca apagões diários. Cuba produz apenas 40% do petróleo que precisa para manter a economia de pé e tem a Venezuela como sua maior fornecedora – uma parceria na qual oferta serviços de saúde e de inteligência em troca de preços muito abaixo da média de mercado. Desde a captura de Nicolas Maduro pelos Estados Unidos, essa torneira fechou. Neste episódio, Victor Boyadjian entrevista Cristiana Mesquita, diretora de notícias para o Caribe da Associated Press (AP), para contar como está a vida das cerca de 10 milhões de pessoas que vivem na Ilha. Cristiana, que mora em Havana há quatro anos e visita o país com frequência desde a década de 1990, fala sobre a rotina dos moradores da capital cubana e o sentimento deles em relação ao regime. Depois, a conversa é com Ariel Palacios, correspondente da Globo e da GloboNews para América Latina. Ele explica o que há de diferente nesta crise em Cuba e o que faz a Ilha despertar interesse na geopolítica global.

In this episode, Kelsi Sheren interviews Jesse Beltran, a former president of the International Center Against the Abuse of Covert Technologies. They discuss the phenomenon of Havana Syndrome, its symptoms, and the challenges faced by individuals seeking help. Beltran shares his experiences with frequency detection, biosensors, and the implications of nanotechnology in medicine. The conversation delves into the ethical concerns surrounding the pharmaceutical supply chain and the potential for emerging technologies to be used in neurological warfare. Throughout the discussion, the importance of medical transparency and human rights is emphasized. In this conversation, Kelsi Sheren and Jesse Beltran delve into the complex issues surrounding human rights, behavior modification, and the implications of modern medical practices. They explore the historical context of experimentation on vulnerable populations, the psychological effects of media manipulation, and the potential for false memories to influence societal beliefs. The discussion also touches on the ethical dilemmas posed by euthanasia and the legal frameworks that allow for non-consensual experimentation. Amidst these heavy topics, they highlight the importance of natural remedies and the hope for a future where human rights are respected and preserved.FOLLOW: Stop 3024.com Mindnexuslive.com Chapters00:00 Introduction and Context01:12 Jesse Beltran's Background and Expertise03:37 Havana Syndrome and Its Symptoms09:37 The Mental Health System and Its Challenges12:13 Community Response and Initial Findings15:01 Frequency Detection and Testing Methods19:29 Biosensors and Surgical Removal22:30 Nanotechnology and Its Implications25:22 Nanorobots and Their Potential Uses29:44 Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Concerns30:12 Emerging Technologies and Neurological Warfare34:34 The Future of Human Control and Manipulation43:49 Experiences of Silence in Conflict Zones44:09 Spiritual Awakening in Iran45:36 Behavior Modification and Human Rights46:32 Prison Experimentation and Human Rights Violations48:39 The Power of False Memories51:43 Mass Manipulation and Media Control54:40 The Impact of Medical Procedures on Human Rights56:52 Euthanasia and Societal Control01:00:12 Hope Amidst Medical and Psychological Challenges01:02:06 Legal Loopholes in Non-Consensual Experimentation01:04:30 Natural Remedies and Their Efficacy01:10:44 The Future of Human Rights and Genetic Modification- - - - - - - - - - - -One Time Donation! - Paypal - https://paypal.me/brassandunityBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsiBurnsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kelsie_sheren/Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com

Francisco de Saavedra's American Revolutionary War: The Spanish Contribution to the Battle of Yorktown (James Giesler, 2025) by James Giesler is the story of how the decisive victory in the American Revolutionary War, at the Battle of Yorktown in October 1781, was the result of French and Spanish cooperation in the Caribbean. This cooperation started with Francisco de Saavedra's arrival in Havana in early 1781. Although Spain had joined the war against Britain in 1779 little had been done by the Havana War Council, or Junta de Generales, to achieve Spain's war aims. Saavedra united the Junta and established a close liaison with a French naval squadron which was present in Havana. This resulted in the fall of British held Pensacola in West Florida, in May 1781, to forces led by Bernardo de Gálvez. Saavedra would go on to meet Lt. General de Grasse in St. Domingue (Haiti) who was arriving from France with a large fleet. Together they agreed a plan of action for French and Spanish forces for the next nine months known as the de Grasse-Saavedra convention. As a result, de Grasse was able to sail promptly to Chesapeake Bay with a large fleet, troops, artillery and desperately needed Spanish silver dollars to fund the Yorktown campaign. De Grasse's forces united with those of generals Washington and Rochambeau and trapped the British army at Yorktown in September 1781. Together they would deliver the coup de grace that led the British to abandon the war in North America. Saavedra would go on to play a significant role in the war as an adviser to the French and Spanish courts. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

For sixty years Washington and Havana have been having a geopolitical tango fuelled by obsession and ideology. The island nation of Cuba has been a socialist splinter in the finger of the Florida coastline, its regime infecting the region. Now, with the toppling of Nicolás Maduro and Venezuelan oil tightly controlled by the US, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel could be next. To get into the finer details of the US's new found dominance in the Caribbean, Venetia is joined by The Telegraph's foreign reporter, Lily Shanagher.Plus, former national security advisor John Bolton, voices the need for regime change in Venezuela, Iran and Cuba. Coining the phrase ‘Troika of Tyranny' in 2018, Bolton has had Cuba in his sights for many years as a rogue state. So what should happen next in the region? John Bolton lays bare the truth about Trump's decision making and the need for swift action.Producer: Peter ShevlinExecutive Producer: Louisa Wells► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

Today, Jess, Les, and Andy unpack a deadly and still-unfolding incident off the coast of Cuba, where Cuban authorities opened fire on a Florida-registered speedboat, killing one U.S. resident. Havana claims the vessel carried weapons and gear that could have been used for a terrorist attack and Secretary of State Marco Rubio has described the episode as an “unusual incident.” What exactly do we know about the incident? Is this an isolated maritime confrontation or the kind of flashpoint that could provoke a major U.S. response? How does the U.S. military's build up in the Middle East impact how Washington may respond to this episode?Check out the answers to these questions and more in this episode of Fault Lines.@nottvjessjones@lestermunson@andykeiserLike what we're doing here?

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: First up — a high stakes shootout on the high seas leaves four dead after Cuban forces open fire on a U.S.-registered speedboat. Havana claims it foiled an armed terrorist infiltration, but with nearly all the details coming from the Cuban government, serious questions remain. Later in the show — Russia's asymmetric warfare campaign against Europe appears to be expanding underground. New reports allege secret tunnels are being used to funnel migrants into European territory, with specialists from the Middle East reportedly recruited to construct the routes.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: First up — we're getting a revealing look at the White House's quiet strategy for Cuba, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly opens backchannel discussions not with Havana's president, Miguel Díaz-Canel, but with the grandson of Raul Castro. Later in the show — another round of trilateral peace talks between the United States, Russia, and Ukraine wraps up with little to show. Despite diplomatic efforts, the battlefield reality remains largely unchanged, raising fresh questions about whether negotiations can gain traction anytime soon.

Havana-based journalist Liz Oliva Fernández of Belly of the Beast joins us for an interview about the economic siege of Cuba by the United States. We talk about the looming specter of regime change and the collapse of Cuba's healthcare system and power under the weight of a decades-long blockade. (NOTE: Liz's connection was a little spotty so the ending of the interview is a little abrupt.) [This is the second half of our recent premium episode. If you would like to hear the first half where Felix and Will recap recent news such as the El Paso airspace closure and James Fishback's run for governor, subscribe to patreon.com/chapotraphouse].
