From where's Lavrov to whether it's time for Europe to speak to Putin directly, some questions with wider significance raised during my recent hectic trip to Finland. And, in the second half, how should we think about the likely fall of Pokrovsk and what to make of Ukraine's Midas Case corruption scandal -- and how it's being covered in Russia?The podcast's corporate partner and sponsor is Conducttr, which provides software for innovative and immersive crisis exercises in hybrid warfare, counter-terrorism, civil affairs and similar situations.You can also follow my blog, In Moscow's Shadows, and become one of the podcast's supporting Patrons and gain question-asking rights and access to exclusive extra materials including the (almost-) weekly Govorit Moskva news briefing right here.

Finnland – für Kinder im Geografie-Unterricht ist es oft der „Hase, der die Hecke schneidet“, da oben im Norden genau zwischen der skandinavischen Halbinsel und Russland. Und in dieser Sandwichposition zwischen den Kulturen hat sich eines der am dünnsten besiedelten Länder Europas eine einzigartige Identität geschaffen, die weit mehr ist als Sauna, Mumins und Nokia. Mit der Fähre steuern Michael Richmann und Merle Schaack das erste Ziel ihrer Reise an: Helsinki, seit zwei Jahren laut Global Destination Index die nachhaltigste Reisedestination der Welt. Wer im Winter kein großes Glück mit dem Wetter hat, fühlt sich draußen vielleicht an die spezielle und bisweilen Triste Atmosphäre aus den Filmen des berühmten Regisseurs Aki Kaurismäki erinnert. Aber hinter so mancher Tür verbergen sich auch bunte Überraschungen, zum Beispiel die Geschichte des Finnischen Tangos. Mit dem Zug geht es dann ins weiße Winter-Wonderland in den Norden, nach Rovaniemi. Die selbsternannte Weihnachtsmannstadt boomt bei Fans des Polarlichts und der Husky-Touren. Und wer die Möglichkeiten der nordischen Kälte vollumfänglich ausschöpfen will, gönnt sich eine Nacht in dem Hotel, das im Frühjahr zurück in den See fließt. Hier am Polarkreis bringt der Tourismus aber auch Kurioses mit sich. So erlebt Rovaniemi eine wahre Winterkleidungsflut, weil die dicke Jacke auf dem Weg zurück oft nicht mehr in den Koffer voller Souvenirs passt. Aber was wäre ein Touristenmagnet ohne findige Geschäftsleute? Und so findet sich auch im Winter-Idyll zwischen Wanderungen auf vereisten Flüssen und nur mit Feuer beheizten Wildnishütten so manches Beispiel für klassisch nordischen Pragmatismus - und viel Stoff fürs Reisetagebuch.

Trystwch Y Fenywod sagen von sich, sie seien als Band auf Tour extrem langweilig. Wir sind uns nicht da nicht so sicher. Zwischen Auftritten bei Showcase-Festivals wie Les Nuits oder Le Guess Who machten sie in Sleepy Zöri halt, um im Helsinki zu spielen. In unserem Interview sprachen wir über Goth-Subkulturen früher und heute, der Entstehung ihres ersten Albums und dem wilden Jahr, das sie seither erlebt haben. Bald verloren wir die Zeit aus dem Blick, sodass das Interview nur in verkürzter Form in unserer Sendung Platz hatte - hier das vollständige Gespräch nachgeliefert.
Das hauseigene Musikmagazin im Radio Stadtfilter; von unserer Musikredaktion sorgfältig ausgesuchte Release-Perlen, Künstler:innen-Interviews und Festivalreflexionen. Diese Woche mit Batbait, Héloïse, Marmozets, Milena Patagonia feat. Dashcam*Devi und dem Album der Woche von Hellroom Projectors. Im zweiten Teil der Sendung sprechen wir mit Trystwch Y Fenywod, die letzte Woche im Helsinki ihr erstes Schweizer Konzert gespielt haben. Ihr erstes Album erschien Ende 2024 und traf sofort einen Nerv, nicht nur bei uns. Wir sprechen über Goth-Subkulturen früher und heute, der Entstehung ihrer Musik und über die Resonanz, die sie selbst überrascht hat. In der Hörprobe hört ihr einen Zusammenschnitt und hier zusätztlich das komplette Gespräch. Eine Sendung produziert von Omar Fra und Simeon Thompson.
En La Puerta Cósmica, Juan José Plans nos conduce hasta los bosques nevados del sur de Finlandia, donde el 7 de enero de 1970 dos hombres comunes —el leñador Arno Heinonen y el campesino Esco Bilho, atléticos, sobrios y de carácter tranquilo— vivieron uno de los encuentros más desconcertantes de la historia ufológica europea. Mientras atravesaban un paraje cercano a Einharby, una luz en el cielo —brumosa, silenciosa, ajena a todo lo conocido— comenzó a girar sobre ellos hasta descender a apenas quince metros de altura. El objeto, discoide y metálico, expulsaba bocanadas de humo y un extraño tubo luminoso que descendía hacia el suelo. Del interior surgió un ser: delgado, pálido, con un rostro casi sin ojos, vestido con un traje ceñido y brillando con un fulgor fosforescente. En torno a los testigos, chispas de colores estallaban sobre la nieve sin causarles dolor. Una nube densa lo envolvió todo… y, tan súbitamente como había aparecido, el objeto desapareció, dejando a ambos hombres aturdidos, enfermos, con la piel insensible y la visión dañada. Su orina adquirió un tono oscuro. Caminaban como si hubieran recibido un golpe invisible. Los médicos que los examinaron no encontraban explicación clara: presión sanguínea anómala, rostros hinchados, síntomas nerviosos. ¿Miedo? ¿Radiación? ¿Algo completamente distinto? Expertos como el profesor Mati Turi, de la Universidad de Helsinki, consideraron que los efectos descritos podían corresponder a una sobreexposición a radiación de origen desconocido. Otros especialistas, como Gostor Ren, insistieron en la credibilidad de los testigos, su nula inclinación a la fantasía y la coincidencia del fenómeno con otros avistamientos en la zona. El episodio se adentra más tarde en otros casos paralelos —como el de Raidar Salvesen, en Noruega— donde testigos describen objetos discoides silenciosos, luces abrasadoras y efectos fisiológicos parecidos. Como siempre en La Vuelta al Mundo en 80 Enigmas, Juan José Plans invita al oyente a reflexionar: ¿qué son estas luces que surcan los cielos del norte? ¿Fenómenos atmosféricos desconocidos? ¿Artefactos de tecnología avanzada? ¿O señales de que, quizá, ya hemos cruzado inadvertidamente una puerta cósmica? Con una narración envolvente y testimonios inquietantes, el episodio explora no solo el misterio de lo ocurrido en Einharby, sino la gran pregunta que sobrevuela la humanidad desde hace décadas: ¿qué es lo que realmente se esconde tras los objetos voladores no identificados? https://www.edenex.es

Tähän jaksoon sain vieraaksi tuoreen kirjailijan pohtimaan vaativan mielen ihmeellistä maailmaa. Käymme läpi mm. miten pidetään "paketti kasassa" vaativassa ja kiireisessä arjessa? Mihin tarpeeseen Vaativa mieli -kirja haluttiin kirjoittaa? Millaisia väärinymmärryksiä vaativaan mieleen usein liitetään? Mistä syntyy ihmisen tarve vaatia itseltään jotain? Mistä aineksista vaativuus rakentuu? Miten löytää tasapaino vaativuuden ja armollisuuden välille? Miten kohdistaa vaativuus oikeaan suuntaan niin, että saavutetaan omat tavoitteet? Milloin vaativuus on hyvästä ja mitkä ovat kovan vaatimustason edellytykset? Miten käsitellä pettymyksiä jos asetettuja tavoitteita ei saavuta? Miten vaativuus käännetään positiiviseksi asiaksi niin, että se kirittää hyvällä tavalla meitä?

Blending Finnish elegance with Swedish heritage, this November feast pays homage to St. Martin of Tours and centuries of Nordic culinary ritual. From the mysterious svartsoppa to the perfectly roasted goose confit and comforting äppelkaka, Sam-Erik recounts a night where history, hospitality, and heritage came alive through flavor and fellowship.
This is AI x Multilateralism, a mini-series on The Next Page, where experts help us unpack the many ideas and issues at the nexus of AI and international cooperation. What does it mean to be AI literate, especially for the world's diplomats leading negotiations on behalf of their countries? We're joined by Dr. Jérôme Duberry, Senior Lecturer of International and Development Studies, Co-Director of Executive Education and the Head of the Tech Hub at the Geneva Graduate Institute. There, his research includes AI literacy across society, including among diplomats, and why this is critical to understanding the impact and potential of these technologies in our world. Jérôme shares what AI literacy means for diplomats, and why both a technical and societal understanding of these technologies is critical for mitigating the risks of exclusion of many parts of society in AI development and deployment. He also shares the importance of culturally sensitive and accessible AI training, and the role of science and technology diplomacy to ensure all countries can participate fairly in AI governance.

Tillaga demókrata um að draga ný kjördæmamörk sem eru talin þeim hagstæð var samþykkt og allt er þetta talið merki um að tæplega einu ári eftir að Donald Trump tók við embætti forseta sé pendúllinn að sveiflast.

Koska unijaksot ovat olleet supersuosittuja, päätettiin ottaa yksi lisää ja tuoda mukaan näkökulmaa, josta harvemmin puhutaan: naisen unen erityispiirteet. Vieraan kanssa käydään läpi mm. miten naisen unentarpeet poikkeavat miehen unesta? Onko älylaitteiden suurempi haitta uneen liittyen kirkas valo vai informaatio, jota ruudusta tulee? Miten ruutuaika ylipäätään vaikuttaa meidän uneen? Onko kuorsaaminen vaarallista terveydelle? Miten ferritiini ja uni kytkeytyvät toisiinsa? Miten vuorotyöläisen, tietotyöläisen ja fyysistä työtä tekevien unentarpeet eroavat toisistaan? Miten uni, ravinto ja liikunta ovat kytköksissä toisiinsa? Miten vaihdevuodet vaikuttavat uneen?

Khoảng 20 chuyến công du đến 20 nước trong vòng hơn một năm giữ chức tổng bí thư đảng Cộng Sản Việt Nam, ông Tô Lâm có lẽ là nhà lãnh đạo đảng công du nước ngoài nhiều nhất. Trong khuôn khổ những chuyến công du này, Việt Nam nâng cấp Đối tác Chiến lược Toàn diện với 6 nước, và Đối tác Chiến lược với 5 nước khác. Dưới thời ông Tô Lâm, Việt Nam đang “quốc tế hóa” vai trò của tổng bí thư. Khi đưa tin về chuyến công du Anh Quốc và Bắc Ireland của ông Tô Lâm, từ 28-30/10/2025, hãng tin Anh Reuters nhận định nhà lãnh đạo quyền lực nhất của Việt Nam, ông Tô Lâm, đã đóng vai trò trung tâm trong việc định hình chính sách đối ngoại kể từ khi trở thành tổng bí thư đảng Cộng Sản vào năm ngoái (2024), một nỗ lực trước đây do chủ tịch nước và thủ tướng dẫn đầu. Cho thế giới thấy nhà lãnh đạo thực sự ở Việt Nam Ngay sau khi chính thức được bầu làm tổng bí thư, tại buổi họp báo ngày 03/08/2024, ông Tô Lâm có bài phát biểu “khẳng định kế thừa và phát huy những thành quả cách mạng mà cố tổng bí thư Nguyễn Phú Trọng và các thế hệ lãnh đạo đi trước đã gây dựng”. Điểm này đang được ông Tô Lâm phát triển mạnh mẽ hơn, theo nhận định của giáo sư danh dự Carl Thayer, Đại học New South Wales : “Tổng bí thư Tô Lâm đang tận dụng sự lãnh đạo của mình để phát huy di sản của người tiền nhiệm Nguyễn Phú Trọng, người đã chính thức hóa vai trò của tổng bí thư trong quan hệ đối ngoại của Việt Nam. Tổng bí thư Trọng đã được lãnh đạo chính phủ Anh và Nhật Bản, hai nền dân chủ tự do, đón tiếp, và được tổng thống Barack Obama tiếp đón tại Nhà Trắng. Ông Trọng cũng đã tiếp đón tổng thống Joe Biden tại Hà Nội”. Theo thông lệ, chuyến công du nước ngoài đầu tiên của tân tổng bí thư đảng Cộng Sản Việt Nam là đến Lào, sau đó là Cam Bốt và Trung Quốc - nước láng giềng rộng lớn mà ngay vào thời kỳ đầu thành lập nước Việt Nam Dân chủ Cộng hòa, Việt Nam xác định rõ chính sách đối với Trung Quốc “là phải thân thiện”. Tiến sĩ Vũ Khang, học giả thỉnh giảng tại Đại học Boston, Mỹ, nhận định với RFI Tiếng Việt : “Việc Việt Nam quốc tế hóa vai trò của tổng bí thư thực ra không có gì là bất ngờ. Một trong những ưu tiên hàng đầu của Việt Nam là bảo vệ an ninh của thể chế, và một trong những cách đó là nâng cao vai trò của tổng bí thư trên trường quốc tế. Với các nước chung chí hướng như là Bắc Triều Tiên, Trung Quốc hay Lào thì đây cũng không phải là một sự thay đổi lớn do vai trò của quan hệ kênh Đảng từ lâu đã được khẳng định”. Đọc thêmViệt Nam : Tổng bí thư Tô Lâm thăm Bắc Triều Tiên, dự lễ 80 năm thành lập đảng Lao Động Tiếp theo là hàng loạt vòng công du cho đến cuối năm 2024. Ví dụ, tháng 09/2024, tổng bí thư Tô Lâm đến dự Hội nghị thượng đỉnh Tương Lai, Đại Hội Đồng Liên Hiệp Quốc và làm việc ở Hoa Kỳ. Sau đó, ông công du nước Cuba anh em. Đến đầu tháng 10, ông công du Mông Cổ, tiếp theo là Ireland và Pháp. Đến tháng 11 là Malaysia. Trong những chuyến công du này, Việt Nam nâng cấp quan hệ lên thành Đối tác Chiến lược Toàn Diện với ba nước Mông Cổ, Pháp, Malaysia. Các nước ASEAN mở đầu cho vòng công du năm 2025 của tổng bí thư Tô Lâm. Tháng 03, ông thăm Singapore, Indonesia, nâng cấp quan hệ lên mức cao nhất với hai nước. Với những hoạt động này, tổng bí thư “đang đảm nhiệm vai trò nhà ngoại giao cấp cao, thường là nhiệm vụ của chủ tịch nước hoặc thủ tướng”, theo ý kiến của giáo sư Zachary Abuza, Đại học Chiến tranh Quốc gia Hoa Kỳ ở Washington : “Bằng cách này, ông Lâm đã khẳng định rõ ràng rằng ông coi chức vụ quyền lực nhất của đảng Cộng sản Việt Nam là chức vụ có chức năng điều hành trong đảng-nhà nước, điều mà những người tiền nhiệm của ông, những người chỉ tập trung vào chính sách và hệ tư tưởng, chưa từng đảm nhiệm”. Trong tháng 05, ông thăm bốn nước thuộc Liên Xô cũ (Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Nga, Belarus), nhân chuyến công du theo lời mời dự Ngày Chiến thắng với lễ diễu binh trên Quảng trường Đỏ ở Matxcơva. Ba tháng sau ông thăm Hàn Quốc. Trong tháng 10/2025, ông Tô Lâm công du Bắc Triều Tiên dự lễ kỷ niệm 80 thành lập đảng Lao Động Triều Tiên, sau đó là vòng công du hai nước châu Âu Phần Lan và Bulgari, cuối cùng là Anh Quốc và Bắc Ireland, nâng cấp quan hệ đối tác chiến lược với Helsinki và đối tác chiến lược toàn diện với Luân Đôn. Có thể thấy ông Tô Lâm quảng bá mạnh hơn, cho quốc tế thấy rõ hơn hình ảnh và vai trò của tổng bí thư - nhà lãnh đạo trên thực tế của Việt Nam, theo nhận định của Giáo sư Carl Thayer ngày 28/09 : “Tổng bí thư Tô Lâm đã liên tiếp công du nước ngoài kể từ khi nắm quyền lãnh đạo đảng và đóng vai trò quan trọng trong việc ký kết bảy quan hệ đối tác chiến lược toàn diện mới (Úc, Pháp, Malaysia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Singapore và Thái Lan). Ông Tô Lâm đang chứng minh rằng vị thế tổng bí thư không chỉ quan trọng đối với các vấn đề đối nội mà còn cả đối ngoại”. Đọc thêmLãnh đạo Việt Nam Tô Lâm đi Mỹ dự Đại Hội Đồng Liên Hiệp Quốc Một yếu tố mới, được tiến sĩ Lê Hồng Hiệp nhận định trên trang Fulcrum ngày 02/07/2025, là vai trò của “Đệ nhất phu nhân” định nghĩa lại nền ngoại giao và chính trị Việt Nam. Bà Ngô Phương Ly, “đệ nhất phu nhân trên thực tế, đã mở đường cho việc tăng cường các nỗ lực ngoại giao của Việt Nam và làm dịu đi hình ảnh của chồng bà” : “Bà Phương Ly, phu nhân của tổng bí thư đảng Cộng Sản Việt Nam Tô Lâm, đang nhanh chóng nổi lên như một nhân vật mang lại sự thay đổi trong ngoại giao quốc tế của Việt Nam. Bà tháp tùng ông Tô Lâm trong hầu hết các chuyến thăm nước ngoài và tiếp đón các nhà lãnh đạo nước ngoài tại Việt Nam. Thông qua việc thường xuyên tham gia các hoạt động văn hóa và xã hội với các đối tác nước ngoài, bà đã nâng cao vị thế ngoại giao của Việt Nam và nâng cao hình ảnh của ông Tô Lâm trước công chúng, qua đó góp phần nâng cao vị thế chính trị của ông. Ví dụ, trong chuyến thăm Singapore của ông Tô Lâm vào tháng 03/2025, bà Phương Ly đã tham gia các cuộc thảo luận về các vấn đề văn hóa với bà Loo Tze Lui, phu nhân thủ tướng Singapore Lawrence Wong, và chứng kiến lễ ký kết Biên bản ghi nhớ giữa Học viện Âm nhạc Quốc gia Việt Nam và Nhạc viện Yong Siew Toh của Singapore. Gần đây hơn, trong chuyến thăm Việt Nam của tổng thống Pháp Emmanuel Macron tháng 05/2025, bà Phương Ly đã tháp tùng bà Brigitte Macron tham quan Bảo tàng Mỹ thuật Việt Nam và Văn Miếu Quốc Tử Giám, chia sẻ những hiểu biết sâu sắc về di sản văn hóa phong phú của Việt Nam với Đệ nhất phu nhân Pháp”. Đọc thêmQuảng bá hình ảnh Việt Nam qua những chuyến công du của lãnh đạo thế giới Vai trò của tổng bí thư trong “định hình chính sách đối ngoại” Ngoài việc khẳng định quyền lực lãnh đạo thực sự ở Việt Nam, những chuyến công du nước ngoài của ông Tô Lâm, với tần suất dày đặc hơn so với người tiền nhiệm, còn nằm trong định hướng Hội nhập quốc tế trong tình hình mới, được quy định trong Nghị quyết số 59 (ngày 24/01/2025) và được cổng thông tin Chính phủ nhấn mạnh ngày 16/09 là “quyết sách quan trọng, đánh dấu bước ngoặt lịch sử trong tiến trình hội nhập quốc tế của đất nước”. Một mặt, Nghị quyết đưa ra hướng dẫn củng cố mối quan hệ “hữu nghị truyền thống” lâu đời của Việt Nam với Nga, Cuba, Bắc Triều Tiên. Mặt khác, Nghị quyết cũng cho thấy Việt Nam đang chủ động hơn trong các vấn đề quốc tế. Giáo sư Carl Thayer, Đại học New South Wales, phân tích : Nghị quyết số 59 lưu ý rằng hội nhập quốc tế đòi hỏi “chủ động, tích cực và dũng cảm” để thúc đẩy các mạng lưới đối tác đã được thiết lập, tranh thủ các nguồn lực bên ngoài, củng cố lòng tin chính trị và giải quyết các thách thức khu vực và toàn cầu thông qua hợp tác hòa bình, tất cả đều trên cơ sở tôn trọng luật pháp quốc tế. Nghị quyết số 59 cũng củng cố một trong những mục tiêu quan trọng của hội nhập quốc tế - duy trì môi trường hòa bình và ổn định để Việt Nam có thể phát triển kinh tế. Ví dụ chuyến công du Bình Nhưỡng của tổng bí thư Tô Lâm cũng được coi là nhằm trong chiến lược “bảo vệ đất nước từ sớm và từ xa, trước khi đất nước lâm nguy” phù hợp với chủ trương của Nghị quyết số 59, theo nhận định của giáo sư Carl Thayer : “Nếu ông Tô Lâm đến thăm Bình Nhưỡng, ông có thể sẽ tìm hiểu xem Việt Nam có thể đóng vai trò ngoại giao và chính trị nào trong bất kỳ tiến trình hòa bình nào trên bán đảo Triều Tiên. Việt Nam có lợi ích thiết yếu trong việc duy trì ổn định trên bán đảo Triều Tiên. Bất kỳ sự suy giảm nào trong hiện trạng, dẫn đến đối đầu giữa Hoa Kỳ và Hàn Quốc với Bắc Triều Tiên, Trung Quốc và Nga, sẽ đẩy Việt Nam ra ngoài lề và gây khó khăn cho quan hệ với các cường quốc”. Đọc thêmTổng bí thư đảng Cộng Sản, chủ tịch nước Việt Nam Tô Lâm công du Mông Cổ, Ireland và Pháp Trong số 5 quan điểm chỉ đạo về hội nhập quốc tế, hội nhập quốc tế về quốc phòng, an ninh được coi là một trong những trụ cột và là “một nội dung rất quan trọng”, theo phát biểu ngày 16/09 của ông Lê Hoài Trung, lúc đó là quyền ngoại trưởng. Ngoài ra, Việt Nam “chuyển từ xin nhận, gia nhập, tham gia sang chủ động đóng góp và xây dựng, định hình và sẵn sàng đóng góp có trách nhiệm vào công việc chung của cộng động quốc tế”. Sự kiện Hà Nội đăng cai tổ chức Lễ mở ký Công ước Liên Hiệp Quốc về chống tội phạm mạng ngày 25/10/2025, được Việt Nam coi là “dấu mốc lịch sử không chỉ với cộng đồng quốc tế mà còn khẳng định vai trò vị thế của Việt Nam trên trường quốc tế”. Trang VnExpress đưa tin “các nước đánh giá cao vai trò lãnh đạo, dẫn dắt của Việt Nam thông qua sáng kiến đăng cai Lễ mở ký”. Nhân dịp này, tổng bí thư Tô Lâm đã tiếp tổng thư ký Liên Hiệp Quốc Antonio Guterres. Cho dù “hội nhập quốc tế là sự nghiệp của toàn dân” nhưng được thực hiện “dưới sự lãnh đạo tuyệt đối, trực tiếp và toàn diện của Đảng, sự quản lý thống nhất của Nhà nước”. Trong tiến trình này, tổng bí thư không chỉ còn muốn đứng đầu đảng, giữ vai trò về tư tưởng, mà là một nhà lãnh đạo cao nhất đất nước. Hình ảnh mới này đang được ông Tô Lâm làm cho các đối tác phương Tây quen dần, theo nhận định của tiến sĩ Vũ Khang, Đại học Boston : Đối với các đối tác phương Tây, Việt Nam đã đặt các đối tác phương Tây vào vị trí phải công nhận tính chính danh và sự ngang hàng của vị trí tổng bí thư với các vị trí nguyên thủ quốc gia qua các cuộc gặp cấp cao. Đây cũng là một di sản của cố tổng bí thư Nguyễn Phú Trọng khi ông đã thành công bắt Mỹ phải công nhận tổng bí thư là ngang hàng với chức tổng thống Mỹ, từ đó mở ra các nước phương Tây khác cũng chấp nhận theo. Điều này chứng tỏ đây là một chính sách đường dài chứ không phải ngắn hạn cho kỳ Đại hội Đảng sắp tới, và dù ai ở vị trí tổng bí thư đi chăng nữa thì cũng sẽ được kế thừa di sản này.

In this episode, I sit down in Tallinn with Madis Võõras, Head of the Estonian Space Office at Enterprise Estonia, to unpack how Estonia is carving out a real role in the European space sector through brains, code, and smart partnerships. Madis explains how his team connects Estonian companies with the European Space Agency, brings public investment back into the local economy, and uses space projects as a launchpad for globally competitive products and services. He shares why Estonia's sweet spot is software, how the country's digital public infrastructure became a reference point for European programs, and why the next wave of value will come from data, cybersecurity, and rapid deployment rather than rockets alone. We also talk about what it takes to build a space economy in a market of 1.3 million people. Madis walks through lessons from early contracts, the rise of an Earth observation data hub, and a business incubator that has already helped dozens of founders move from idea to revenue. He is candid about the gaps too, including the need for more hardware depth and the reality that international cooperation is the fastest route to scale. From optical communications between Tallinn and Helsinki to the practical use of AI inside satellite programs, you will hear a pragmatic roadmap rather than hype. If you want a grounded look at how space policy meets startup grit, and why collaboration with the European Space Agency is a catalyst rather than a finish line, this conversation is for you. What should Estonia prioritize next to punch above its weight in the global space economy, and where do you see the biggest opportunities for software and AI in space services? Share your thoughts and join the discussion.

He has written 14 books or so, including Philosophy in the Garden, Distraction, and On Getting Off: Sex and Philosophy. He has also edited a couple of books on philosophy and martial arts, such as Engagement: Philosophy and the Martial Arts, and Martial Arts and Philosophy: Beating and Nothingness, perhaps my favourite title.

Unfortunately for Damon, he's not doing a lot of sword swinging at the moment because of an as yet unidentified issue with his arms. We discuss how he might get this issue sorted – which may involve flying to Helsinki – and how it can be tricky to prioritise your own health over other priorities and difficult life stuff. We also revisit the definition of a sword. What is a sword? When is a sword-like object not a sword? Damon's new book is about gestures, and we talk about the weird politeness of a salute or a bow that's absolutely essential before you try and murder someone with a kilo of sharp steel. A gesture can be an important symbol of trust and respect, and this courtesy separates martial arts or duels from a more bestial act or something a commoner might do. Our conversation goes off in several tangents, discussing whether philosophy is a scam, pens, getting rid of stuff, cataloguing your book collection, notebooks and the history of sticking two fingers up to the French.

Moni on huolissaan lehtiotsikoissa ja somekeskusteluissa vastaantulevasta kehityksestä, jossa lasten ja nuorten fyysinen aktiivisuus on alamäessä ja tästä seuraavista ongelmista. Istuimme jakson vieraan kanssa puimaan aihetta tutkimusnäytön pohjalta ja mietimme myös millä ongelmaa voidaan korjata. Keskustelemme mm. onko tilanne lasten ja nuorten kohdalla niin huono kuin otsikot kertoo? Mitä syitä on siihen, että lasten ja nuorten fyysinen kunto ja aktiivisuus on alamäessä? Minkälaista liikuntaa ja aktiivisuutta lapsen ja nuoren keho kaipaa? Millaisia yhteiskunnallisia interventioita meidän tulisi tehdä ja onko maailmalla olemassa onnistuneita ratkaisuja? Mistä löytyy liikunnan motivaatio lapsella ja nuorella? Mistä johtuu, että tavoitteellisen nuoren urheilijan kroppa ei meinaa kestää kovatehoista treeniä?

Yesterday I learned that William Lane Craig is an atheist. I was very saddened to learn that Craig has lost his faith. According to Time Magazine, Craig is one of the most influential living philosophers. As many of you know, Craig is also one of the most influential living evangelists. So today, unfortunately, we need to talk about Craig's atheism. CreditsHost: R.T. Mullins (PhD, University of St Andrews; Dr. Habil.

Exploring the boundaries, fringes, and inner workings of civil society, Taru Salmenkari investigates local forms of political agency in China in light of the globalization of political values, practices, and institutions in Global Ideas, Local Adaptations: Chinese Activism and the Will to Make Civil Society (Edward Elgar, 2025). She provides a theoretical framework for globalization, examining new forms of governance emerging with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and how these have reconfigured social power in China.This topical book outlines how civil society has been promoted globally since the 1980s, as NGOs advance development cooperation, democratization, and neoliberal third-sector service production. Salmenkari studies the outcomes of these processes in China, where civil society promotion met strong localizing forces rising from NGO activists'' own values, governmental regulation, and local society. Evaluating various forms of Chinese self-organizing, she discusses the social omissions of Chinese environmental NGO agendas, Confucian ties in global translations, gay self-organizing, and the idea and practice of Minjian. The book identifies complexities within Chinese civil society and how it navigates academia, global partnerships, social exclusions and alternative values, analyzing how these conflicting positions influence Chinese politics and society.

Jari Närhi, Co-Founder and CEO of NADMED, a University of Helsinki spin-out revolutionising how we understand and monitor NAD levels. With a background in mechanical engineering and a career spanning medtech, diagnostics and hospital operations, Jari brings a unique systems-level view on cellular health and innovation in clinical testing.In this episode, we explore why NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is so vital for human health, from fuelling ATP production to supporting DNA repair and immune regulation. Jari breaks down the science of NAD+, NADH and glutathione and why traditional lab methods like mass spectrometry have long failed to make NAD testing practical or scalable. We discuss the real-world impact of measuring NAD levels, from chronic illness to long COVID, and how this simple test could become as common as checking haemoglobin in the future.Jari also opens up about NADMED's regulatory journey, the ethical dilemmas of DIY supplementation, the rise of longevity tech, and how AI will transform personalised diagnostics through pattern recognition in metabolic biomarkersTimestamps:[00:00:45] Age vs Disease: What Really Impacts NAD Levels[00:02:28] Why NAD Is Essential for Life[00:03:52] How NAD Decline Signals Deeper Health Issues[00:05:05] From Niacin to NAD: Understanding the B3 Pathway[00:06:00] CE‑Marking and Regulatory Hurdles for Diagnostics[00:06:59] How NADMED Made Testing Faster and More Accessible[00:09:02] The Ethics of Supplementation Without Testing[00:10:16] The VC Path: Funding Deep‑Tech MedTech Innovation[00:14:02] Metabolic Fingerprints and Personalised Medicine[00:17:11] AI, Data and the Future of Longevity DiagnosticsConnect with Jari - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jari-n%C3%A4rhi-38b44/ Learn more about NADMED - https://www.nadmed.com/ Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ Follow Karandeep on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwal

Across Europe, a quiet movement is taking shape. From knitting circles in Helsinki to pottery workshops in Brussels, people are rediscovering the simple, grounding act of making things by hand. What began for many as a way to fill the long days of lockdown has grown into something deeper, a form of self-care, a social bond, and even a small act of resistance against the relentless pace of modern life.In this episode of Europe Talks Back, we explore how creative practices such as ceramics, weaving and painting are reshaping wellbeing and community across the continent. We speak with Brussels-based designer and ceramicist Anna Tou, whose workshops offer people a chance to step away from their screens, slow down, and reconnect not just with clay, but with themselves.Together, they reflect on the tactile joy of creation, the patience that crafting demands, and the way art and tradition continue to bring people together in an increasingly digital world.Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.Production: By Europod, in co production with Sphera Network.Follow us on:LinkedInInstagram Hosted on Acast.

Lindsay Whorton - A New School Leadership Architecture: A Four-Level Framework for Reimagining Roles. This is episode 792 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Dr. Lindsay Whorton is proud to be a founding member of The Holdsworth Center. She helped design the Center's programming and has served as president since 2019. Under Lindsay's leadership, Holdsworth has grown from serving seven public school districts through its initial offering – the Holdsworth Partnership – to serving more than 1,900 leaders in 89 public school districts across several programs, all designed to build a bench of stronger superintendents and principals for Texas public schools. Lindsay's story with Holdsworth began in 2015, when Charles Butt, Chairman of H-E-B, tapped her to work with an organizing board designing the center's first programs. At the time, Lindsay was working as a consultant with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) in Washington D.C. She officially joined The Holdsworth Center team shortly after its launch in January 2017. In her role as managing director of district support, Lindsay helped create and evolve Holdsworth's model for supporting partner districts to develop aspiring leaders, place them in leadership roles and support them as they progress along their leadership journey. Lindsay's dive into education research began in 2009, when she was named a Rhodes Scholar and went on to earn a master's degree in comparative social policy and a doctorate in social policy from Oxford University. During her time at Oxford, Lindsay spent a year at the University of Helsinki, where she was a Fulbright Scholar. She visited schools and classrooms to understand Finland's world-renowned teacher education system. In 2016, Routledge published her book Teachers Unions and Education Reform in Comparative Contexts, which examined the impact of teachers' unions on performance-related pay reform in Finland, Switzerland, Texas and Florida. A native of Independence, Missouri, Lindsay earned a bachelor's degree in secondary education and English from Drake University in Iowa, where she served as a captain of the women's basketball team. Lindsay helped lead the underdog team to a Cinderella finish in 2007 by winning the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament championship and was named the tournament's outstanding player and a First-Team Academic All-American.
