In 2024 Gisèle Pelicot waved her legal right to anonymity for the trial of her then husband, declaring that shame has to change sides. Her then husband had drugged and raped her and invited other men to rape her, filming as they did so. He was found guilty of her aggravated rape, along with 46 other men. Another two were found guilty of attempted rape and a further two were found guilty of sexual assault. Gisèle has now written her memoir, A Hymn to Life and joins Nuala McGovern talk about her decision to have an open court, the devasting effect on her and her family of her ex-husband's actions and finding love again in her 70s.For the first time since 2023, a women's match will take centre stage in the tournament's primetime night session at the French Open.

The practice of healthcare is inherently powerful, and our patients are vulnerable to our power. Though power can be abused, the righteous use of power, for the benefit of the vulnerable, is profoundly Christlike. We will explore the lessons of power which help us understand our roles, including the fundamental nature of professionalism and key kingdom strategies of healthcare missions.
The entire world votes on America every single day with immigration. That's the real poll.And here's the part the Left hates. The more functional and prosperous America becomes, the more impossible it is for them to sell their victimhood franchise.Because modern Leftism requires America to be evil. It's foundational. If America is fundamentally good, then their entire emotional support ideology collapses like a vegan bodybuilder in a power outage.Think about what these people actually believe.They say America is systemically racist, yet millions of non-white immigrants desperately want to come here.They say capitalism is oppression, while posting those complaints from $1,200 smartphones ordered with free shipping.They say America is terrible, but notice how none of them ever move to the worker's paradise of North Korea. Funny how socialism is always somebody else's retirement plan.And history absolutely wrecks their argument.Name another country that became the dominant military power, economic engine, innovation capital, and cultural exporter simultaneously.America rebuilt Europe after World War II.We put a man on the moon.We created the modern internet.We dominate entertainment, technology, medicine, aviation, finance, and innovation so thoroughly that even people who hate America usually hate us using American apps on American phones while wearing American fashion trends.Even our enemies consume America like addicts hiding snacks under the bed.China criticizes us while sending their kids to American universities.Russian oligarchs don't stash money in Belarus. They stash it in Manhattan.Everybody talks tough about America until it's time to buy real estate, educate their children, or protect their assets.Then suddenly Old Glory starts looking pretty attractive.
Major developments are unfolding by the hour, and the MeidasTouch Podcast breaks it all down. Ben, Brett, and Jordy cover the chaos on Capitol Hill as Senate Majority Leader John Thune abruptly sends the Senate home after Donald Trump detonates the reconciliation bill negotiations with his outrageous push for a $1.776 billion slush fund to award January 6 insurrectionists and allies. Meanwhile in the House, Republicans shut down the floor before a vote on a war powers resolution — because Democrats had the votes. Trump approval continues to tank. The brothers also examine alarming global developments, including Russia conducting nuclear weapon drills with Belarus, Iran tightening its grip over the Strait of Hormuz and escalating tensions in the region, and China flexing its power as Trump faces mounting pressure following his meeting with Xi Jinping in Beijing. Plus, the latest legal, political, and international fallout surrounding Trump and much more.

Day 1,548.Today, as the US administration reveals details of its participation in Vladimir Putin's flagship business and investment forum, Russia and Belarus conclude major nuclear exercises just as Ukraine continues its campaign of strikes against oil and gas infrastructure near Moscow. We also examine Kyiv's latest act of political trolling: a “Refinery Advent Calendar” tracking how many Russian energy targets Ukrainian forces have hit this month alone. And later, Dom reflects on a day spent deep inside a secret section of the London Underground, where he interviewed a senior NATO commander who warns that while Russia's forces may not be unbeatable, they are now far more battle-hardened, battle-tested, and lethal than they were at the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022.NOTE: Monday 25th is a Bank Holiday in the UK.

Forty years ago, the world's worst nuclear accident took place at Chernobyl, in what was then the Soviet Union. When news of the disaster began to emerge beyond the Iron Curtain, one of those paying close attention was Adi Roche in Ireland. At the time, Adi was working as a peace educator, teaching about nuclear weapons and Cold War tensions. She went on to found Chernobyl Children International, which became one of the most significant and sustained humanitarian responses to the disaster. Over the years, she brought aid and medical support to Ukraine, Belarus and other affected regions, established a paediatric cardiac programme for children born with heart defects, and helped arrange for children from Belarus to be adopted in Ireland. Colm Flynn meets Adi Roche to hear about the work that has shaped her life, and the Christian faith that she says has sustained her through it. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from Heart and Soul, exploring personal approaches to spirituality from around the world.

Drones have become a part of everyday life for many Ukrainians. Now, they're showing up in the airspace of Baltic countries. On Wednesday, people in Lithuania's capital, Vilnius, were instructed to take shelter when drone activity was detected near the border with Belarus. The day before, a NATO jet shot down a Ukrainian drone over southern Estonia. This followed an incident earlier this month when two drones hit an empty oil facility in Latvia. It's still not clear exactly how these drones are ending up in Baltic airspace, but some analysts believe the drones could be autonomously choosing their targets – a potential first in warfare. Mark MacKinnon is the Globe's senior international correspondent. He's here to explain what we know so far about how these drones are ending up in NATO countries, and what the implications are for the next phase of the Russia-Ukraine war. Questions? Comments?

This week on Fully Booked, Craig and Roland sit down with debut novelist Marc S. Perlman to explore how setting can become far more than a backdrop. Inspired by a real journey through an ancient forest on the border of Poland and Belarus, Marc discusses how the eerie landscape at the center of his thriller evolved into a living presence within the story itself. From hidden dangers in the woods to the tension of crossing political borders, the conversation dives into the power of atmosphere and the role setting plays in shaping suspense, emotion, and character. Marc explains how he used weather, isolation, borders, and the smallest sensory details to transform the emotional tone of his scenes, and how those elements can make a setting come alive on the page. The discussion explores why forests have traditionally carried an ominous presence throughout storytelling history, and more broadly how real world locations can inspire richer fiction. While a gripping plot and compelling characters may hook a reader, it is often atmosphere that keeps them turning pages long into the night.

Host: Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles Guest(s): Josh Rodman Published: May 20, 2026 Length: 31:53 Presented by: Global Training Center Summary Export compliance is not always as simple as checking an ECCN, screening restricted parties, and moving forward. In this episode, Lalo Solorzano and Andy Shiles speak with Josh Rodman, Senior Attorney with Schulz Trade Law, about a lesser-known export control issue involving Russia, Belarus, and outbound HTS-based controls under Part 746 of the EAR. Josh explains why Russia and Belarus are different from most export destinations: certain products may trigger export licensing requirements based on their HTS code, even when the product appears to be EAR99 and even when the shipment is not going directly to Russia or Belarus. The bigger concern is diversion risk, especially when goods are shipped to high-risk jurisdictions such as Kazakhstan, the UAE, certain “STAN” countries, or other locations where products may later be transferred. The conversation also covers routed transactions, USPPI responsibilities, the importance of accurate ECCN and HTS classification, shipper's letter of instruction documentation, written procedures, customer due diligence, and when companies may need to consider licensing or deeper review before proceeding. Main Topic / Discussion This episode focuses on how U.S. exporters can identify and manage export control risks tied to Russia and Belarus, even when they are not selling directly into those countries. Josh Rodman explains that Part 746 of the EAR creates outbound HTS-based controls for certain products destined for Russia or Belarus, or for transactions where there is a significant risk of diversion. The discussion highlights how exporters can miss this issue if they only rely on ECCN analysis, restricted party screening, or standard export procedures. The hosts and guest also explore routed transactions, domestic sales that may later become exports, distributor risk, documentation practices, and the need for written compliance procedures and training. Key Takeaways • Russia and Belarus are unique because certain export controls are tied to outbound HTS codes, not only ECCNs. • An EAR99 product may still require deeper review if the HTS code appears under Part 746 and there is a risk of diversion to Russia or Belarus. • Exporters should not rely solely on customer assurances, especially when working with new distributors in higher-risk jurisdictions. • Routed transactions do not eliminate the U.S. seller's responsibilities; the USPPI should provide accurate ECCN information through the SLI. • Written procedures, trained staff, accurate classifications, customer diligence, and documentation can help protect companies when export risks arise. • Export opportunities remain strong, but companies need a solid compliance foundation before pursuing higher-risk international sales.

Auf 107,7 FM in Riga ist nur noch Rauschen zu hören. Das russischsprachige Programm des öffentlich-rechtlichen Radios von Lettland wurde abgeschaltet. Obwohl ein Drittel der Bevölkerung in den eigenen vier Wänden russisch spricht. Russische Propaganda versucht die Lücke zu füllen. Die russische Sprache wird in Lettland zunehmend verdrängt. Seit anfangs Jahr gibt es keinen russischsprachigen Unterricht mehr in Lettlands Schulen. Und auf russischsprachige Bücher und Zeitschriften wird neu eine viermal höhere Mehrwertsteuer erhoben. Wer einen russischen Pass besitzt, muss seit Moskaus Angriff auf die Ukraine 2022 Grundkenntnisse in Lettisch nachweisen, eine Sicherheitsüberprüfung bestehen oder das Land verlassen. Lettland war in seiner Geschichte insgesamt nicht einmal 60 Jahre unabhängig, aber Lettisch existiert als eigene Sprache seit über tausend Jahren. Weltweit sprechen vielleicht 1,5 Millionen lettisch, in den Nachbarländern Russland und Belarus sind es 150 Millionen Russischsprachige. Anders als in der Schweiz definiert sich Lettland über die Sprache. Denn für Putin ist überall Russland, wo russisch gesprochen wird. Aber wie gewinnt das Land aber die Köpfe und Herzen der russischsprachigen Bevölkerung? Wie gewinnt der öffentlich-rechtliche Rundfunk LSM den Kampf gegen die russischen Fake News? In Lettland ist Sprache keine Nebensache. Im Gegenteil.
In this episode of ART IS CHANGE, theater artist and educator Derek Goldman shares how performance can become a civic practice — not simply entertainment, but a way for people to reconnect with themselves, each other, and the deeper responsibilities of citizenship.This episode is part of a special Art in Action series we're producing in partnership with the Charles F. Kettering Foundation's Democracy and the Arts program. In these episodes we'll be speaking with artists, cultural organizers, and arts leaders who are navigating and challenging current efforts to limit free creative expression and free speech. Together, we'll explore what freedom of expression means in practice, not as an abstract right, but as a lived responsibility at the heart of democratic life.Drawing on his In Your Shoes™ methodology, Goldman explores how storytelling and embodied listening can open surprising pathways for mitigating polarization, isolation, and fear.At the center of the conversation is a deceptively simple process: Two people talk deeply with one another, transcribe the conversation, and then publicly perform each other's words. The result is not debate, but encounter. From collaborations between conservative Christian and progressive theater students to work in prisons, hospitals, public health spaces, and global conflict zones, Goldman describes how theater can function as “relational fitness” — strengthening the neglected civic muscles of empathy, attention, and human recognition.This episode explores three interconnected ideas:How the In Your Shoes™ process transforms strangers into collaborators through radical listening and embodied storytelling,Why Goldman believes democracy depends not only on freedom of speech, but on the freedom to speak vulnerably and be heard without fear, andHow artists can work across sectors — from diplomacy to public health to incarceration settings — to rebuild trust, connection, and civic imagination in communities.Notable MentionsPeopleDerek Goldman – Laboratory for Global Performance & PoliticsTheater director, educator, and co-founding director of Georgetown University's Laboratory for Global Performance & Politics.

“The Hebrew way to understand salvation is not to read a theological treatise but to sit around a campfire with family and friends, listening to a story. It is the very nature of storytelling to include us, the hearers, in the story… For salvation is not the spiritual diagnosis of souls, one here, one there. It is the story of a people. A community with a past, with ancestors, with common experience.”—Eugene Peterson, Christ Plays in Ten Thousand PlacesIn this next episode of the Become Good Soil Foundations Series, we invite you to pause and personally explore how koinonia—the heartbeat of the redemptive community modeled in the New Testament—might provide a clue for how we live counterculturally in a world deeply formed by hyper-individualism.In the film Defiance, we see a heroic picture of redemptive community. The Bielski brothers gather fleeing refugees in the forests of modern-day Belarus to escape the persecution of World War II. There in the woods, with only the essentials, a redemptive community is formed as they struggle to survive. When they host a wedding, it becomes a beautiful reminder that joy and sorrow coexist. (Links to the Defiance Trailer and Wedding Scene here.)Throughout the New Testament, we see redemptive fellowship being recovered and nurtured by a remnant of people whose hearts are being captured and apprenticed by the Living God. We catch a glimpse of this in Acts chapter 2. Koinonia is defined as fellowship, association, community, participation, and sharing in one another's lives.The first picture we have of koinonia exists within the Trinity itself: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in perfect fellowship. But more than simply observing that fellowship, we are invited into koinonia—first and foremost with God.And from this place of intimate communion with God, the gospel invites us to love others. Paul helps us explore this idea through the imagery of the body in 1 Corinthians 12:25–26:“The way God designed our bodies is a model for understanding our lives together as a church: every part dependent on every other part, the parts we mention and the parts we don't, the parts we see and the parts we don't. If one part hurts, every other part is involved in the hurt, and in the healing. If one part flourishes, every other part enters into the exuberance.”To be in fellowship with others in our fallen age is inherently risky. It involves cycles of rupture and repair. How do we pursue, engage in, respond to, repair, and flourish within a redemptive community? Where might God be inviting you to reconsider your participation in koinonia?Join us as we explore this profound idea of koinonia together.It's all been prologue. The best is yet to come.For the Kingdom,Morgan & Cherie
Russland feuert unaufhaltsam Drohnen in Richtung der Ukraine - und nutzt dabei offenbar Belarus als Startrampe. Außerdem hilft das Regime in Minsk seinem wichtigsten Partner dabei, russische Wehrpflichtige an der Ausreise zu hindern. Der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskj droht Machthaber Alexander Lukaschenko inzwischen indirekt mit venezolanischen Verhältnissen. Text und Moderation: Kevin Schulte Sie haben Fragen?

In den vergangenen Tagen hat das russische Militär Städte in der Ukraine wieder massiv mit Raketen und Drohnen angegriffen. Aufhorchen lassen aber auch Meldungen über immer stärkere ukrainische Angriffe auf Russland. Nicht nur auf die Energieinfrastruktur, sondern auch auf den Großraum Moskau. Stefan Niemann erklärt, was dahintersteckt. Beim zweiten großen Kriegsschauplatz im Nahen Osten liegen die Positionen der USA und des Iran immer noch weit auseinander. US-Präsident Trump droht dem Regime in Teheran mit neuen Angriffen, andererseits schürt er Hoffnungen auf eine angebliche Verhandlungslösung und erklärt, er habe deshalb einen erneuten Angriff auf den Iran abgeblasen. Ihm falle es schwer, den “plappernden Präsidenten” noch ernst zu nehmen, sagt Stefan. Denn alles, was der US-Präsident poste, sei offensichtlich maßlos übertrieben. Stefan schaut auch Richtung Belarus, das ein gemeinsames Manöver mit Russland abhält, und auf die Pläne von Bundesinnenminister Alexander Dobrindt, den lange vernachlässigten Schutz der Bevölkerung in Deutschland zu verbessern.Im Schwerpunkt der heutigen Ausgabe spricht Host Kai Küstner mit seinem Kollegen Jürgen Webermann über eine NDR-Recherche. Diese zeigt, wie Deutschland dazu beiträgt, Putins Kriegskasse weiter zu füllen. Dabei geht es um eine Gas-Handelsfirma, die eine ehemalige Tochter des russischen Gazprom-Konzerns ist, und die 2022 von Deutschland verstaatlicht wurde. Entgegen der Linie des eigenen, zuständigen Wirtschaftsministeriums hat sie Geschäfte mit Russland über die Lieferung von LNG gemacht, die dem Kreml bis heute Milliarden einbringen. Die Recherchen legen nahe, dass der damalige Bundeswirtschaftsminister Robert Habeck nicht eingeweiht war.Lob und Kritik, alles bitte per Mail an streitkraefte@ndr.deUkrainischer Angriff auf Moskauhttps://edition.cnn.com/2026/05/17/europe/russia-ukraine-moscow-attack-intl-hnkTrump erklärt, er habe geplanten Angriff auf Iran gestoppthttps://www.npr.org/2026/05/19/g-s1-122762/trump-says-hes-called-off-iran-strikeInterview mit Angela Merkel als Sonderfolge und Videopodcast bei 0630: https://open.spotify.com/episode/146kj3O7urIr0uV1svKRHS?si=4ac65adf7be64180Alle Folgen von "Streitkräfte und Strategien"https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/podcast2998.html

Until the end of March this year, BBC News Russian was the only source of independent reporting in Belarus, where journalism has been suppressed. Around two dozen independent journalists are currently behind bars, with many more forced into exile by the government of Alexander Lukashenko. Then, on March 25th, Belarus added the BBC to a list of extremist materials, meaning that it is now an offense for people in Belarus to even like or share BBC content.BBC Russian's Alina Isachenka came into The Fifth Floor studio to explain how the BBC is trying to keep its readers in Belarus safe. Peace talks between Iran and the United States seem to have stopped, at least for now, while the blockade in the Strait of Hormuz remains firmly in place. But there's another unexpected player drawing attention in the region: Pakistan. Somehow, Pakistan has managed to stay on good terms with both Iran, its neighbor, and Iran's regional rival, Saudi Arabia, with whom it has a defense pact. BBC Persian's Mohammad Vaziri has been following Pakistan's balacing act.The Fifth Floor is at the heart of global storytelling on the BBC World Service, bringing you the best stories from journalists in the BBC's 43 language services. We're here to help you make sense of the stories making headlines around the world; to excite your curiosity and to get to grips with the facts.Recent episodes have investigated Russia's youth armies and how they make soldiers of Ukrainian children; featured the BBC team who were the first journalists to the site of the Nigerian school kidnappings and reflected the effects of internet blackouts in Iran, Uganda and India.If you want to know more about Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, and the legacy of Hugo Chavez; or how Vladimir Putin's network of deep cover spies operates; or why Donald Trump signed an executive order granting white South Africans asylum in the US, we have all those stories and more.This episode of The Documentary comes to you from The Fifth Floor, the show at the heart of global storytelling, with BBC journalists from all around the world.Presented by Faranak Amidi.Produced by Laura Thomas and Caroline Ferguson.(Photo: Faranak Amidi.

Ted is joined by Marc S. Perlman, whose debut novel, The Riddle of the Trees, was published this March, more than a decade after he first conceived of it while biking through the Belavezskaya Forest from Poland to Belarus.Marc gives us an overview of the book, an espionage thriller, and the role that place played in inspiring its writing before offering his best writing tip, which he first heard articulated by the legendary Ken Follett and involves the strategic sprinkling of unresolved details. Marc also shares a pretty great use for some loose-leaf paper and a calendar during the outlining stage.Learn more about Marc and his work at marcsperlman.com. More information about Ted and his books is available on his website, thetedfox.com.

Some kids from Jersey go down the Shore. Tom Mangine went to West Point, then to the Balkans, then Haiti, then Africa, then Chile — and somehow managed to be on the ground every time history got loud. Reviews are the lifeblood of independent podcasts. If TP&R belongs in more people's ears, here's how you make that happen: Apple Podcasts: Rate & Review on Apple Spotify: Rate on Spotify Thomas Mangine grew up in Manalapan, New Jersey — Springsteen country — and went on to spend three decades doing work most of us only encounter in spy thrillers. A West Point graduate, U.S. Army officer, intelligence professional, and financial crimes investigator, Tom has worked across six continents and visited 87 countries. He has tracked money for terrorists, investigated organ trafficking and corruption in professional sports, advised major financial institutions on predictive compliance, and taught financial crime investigation to military and civilian professionals across dozens of countries. He is a certified instructor with both the Association of Certified Financial Crime Specialists (ACFCS) and the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS). This one's a little different. Tom is a high school buddy, and we hit record in the middle of a conversation that had already started. What followed was nearly two hours of stories, insights, and the kind of frank talk you only get from someone who has no reason to perform for a camera. Calls to Action ✅ If this conversation resonates, consider sharing it with someone who believes connection across difference still matters. ✅ Subscribe to Corey's Substack: coreysnathan.substack.com ✅ Leave a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen: ratethispodcast.com/goodfaithpolitics ✅ Subscribe to Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other on your favorite podcast platform. ✅ Watch the full conversation and subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@politicsandreligion Key Takeaways From Manalapan to the world's pressure points. Growing up in a central Jersey town full of World War II veterans, Holocaust survivors' grandchildren, and teachers who took their students seriously shaped Tom's sense of civic obligation well before West Point entered the picture. The community you grow up in sets the frame for what you think is worth doing. Arabic, Kuwait, and the value of obscure skills. Tom chose to study Arabic at West Point when almost no one else was. Within a year, Saddam Hussein had invaded Kuwait and suddenly everyone wanted to know who spoke Arabic. The lesson: depth in an unfashionable area compounds. What George H.W. Bush actually understood. Tom's instructor at West Point, Colonel Richard Augustus Norton — a Vietnam vet who had also served in Lebanon and learned both Farsi and Arabic — explained to his cadets exactly why the first Bush did not drive to Baghdad. Occupying it would have meant a decade of entanglement. A decade later, Tom watched those predictions come true in real time. Learn what normal looks like before you can spot abnormal. From a South African tracker teaching Tom to read an empty watering hole as a threat indicator, to Secret Service agents training currency detection by feel rather than scanner, to teaching financial crime investigators to recognize patterns before they see violations — this is a through-line of Tom's entire career. Predictive compliance versus retroactive compliance. When Tom moved into the private sector at the Bank of Montreal, his boss Andy Hoffman wanted something the financial industry rarely did: get ahead of problems instead of responding to them. Tom's military intelligence background — built on anticipating failure before it happens — turned out to be exactly the right preparation. Bureaucracies eat good work. Tom spent two years writing threat assessments in Haiti, working 90-hour weeks, only to have a naval vessel show up with a 2003 report because his updates had been lost in the system. The same pattern repeated across Afghanistan, Ukraine, Belarus, and elsewhere. Institutional memory is not a given. Someone has to fight for it. Being open to learning is harder than it sounds. Tom has trained professionals ranging from 20 to 55 years old across dozens of countries. The single hardest thing to teach is not technical knowledge. It is the willingness to actually revise what you already believe. About Our Guest Thomas J. Mangine is a West Point graduate, retired U.S. Army officer, and financial crimes and risk management expert with three decades of experience across the military, diplomatic, and private sectors. He has deployed to Bosnia, Haiti, Africa, Chile, and beyond, and has trained financial crime investigators and national security professionals in dozens of countries.

It's Venice Biennale opening week and so, as ever, this episode is our Venice special. The Biennale comprises many aspects: an international exhibition that this year features more than 100 artists in the Central Pavilion in the Giardini—Venice's easternmost gardens—and the Arsenale, the historic Venetian shipyards, as well as national pavilions and, across the city, countless official collateral exhibitions alongside major museum shows, performances and other interventions. We bring you our immediate impressions of this year's offering: Louisa Buck, Jane Morris and host Ben Luke review the main exhibition, In Minor Keys, curated by the late Koyo Kouoh and realised by five of her collaborators. Ben talks to two artists: Gabrielle Goliath whose work for the South African pavilion was cancelled and is being staged in a church in the heart of Venice, and Lubaina Himid, who is showing in the British pavilion in the Giardini. He also meets the writer and thinker Saidiya Hartman, two of whose essays have inspired a production called Minor Music at the End of the World, staged at Venice's Goldoni Theatre and featuring contributions from, among others, the artists Arthur Jafa, Precious Okoyomon and Okwui Okpokwaseli. And The Art Newspaper's digital editor, Alexander Morrison, talks to Daniella Kaliada, one of the team behind Official. Unofficial. Belarus., a collateral art project by Belarus Free Theatre. Finally, we always end our Venice specials with a historic masterpiece, and in this episode's Work of the Week, we look at two: Jacopo Tintoretto's The Last Supper and The Israelites in the Desert of 1591-92, the pair of paintings made for the presbytery of the Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore. The paintings have just returned to the basilica after a major conservation project, funded by the charity Save Venice, and Ben spoke to Save Venice's Senior Researcher, Gabriele Matino, about them.In Minor Keys, 9 May-22 NovemberGabrielle Goliath: Elegy, Chiesa di Sant'Antonin, 5 May-31 JulyPredicting History: Testing Translation, British Pavilion, 9 May-22 NovemberOfficial.

On Your World of Creativity, we travel around the world talking with creative practitioners, healers, founders, and changemakers. And today, we're stamping our creative passport in Brisbane, Australia, to talk with someone who's helping millions reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies. If you've ever felt stuck, depleted, or disconnected from your inner clarity, today's conversation may open a powerful new door.Inna Segal is a pioneer in energy medicine and human consciousness, and the internationally bestselling author of The Secret Language of Your Body, translated into 26 languages with more than a million copies sold worldwide. Her work has been praised by leading physicians including Bernie Siegel, Christiane Northrup, and more for its practical, compassionate, and deeply transformative approach to healing.https://www.innasegal.com/masterclassInna's journey began as a young immigrant from Belarus to Australia, where emotional isolation and trauma manifested as chronic illness. At age 20, following the stillbirth of her baby and a profound personal collapse, she experienced a spontaneous healing breakthrough that revealed the emotional, ancestral, and energetic roots of her suffering.That moment became the foundation of her life's work.For more than 25 years, Inna has helped people worldwide—doctors, creatives, trauma survivors, and leaders—understand the deeper messages of the body and activate their own healing abilities. She has taught internationally, created multiple healing decks and programs, and developed a non-linear approach to healing that integrates emotions, archetypes, energy systems, and ancestral patterns.Today, she supports people globally through courses, masterclasses, and intuitive healing work—helping them reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies and the timing of their souls.1) From Personal Crisis to Life's WorkInna, your journey into healing began through profound personal loss and physical pain—from chronic illness to the stillbirth of your baby. Can you share that pivotal moment when you decided to listen to your body differently, and how that experience became the foundation of everything you do today?2) The Secret Language of the BodyYou teach that illness is rarely just physical—and that symptoms often appear far from where the real issue began. What do you mean by the “secret language of the body,” and how can someone begin to understand what their own body is trying to communicate?3) Healing Beyond Symptoms: Emotions, Ancestry, and ArchetypesYour work explores emotional patterns, inherited trauma, masculine and feminine dynamics, and archetypes. From your experience, what deeper layers are most often overlooked in healing—and why can trying to “fix” symptoms too quickly actually be harmful?Inna, where can listeners find your books, courses, and the Awaken the Healer Within masterclass?4) The Soul of Your BrandInna, I want to shift for a moment to what I call the soul of your brand. Using my brand model—clarity of purpose, lived experience, emotional truth, and practical impact—you didn't just build a business, you embodied your message.How would you describe the soul of your work today?What values guide it?And how do you translate something so intuitive and spiritual into grounded books, programs, and experiences that genuinely help people?5) Where to Begin When You Feel OverwhelmedMany listeners may be dealing with emotional stress, physical symptoms, or simply feeling disconnected. When someone feels overwhelmed by everything they're experiencing, where do you recommend they begin? What's one simple way they can start reconnecting with their body and inner healer today?“If someone listening today feels broken, stuck, or disconnected from their body—what would you want them to remember about their own capacity to heal?”

The families of the victims of the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge are suing OpenAI for not alerting authorities to the shooter's troubling use of its chatbot. Their lawyer tells us, unlike CEO Sam Altman, he's met with the families -- and they're prepared for a fight. Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew is vowing to ban AI chatbots and social media for anyone under the age of sixteen. He'll tell us how he's planning to make his proposal work IRL. A Polish-Belarusian journalist and activist is finally free after being held in a labour camp in Belarus. A colleague tells us what it was like to lay eyes on his friend for the first time in years. After discovering a touching letter to a grand-daughter left in a book, a Washington D.C. woman goes to great lengths to track down the recipient she knew only as "Jackie."A farmer tells us she definitely knew her ewe Teemu was pregnant -- but she had no idea just how pregnant...A surprising study reveals that urban birds react differently to different genders -- and, for some reason, are noticeably more frightened of women.As It Happens, the Wednesday Edition.

Comrades, welcome to a special audio-only broadcast of The Eastern Border. (Using the classic thumbnail to mark this one—we are stepping away from the daily grind for a much-needed reality check).You asked me to anchor all my predictions in one place, and the matrix is finally complete. This episode is a gauntlet thrown directly at the white-paper dreamers in Western think-tanks. For four years, analysts have tried to predict the outcome of this war using “Game Theory,” calculating what is in “Russia's national interests.” They are dead wrong. Why? Because “Russia” as a functioning nation-state no longer exists.Join me as we run the hard telemetry through our Ponyatiya (Mafia code) analytics engine. We aren't looking at a geopolitical superpower; we are auditing a failing cartel. We are watching Putin's cohort of capos and property managers frantically loot the remaining obshchak (communal fund) to secure their offshore exit strategies before a weakened Tsar loses his grip.From the fatal 4.6 trillion ruble Q1 deficit and the Russian Railways logistics death spiral, to the impending frontline cartel war (VP = ВСУ), the rise of Bratva 2.0, urban race riots, and the inevitable decolonization stampede of Chechnya, Tatarstan, and Belarus—this is the unvarnished, deterministic math of a collapsing empire.August 2026 is the event horizon. The Godfather's check is about to bounce.

Day 1,516.Today, as President Zelensky warns of increased Russian military activity in neighbouring Belarus, we discuss weekend Ukrainian air raids targeting oil refineries around Moscow. We then examine a shock election result that has brought another pro-Russia leader to power within both the EU and NATO, following in the footsteps of Hungary's Viktor Orbán. And later, we speak to a veteran foreign correspondent who spent 25 years in Russia – and has made more than a dozen trips to Ukraine since the full-scale invasion – for his memories of how Vladimir Putin built a system of ever greater repression and violence.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.With thanks to Marc Bennetts – foreign correspondent at The Times of London.
