Como todos los sábados, nuestro rickshaw se pone en marcha para repasar la actualidad internacional de la semana. Arrancamos con el plan de paz propuesto por Estados Unidos y Rusia para poner fin a la guerra de Ucrania, mientras siguen los ataques de Moscú contra civiles e infraestructuras energéticas. Nos detenemos en los llamamientos para el fin de la guerra en Sudán. Y analizamos la condena a muerte a la ex primera ministra de Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina, exiliada en la India. La fotografía de la semana pone el foco en Gaza, donde Israel sigue bombardeando a civiles a la vez que amplía su zona de control. Y hacemos paradas también en Chile, Estados Unidos, Colombia y Ecuador.

SHOW 11-20-2025 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT PEACE IN EUROPE.. FIRST HOUR 9-915 Ukraine Envoy Keith Kellogg Quits After Plan for US Peace Leaked. Anatol Lieven discusses a leaked Ukraine peace plan involving potential US legal recognition of Russian annexation of Donbass and Crimea, which would pave the way for lifting US sanctions. The plan requires Ukraine to yield the remaining Donbass slice and accept limits on its army size, although Ukraine is not required to formally agree. Guest: Anatol Lieven. 915-930 continued 930-945 Professor George Is Right: Principle Sustains American Conservatism. Peter Berkowitz reviews Professor Robert George's assertion that American conservatism's core principle is the profound, inherent, and equal dignity of each human family member. George insisted that the movement must unequivocally reject white supremacists and anti-Semites, a rebuke directed at the Heritage Foundation president's defense of Tucker Carlson. This mirrors William F. Buckley's efforts to purge extremism from conservatism. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. 945-1000 US Adds 119,000 Jobs in September, but Unemployment Hits Four-Year Peak. Chris Regal discusses consumer liquidity challenges alongside the early impacts of AI on the workforce. AI is currently displacing white-collar jobs like consulting, but physical displacement via robotics is coming. He notes concerns about an AI investment bubble but affirms confidence in major companies like Amazon and Microsoft. Guest: Chris Regal. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Upcoming Election in Honduras. Mary Anastasia O'Grady discusses Honduran fears that the current left-wing party, allied with Venezuela and Cuba, will attempt to steal the upcoming election. This follows a playbook where elected leaders consolidate power by seizing control of institutions like the military and courts to avoid subsequent fair elections. The OAS and US State Department have issued warnings against election theft. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady. 1015-1030 Russia's Slowing Wartime Economy Pushes Kremlin to Increase Taxes and Fees. Michael Bernstam analyzes Russia's economic stagnation due to war expenditure and shortages, leading the Kremlin to raise taxes, including the VAT, to close the budget gap. Sanctions are biting deep, forcing Russia to offer huge discounts—up to $38 per barrel—to its primary oil customers: India, China, and Turkey. Guest: Michael Bernstam. 1030-1045 Launch of Blue Origin's New Glenn Rocket. Eric Berger describes the successful second launch and booster landing of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket as thrilling and a huge step forward. New Glenn is the world's third largest rocket and is crucial for Amazon's LEO constellation and NASA's Artemis moon program. Berger also supports Jared Isaacman's nomination to lead NASA. Guest: Eric Berger. 1045-1100 THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Autocrats Versus Democrats: China, Russia, America, and the New Global Disorder. Michael McFaul analyzes the Cold War, noting that the Cuban Missile Crisis taught the need for crisis management mechanisms with adversaries. He argues that the US was too complacent, first when engaging China after Tiananmen Square without stressing values, and later when failing to invest politically and economically to consolidate democracy in post-Soviet Russia. Guest: Michael McFaul. 1115-1130 1130-1145 1145-1200 FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 The New World Report.

Analizamos el contundente rechazo popular a la consulta de Daniel Noboa y cómo este batacazo evidencia el agotamiento del proyecto neoliberal alineado con Estados Unidos, las élites económicas y la agenda de militarización. Se profundiza en el uso político del miedo, la manipulación mediática, la persecución judicial contra el correísmo y la crisis social que atraviesa Ecuador, marcada por el aumento de la violencia y el deterioro de los servicios públicos. El contenido explica por qué la ciudadanía frenó el intento de Noboa de reconfigurar el país a medida de Washington y los grupos empresariales, y qué implica este resultado para el futuro político de la región.

In today's episode, I sit down with Ed Delgado, the President and CEO of Ecuatoriana Airlines, to talk about reviving Ecuador's iconic national carrier and the opportunity it presents. With over three decades in global aviation, Ed shares why Ecuador's underdeveloped domestic market, where buses remain the main competition, makes it one of the few regions where starting an airline still makes sense. We discuss the strategic plan backed by KPMG, the untapped tourism potential across the country's 14 airports, and how EquAir is positioning itself to reconnect Ecuador through domestic, regional, and eventually international routes built on a legacy brand.

PREVIEW Counterinsurgency Challenges and Narcoterrorism Threats Post-Intervention in Venezuela. Colonel Jeff McClausen, United States Army retired, examines the serious counterinsurgency challenges the US would face 50 days or 50 weeks after a potential Venezuelan intervention. The threat comes from narcoterrorism gangs operating from sanctuaries in neighboring countries like Colombia, Ecuador, or Brazil, who might use IEDs in the jungle if their livelihood is threatened. Colonel McClausen notes that while US forces fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, the focus has shifted to large-scale conventional warfare, leading to a loss of specialized counterinsurgency experience.

As 200 nations from around the globe meet on the edge of the Amazon rainforest to hammer out cooperative goals on climate change, Indigenous people are making their presence known. They are included in discussions but have no negotiation power outside of the official representation from the countries they reside in. Many Indigenous attendees have organized marches, experienced civil disobedience, and even clashed with security officials in order to have their voices heard. Notably absent from this year's talks is any senior Trump administration delegation. We'll hear Indigenous perspectives about their role at COP30. We'll also hear from Cree journalist Brandi Morin, who spent months reporting on conflicts between Indigenous communities in Ecuador and Canadian mining companies. Currently, Ecuador's president is working on reforming the country's constitution to open up more natural resources for extraction.

The past week featured the signing of the Continuing Resolution into law, ending the longest partial government shutdown in history. The president has also proposed a change to the way Obamacare subsidies are paid going forward. Rather than subsidizing ACA plans on the exchange, sending money directly to health insurance companies, President Trump is proposing the money be provided through Health Savings accounts that would be able to be used for the health care needs of the recipients to pursue their choice of healthcare options.  President Trump also announced new trade deals with El Salvador, Argentia, Ecuador and Guatemala and what was billed as a historic trade deal with Switzerland that will grant U.S. companies unprecedented access to sell into the country's markets.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan takes listeners across Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, and Chile to reveal a regional battle between the Left and the Right. He then connects these global trends to the rise of Democratic Socialism in the United States and explains what a socialist future for America would look like in the words of the Democratic Socialists of America themselves. Trump Weighs Strikes in Venezuela and Colombia: The USS Gerald Ford carrier strike group has arrived off the Venezuelan coast with fifteen thousand U.S. troops in the region. Trump says he will not rule out military action or even ground forces against the Maduro regime, which the State Department has formally labeled a terrorist organization. Maduro has offered Trump access to Venezuela's massive oil reserves in exchange for staying in power, and the White House is openly considering all options. In Colombia, Marxist president Gustavo Petro continues to defend his past with the M-19 terror group. Trump signaled he is willing to hit Colombian drug labs if necessary, saying he would be "proud" to destroy them. Mexico Erupts Over Cartel Violence: Mexico City saw a weekend of violent protests that left one hundred officers injured. Outrage grew after the assassination of a popular mayor in Michoacan by a cartel-recruited teen. Protesters blasted President Claudia Sheinbaum's approach of "Hugs, Not Bullets," arguing it has empowered cartels and left communities defenseless. Younger Mexicans filled the streets, furious that their country remains trapped between socialist leadership and cartel domination. Chile Rejects the Far Left: Seventy percent of Chilean voters backed conservative candidates in the first round of the presidential election. Jose Kast, a conservative Catholic with nine children, will face Communist Party member Jeanne Jara in the December runoff. Voters say crime, cartels, and mass illegal migration have pushed the nation to the breaking point. Kast has vowed to secure the border with walls and landmines, expand prisons, and cut leftist funding that has fueled unrest and economic decline. The Bigger Picture: A Hemisphere in Revolt: Across Latin America, leftist governments are collapsing under crime, corruption, and failed socialist policies. Voters in Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, Panama, and El Salvador have already swung to the Right. Europe is shifting too. Yet the United States is moving in the opposite direction. Cities like New York and Seattle are embracing radical Democratic Socialists who draw inspiration from Latin American Marxists. What a Socialist America Would Look Like: Bryan walks through the Democratic Socialists of America's own strategy document from 2012. The group calls for abolishing private business, seizing the means of production, replacing entrepreneurs with government bureaucrats, and using the Democratic Party as a host to move the country toward Marxism. DSA leaders admit there is no blueprint for how their system would work and acknowledge the violent history of Marxist regimes. Their model depends on free housing, free jobs, free education, and government assigned careers funded by an undefined source. Bryan warns that the movement is already advancing inside the Democratic Party with leaders like AOC and Zohran Mamdani openly following the playbook.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Venezuela USS Gerald Ford, Maduro cartel de los soles terrorism, Gustavo Petro M-19 Colombia strikes, Mexico City cartel protests Claudia Sheinbaum, Michoacan mayor assassination cartel teen, Chile election Jose Kast Jeanne Jara, Democratic Socialists of America 2012 document, DSA seize means of production, Mamdani AOC Democratic Party strategy

This week we talk about Venezuela, casus belli, and drug smuggling.We also discuss oil reserves, Maduro, and Machado.Recommended Book: Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt DinnimanTranscriptVenezuela, which suffered all sorts of political and economic crises under former president Hugo Chávez, has suffered even more of the same, and on a more dramatic scale, under Chávez's successor, Nicolás Maduro.Both Chávez and Maduro have ruled over autocratic regimes, turning ostensibly democratic Venezuelan governments into governments ruled by a single person, and those they like and empower and reward, over time removing anyone from power who might challenge them, and collapsing all checks and balances within the structure of their government.They still hold elections, then, but like in Russia, the voting is just for show, the outcome predetermined, and anyone who gets too popular and who isn't favored by the existing regime is jailed or killed or otherwise neutralized; the votes are then adjusted when necessary to make it look like the regime is still popular, and anyone who challenges that seeming popularity is likewise taken care of.As a result of that state of affairs, an unpopular regime with absolute power running things into the ground over the course of two autocrats' administrations, Venezuela has suffered immense hyperinflation, high levels of crime and widespread disease, ever-increasing mortality rates, and even starvation, as fundamentals like food periodically become scarce. This has led to a swell of emigration out of the country, which has, during the past decade, become the largest ever recorded refugee crisis in the Americas, those who leave mostly flooding into neighboring countries like Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador.As of 2025, it's estimated that nearly 8 million people, more than 20% of Venezuela's entire population as of 2017, has fled the country to get away from the government, its policies, its collapsed economy, and the cultural homogeny that has led to so much crime, conflict, and oppression of those not favored by the people in charge.This has also led to some Venezuelans trying to get into the US, which was part of the justification for a proposed invasion of the country, by the US government, under the first Trump administration in 2017.The idea was that this is a corrupt, weak government that also happens to possess the largest proven oil reserves in the world. Its production of oil has collapsed along with everything else, in part because the government is so ineffectual, and in part because of outside forces, like longstanding sanctions by the US, which makes selling and profiting from said oil on the global market difficult.Apparently, though, Trump also just liked the idea of invading Venezuela through US ally Colombia, saying—according to Trump's National Security advisor at the time, John Bolton—that Venezuela is really part of the US, so it would be “cool” for the US to take it. Trump also later said, in 2023, that when he left office Venezuela was about to collapse, and that he would have taken it over if he had been reelected instead of losing to Joe Biden, and the US would have then kept all the country's oil.So there's long been a seeming desire by Trump to invade Venezuela, partly on vibe grounds, the state being weak and why shouldn't we own it, that kind of thing? But underlying that is the notion of the US being a country that can stomp into weaker countries, take their oil, and then nation-build, similar to what the government seemed to be trying to do when it invaded Iraq in the early 2000s, using 9/11 as a casus belli, an excuse to go to war, with an uninvolved nation that happened to own a bunch of oil resources the US government wanted for itself.What I'd like to talk about today is the seeming resurgence of that narrative, but this time with an, actual tangible reason to believe an invasion of Venezuela might occur sometime soon.—As I mentioned, though previously kind of a success story in South America, bringing people in from all over the continent and the world, Venezuela has substantially weakened under its two recent autocratic leaders, who have rebuilt everything in their image, and made corruption and self-serving the main driver behind their decisions for the direction of the country.A very popular candidate, María Corina Machado, was barred from participating in the country's 2024 election, the country's Supreme Court ruling that a 15-year ban on her holding public office because of her involvement with an alleged plot against Maduro with a previous candidate for office, Juan Guaido; Guiado is now in exile, run out of the country for winning an election against Maduro, which Maduro's government has claimed wasn't legit, but which dozens of governments recognize as having been legitimate, despite Maduro's clinging to power after losing.So Machado is accused of being corrupt by Maduro's corrupt government, and thus isn't allowed to run for office. Another candidate that she wanted to have run in her place was also declared ineligible by Maduro's people, so another sub was found, Edmundo González, and basically every outside election watchdog group says that he won in 2024, and handedly, over Maduro. But the government's official results say that's not the case, that Maduro won, and that has created even more conflict and chaos in the country as it's become clearer and clearer that there's no way to oust the autocrat in control of the government—not through the voting box, at least.This is part of what makes Venezuela an even more appealing target, for the Trump administration, right now, because not only is Maduro incredibly unpopular and running the country into the ground, there's also a very popular alternative, in the shape of María Corina Machado, who could conceivably take control of things should Maduro be toppled. So there's a nonzero chance that if someone, like the US military, were to step in and either kill Maduro or run him out of town, they could make a very sweet deal with the incoming Machado government, including a deal that grants access to all that currently underutilized oil wealth.This is theoretical right now, but recent moves by the US government and military suggest it might not remain theoretical for much longer.In mid-November, 2025, the US Navy moved the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group to the Caribbean—the USS Gerald R Ford being an aircraft carrier, and the strike group being the array of ships and aircraft that accompany it—it was moved there from the Eastern Mediterranean, where it was moved following the attack on Israel that led to Israel's invasion of the Gaza Strip.This, by itself, doesn't necessarily mean anything; the shifting of aircraft carrier groups is often more symbolic than practical. But the US government has suggested it might us these vessels and aircraft to strike drug manufacturers across South and Central America, and specifically in Venezuela.This is being seen as an escalation of an already fraught moment in the region, because the US has launched a series of strikes against small boats in the area, beginning back in September of 2025.These boats, according to the US government, are drug smuggling vessels, bringing fentanyl, among other drugs, to US shores. So the idea is that the people aboard these boats are criminals who are killing folks in the US by bringing this drug, which is highly addictive and super potent, and thus more likely to kill its users than other opioids, into the country for illegal sale and distribution. So, the claim goes, this is a justified use of force.These strikes have thus far, over the past two months, killed at least 79 people, all alleged by the US government to be drug smugglers, despite some evidence to the contrary, in some cases. The US's allies have not been happy about these strikes, including allies the government usually relies on to help with drug-related detection and interdiction efforts, including regional governments that take action to keep drugs from shuffling around the region and eventually ending up in the US.Many US allies have also called the strikes illegal. The French foreign minister recently said they violate international law, and the EU's foreign policy chief said something similar, indicating that such use of force is only valid in cases of self-defense, and when there's a UN Security council resolution on the matter.Canadian and Dutch governments have been doing what they can to distance themselves from the strikes, without outright criticizing the at times vindictive US government, and some regional allies, like Colombia, have been signaling that they'll be less cooperative with the US when it comes to drug-related issues, saying that they would no longer share intelligence with the US until they stop the strikes, which they've called “extrajudicial executions.”An extrajudicial killing is one that is not lawful; it doesn't have the backing of a judicial proceeding, and thus lacks the authority typically granted by the proper facets of a government. Lacking such authority, killing is illegal. Given said authority, though, a killing can be made legal, at least according to the laws of the government doing the killing.The argument here is that while governments can usually get away with killing people, only authoritarian regimes typically and regularly to use that power to kill folks without going through the proper channels and thus getting the legal authority to do so.In this case, the facts seem to support the accusations of those who are saying these killings aren't legally legitimate: the Trump administration has launched these attacks on these vessels without going through the usual channels, and without declaring Congressionally approved war on anyone in particular. They've instead claimed that drug cartels are terrorists, and have said that anyone they suspect of smuggling drugs, or who they suspect in any way might be involved with the illegal drug making and smuggling industry, can be considered enemy, non-state combatants that they're allowed to kill at will.And as part of that declaration that the US government has the right to kill anyone they like who's involved in drug smuggling, in late-October 2025 it was reported that the US has identified targets on land, as well, some of these targets located within ports and airstrips across Venezuela, including those used by the Venezuelan government, which the Maduro regime allegedly also uses for drug smuggling purposes.This loops us back around to that original possibility that the Trump administration, looking for a casus belli, an excuse to go to war with Venezuela, may be using these strikes and the drug smuggling industry to get social and maybe legal backing for strikes that reach closer and closer to Maduro and the Venezuelan military.If the US were to strike some vital Venezuelan military ports, using drug smuggling as justification, but taking out Venezuelan military infrastructure and/or people in the process, would that be an act of war? Would that trigger a response from Maduro? Could that response then allow the US military to claim self-defense?These questions are up in the air right now, and that confusion could provide the opportunity to move fast and not have to suffer legal consequences until all is said and done, but it could also help shape the outcome of those decisions: ask for forgiveness, not permission, basically, but maybe not even forgiveness, if other aspects of the government come to support the Trump administration's decisions and rule in their favor, after the fact.Some analysts have said they suspect this drumbeat toward war with Venezuela is meant to solve several problems for the Trump administration. It could help them deal with plummeting approval numbers leading into a midterm election in 2026, and it could also give Trump himself cover from the escalating issue of the Epstein files, which, among other things, seem to connect Trump with someone who's become the world's most famous human trafficker and pedophile even more tightly than before.This sort of process may also serve to slowly bolster the perception that the presidency has more powers than it has traditionally wielded, like the ability to unilaterally declare war, even though such powers are supposed to rest with Congress; an extension of other efforts by this administration to reinforce the presidency at the expense of the checks and balances that are meant to keep the US government from becoming an autocracy, like the one in Venezuela.Show Noteshttps://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/01/27/venezuela-s-supreme-court-disqualifies-opposition-leader-from-running-for-president_6469941_4.htmlhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/06/venezuela-election-maduro-analysishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Venezuelan_presidential_electionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_Strike_Group_12https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/15/politics/venezuela-trump-military-what-we-knowhttps://www.cnn.com/2025/11/12/americas/venezuela-us-aircraft-carrier-reaction-latam-intlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/us/politics/trump-pressure-venezuela.htmlhttps://www.npr.org/2025/11/15/nx-s1-5609888/aircraft-carrier-caribbean-venezuela-military-actionhttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/nov/16/us-rogue-state-extrajudicial-killings-venezuelahttps://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/11/15/trump-maduro-venezuela-column-00652369https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/justice-department-drug-boat-strike-memo-83711582https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/world/americas/trump-drug-boat-strikes-colombian-fisherman.htmlhttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c7810w37vwdohttps://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2025/11/13/colombia-to-suspend-intelligence-sharing-with-us-over-boat-strikes/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_United_States_military_strikes_on_alleged_drug_traffickershttps://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/2025/11/trump-boat-strikes-killings-venezuela/684921/https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/trump-boat-strikes-drug-9bbbeb90?mod=hp_lead_pos11https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrajudicial_killinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_in_Venezuelahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venezuelan_refugee_crisishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_United_States_invasion_of_Venezuela This is a public episode.

The All Whites play for the final time in 2025 tomorrow. The New Zealanders kicked off the year with a 7-nil win over Fiji in March and will close it out against Ecuador who have developed a reputation as one of football's best defensive sides. Sports reporter Felicity Reid spoke to Lisa Owen.

The gang is here to recap #CanMNT vs Ecuador, the NSL Final of Toronto v Vancouver, discuss the near futures of the NSL and MLS, Canada bows out of the U-17 World Cup, preview #CanMNT v Venezuela, see if Alfie can play, and the usual malarkey. In this episode Duncan made it to the game (and is reminded why he doesn't go anymore), Kristin is REALLY into doing voices now, and Mark really has a go at his season's ticket increase.

En Ecuador, tras el rotundo NO al referéndum del presidente Daniel Noboa, la opositora y ex candidata a la presidencia Luisa González celebró la derrota diciendo que "la patria venció al odio y derrotó a la prepotencia", pero algunos analistas aseguran que el resultado también dejó al descubierto la fragilidad de todo el sistema político del país. Las encuestas aseguraban que Daniel Noboa iba a obtener el apoyo de los ecuatorianos como sucedió en las elecciones de 2024 y 2025 que le dieron la victoria, pero esta vez los ecuatorianos dijeron NO a sus planes de seguridad y rechazaron una nueva Constitución. “El presidente cometió errores en la campaña electoral” Fernando Carrión, investigador de FLACSO (Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales) en Ecuador, explica a RFI las claves de la derrota: “En primer lugar, yo creo que el presidente cometió algunos errores en la campaña electoral. Por ejemplo, que una de las bases militares iría en Galápagos, que es patrimonio natural de la humanidad, y eso me parece que hizo que muchos jóvenes lo vean como una cosa negativa”. “En segundo lugar, planteó la necesidad de que todo el sistema de salud del seguro social pase al Ministerio de Salud del Gobierno nacional. En tercer lugar, él señaló en una entrevista que no iba a dar las explicaciones de por qué una nueva Constitución hasta el día 16 en la noche, es decir, una vez que se produzcan los resultados. Y eso generó muchísima incertidumbre, sobre todo con gente vinculada a los temas claves que están en la Constitución”, agrega. “Ecuador va a entrar en una crisis muy fuerte” Los ecuatorianos rechazaron una nueva Constitución, dijeron no a reducir el número de congresistas, no a que el Gobierno dejara de financiar los partidos políticos y no a la instalación de bases militares extranjeras. ¿Cómo gobernará Noboa de aquí al término de su mandato en 2029? “Lo que queda claro es que el sistema de representación política en el país está en una crisis muy fuerte. Yo diría que lo que se miró este domingo es que prácticamente, partidos políticos no existen. Lo más complicado va a ser hacia el futuro, el poder establecer políticas de generación de acuerdos”, subraya el analista. “La impresión que tengo es que el Ecuador va a entrar en una crisis muy fuerte. Uno en el ámbito político, como digo, porque no hay partidos políticos. Dos en el tema de seguridad, porque este año vamos a terminar con una tasa de homicidios superior a los 50 homicidios por 100.000 habitantes. Y creo que también el próximo año no será bueno en términos económicos. Según las proyecciones, se estima que el crecimiento de la economía del país del próximo año será de 1.7, 1.8%, lo cual muestra que está muy por debajo de lo que el país necesita”, indica Carrión. La represión que desplegó Noboa contra los manifestantes que pedían el regreso del subsidio al diésel también influyó en el referéndum. En la provincia de Imbabura, epicentro de las manifestaciones, el NO recibió entre el 61 y 68%.

What happens when science, law, and love for the Ocean come together? Callie Veelenturf, marine conservation biologist and National Geographic Explorer, has walked the nesting beaches with sea turtles and worked hand in hand with coastal communities, turning relationship into real protection. Michelle Bender, an international leader in Ocean Rights, is helping reshape law itself—pioneering policies that recognize the Ocean and her beings not as resources, but as relatives with rights of their own.In this conversation, Callie and Michelle share how their paths of biology and law weave into a movement for change: sea turtles and people thriving side by side, orcas and other beings gaining legal recognition, and humanity stepping into its role as caretaker of the living Sea. Be inspired by two voices showing that transformation is not only possible—it is already underway.Callie Veelenturf is a marine conservation biologist, National Geographic Explorer, a Scientist with the United Nations Harmony with Nature Programme, and Founder of The Leatherback Project and National Geographic Society's program For Nature, who inspires high-impact conservation measures through collaborative scientific research initiatives. Callie has a special focus on marine turtles, ocean ecosystems and the Rights of Nature. As Founder of The Leatherback Project, she has trained over two thousand Panamanian Army and Navy soldiers in the recognition of illegal sea turtle products; identified new to science sea turtle nesting and foraging sites; and spearheaded groundbreaking conservation proposals and laws in Panama including a new National Wildlife Refuge; Law 287 recognizing the Rights of Nature; and Article 29 of Law 371 that recognizes sea turtles as legal entities with specific rights. She leads the Operations for three field research programs that document coastal development threats, justify new protection measures, and combat fisheries bycatch in the Pearl Islands Archipelago, Darien Gap, and project Iluminar el Mar from 2022-2025 in Ecuador.  Most recently, she has received the 2024 Future For Nature Award, 2024 Schmidt Ocean Institute Visionary Award, and 2024 New Explorer of The Year Award from The Explorers Club and been named a 2022 United Nations Development Programme Ocean Innovator and 2020 National Geographic Early Career Leader.Michelle Bender is the creator and leading expert in the movement towards "Ocean Rights," the application of Rights of Nature in the ocean policy seascape. She has provided her expertise to Rights of Nature laws and policies worldwide, including in the United States (Rhode Island and Washington), Panama (national law, sea turtle conservation law and marine reserve), the Philippines (national law), Aruba (constitutional amendment), the Moananui Sanctuary Agreement to recognise whales as legal persons, and within international law and institutions (IUCN Motion 056 (2025)). She serves on the Advisory Board for the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature, is a member of the IUCN's World Commission on Environmental Law, an expert of the UN Harmony with Nature initiative and Steering Committee Member for the UN Ocean Decade Coordination Office on Connecting People and the Ocean. In 2018, she was named one of 15 Youth Ocean Leaders taking on the world internationally by the Sustainable Ocean Alliance. Michelle graduated Summa Cum Laude from Vermont Law School, where she earned a Master's in Environmental Law and Policy and holds a B.S. in Biology with a Marine Emphasis from Western Washington University.  To learn more about Michelle and her work visit the Ocean Vision Legal website.  Support the show

Hello! Today we are going to talk about Ecuador. One of the most wonderful nature. Interesting facts and curiosities about this wonderful country in Latin America. I will be reading a text in Spanish very slowly and you will try to understand word by word.

De hecho, Ecuador es el único país del mundo que lleva el nombre de una característica geográfica. El nombre oficial del país es «República del Ecuador». A las afueras de Quito hay un famoso monumento para marcar la línea ecuatorial. El monumento está a unos 240 metros del ecuador real. Las Islas Galápagos inspiraron la teoría de la evolución. Las Islas Galápagos son famosas gracias a Charles Darwin y su teoría de la evolución. La teoría se centra en los pinzones de las islas. Darwin examinó la forma en que la misma especie de ave había evolucionado de manera diferente en cada una de las 21 islas de Galápagos.Ecuador es el paraíso de un observador de aves. Esta es una de las mejores curiosidades de Ecuador para los amantes de la naturaleza. Ecuador tiene más aves por kilómetro cuadrado que cualquier otro lugar del mundo. Con 1.632 especies diferentes confirmadas y 48 otras especies hipotéticas. Ecuador tiene el punto más cercano al sol y la montaña más alta desde el centro de la Tierra.  El Everest es la montaña más alta del mundo. Sin embargo, el Chimborazo, con sus 6.268 metros, se considera el punto más cercano al Sol. La Virgen del Panecillo es la única virgen en el mundo con alas de ángel. Esta estatua de 41 metros de altura es uno de los iconos de Quito. Ecuador, Colombia y Venezuela fueron un mismo país. Cuando consiguió la Independencia de España en 1822, Ecuador se unió al proyecto de la Gran Colombia. Por aquel entonces era un enorme país que abarcaba los territorios de los actuales Ecuador, Colombia y Venezuela. Estaba liderada por Simón Bolívar y pretendía crear una nación muy fuerte para competir con las principales potencias europeas. Ecuador es tierra de volcanes. Hay 95 en su territorio (incluyendo los de las Islas Galápagos) y lo más asombroso (y un poco acojonante) es que 35 de ellos están activos o potencialmente activos. Uno de los datos más interesantes sobre la cultura ecuatoriana es que existen al menos 14 idiomas reconocidos que se hablan en el país. El español es el idioma oficial, mientras que también se reconocen 13 idiomas indígenas, incluidos el quichua y el shua.Los plátanos son un producto alimenticio importante en Ecuador. Los plátanos son un elemento indispensable de la dieta y la cocina ecuatoriana. En el país crecen alrededor de 300 tipos diferentes de plátanos para satisfacer la demanda interna, por lo que podemos decir que aquí realmente hay un plátano para cada día y ocasión. Durante los últimos 60 años, Ecuador ha sido uno de los mayores productores mundiales de esta fruta, produciendo el 25% de los plátanos del mundo. My new Youtube channel: Spanish with Dennishttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVuRUMQGwtzBIp1YAImQFQMy new Discord server and chat and you can already join and write to me there:https://discord.gg/HWGrnmTmyCMy new Telegram channel and you can already join and write to me or comment there:https://t.me/SpanishwithDennisJoin my Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/spanishwithdennisSupport me by joining my podcasts supporter club on Spreaker:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/slow-spanish-language--5613080/supportDonate with Boosty:https://boosty.to/spanishwithdennis/donateDonate with Donation Alerts:https://www.donationalerts.com/r/dennisespinosaDonate with Crypto currency:Bitcoin (BTC)1DioiGPAQ6yYbEgcxEFRxWm5hZJcfLG9V6USDT (ERC20)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855USDT (TRC20)TXoQwsaiTGBpWVkyeigApLT8xC82rQwRCNEthereum (ETH)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855If you have any other suggestions or recommendations on what other platform you can support me and my podcasts, please let me know.

Rogers customers blame lack of competition and customer protections in Canada for long customer service wait times. Prime Minister Mark Carney's minority government faces crucial confidence vote on budget. Inflation fell to 2.2% per cent last month, from 2.4% in the month of September. President Donald Trump now encouraging Republicans to vote in favour of releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files. Voters in Ecuador reject proposal to enable the United States to send troops into their country. Dozens of Indian pilgrims presumed dead in bush crash near Medina, Saudi Arabia. Bangladesh's ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina convicted of crimes against humanity, sentenced to death.

In this episode, we sit down with Jimmy Hurtado — Founder and President of Returning Smiles, a nonprofit devoted to bringing hope, food, faith, and essential resources to children and families in need both locally and in Ecuador. With 19 years of leadership experience at Sweet Dreams Furniture & Mattress, Jimmy has built a reputation as a purpose-driven operations and marketing strategist who leads through service, heart, and faith.   Jimmy shares his journey from business success to creating meaningful impact, revealing how his passion for people, community, and faith inspired him to launch Returning Smiles and transform compassion into action. Through his lens as a servant leader and bilingual communicator (EN/ES), he reminds us that true success is measured not by what we achieve, but by how we uplift others along the way.   Tune in to discover how Jimmy turns purpose into practice, faith into fuel, and success into significance—one smile at a time.  

In this episode of Mark & Pete, the boys tackle three stories that prove the world has not yet learned to behave itself. First up: Donald Trump threatens to sue the BBC for billions after an edited clip of his January 6th speech sparks outrage and accusations of media misconduct. We explore what's actually happened, the legal reality behind defamation claims, and why this case matters far beyond the headlines — touching on truth, trust, and the strange modern dance between politicians and broadcasters. Then we head to The Barking Dog, where a pub quiz team has been caught cheating with smartwatches and phones, raising the eternal British question: is nothing sacred, not even general knowledge and the picture round? Mark and Pete unpack how technology, temptation, and a desire to win three pints of lager collide in one very British scandal. Finally, we go global with banana-related trade drama, as U.S. tariffs shift again, affecting countries like Guatemala and Ecuador.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mark-and-pete--1245374/support.Supporters get updates on new projects and hot takes on the latest news plus Mark and Pete Extra  in depth commentary episodes and Mark and Pete vs AI  comedy episodes.
