Wine Talks is deeply connected to the Judgement of Paris. Not only were the Barretts good customers of our wine shop, Warren Winiarski stayed in our home on a trip to Los Angeles. The industry was completely different then. California wine had always been a thing, particularly before prohibition. It had even made its way to the east coast in the 1800's. But then came that fateful day in Paris at the Intercontinental Hotel, the Americans won. In Paris, there was a journalist named George Taber. He had heard about this tasting pitting California's boutique gems against the equivalent (at least from a grape standpoint) French stars. It turned out to be no contest and set the wine world on its ears. Can you imagine, French judges choosing American vintages over their beloved French wines?  George Taber was the only journalist to show up...and almost didn't. George Taber never meant to shake the wine world—he just happened to be the only journalist in the room when California shattered centuries of French pride. As you join us on Wine Talks, you'll walk beside Taber through the candlelit salons of 1970s Paris, where the unsuspecting French sat down to a blind tasting designed to showcase their invincibility, only to watch that myth dissolve, glass by glass. In this episode, you'll learn how a simple event—what began as a friendly challenge orchestrated by Steven Spurrier—ended up catalyzing the global rise of American wine and undermining the Old World's complacency. You'll get an intimate portrait of the Parisian wine scene in its heyday: corner wine shops, eager expatriates, and the odd British merchant shaking things up with unorthodox ideas. Follow Taber's transformation from a young Time magazine reporter, new to France and mostly ignorant of wine, to the accidental chronicler of one of history's most dramatic palate shifts. Discover how logistical headaches and legal loopholes almost kept California's best bottles out of the competition, and what happened when French wine judges realized—too late—that their favorite “Meursault” was actually a Napa Chardonnay. You'll hear about the aftershocks reverberating through both continents; how careers were built, fortunes made, and the entire wine business transformed overnight. Plus, Taber reveals the stubborn role of luck in history and how something as small as attending the right tasting at the right time can change everything. By the end, you'll not only understand the Judgment of Paris, but also the passion, humility, and disruption that lie inside every bottle. #WineTalks #JudgmentOfParis #CaliforniaWine #FrenchWine #GeorgeTaber #StevenSpurrier #ChateauMontelena #StagsLeapWineCellars #NapaValley #WineHistory #WineTasting #WineEducation #BlindTasting #WineIndustry #PodcastInterview #WineStorytelling #WineCulture #CorkHistory #FrenchLifestyle #NewWorldWines   Time Magazine Website: https://time.com (Armen refers to working as a journalist at Time magazine.)

*Includes Spoilers from the Show and Book Series*In the last episode of Season 3 of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' called "At Last" we finally get our endgame. The will they/won't they of Conrad and Belly finally comes to the forefront of the series in plot IN PARIS. This was as seamless and perfect as one could ask of a series finale! We are so excited to breakdown all of the scenes. From Jeremiah finding his way the new culinary world & making real progress in moving on from Belly with new goals/attitude/focus to Staylor trying to navigate a big decision to move to San Francisco... the episode gave direction and meaning to everyone. When Conrad gets to Paris, there is awkwardness, tenderness and enough sexy tension between Belly and him to cut with a knife. The Parisian friends are on board but the beautiful journey these two go on is something that is so intriguing to watch even with the love triangle part of the series in the rearview. Conrad lays it all out there and Belly is faced with answering some big questions... but are there things we don't get? Yup. But don't worry, the series and Jenny Han handled that for us too. Enjoy this listen of the END of TSITP TV Show Series :) but not the last chapter.

Is the centre-right cracking? From Westminster defections to French fiscal chaos, this week has delivered a sharp shock to Europe's conservative mainstream. In London, Tory MP Danny Kruger crossed the floor to join Reform UK, denouncing his former party as “over.” In Paris, a fresh downgrade to France's credit rating has cast a long shadow over President Macron's government as strikes loom and talk of wealth taxes rattles business leaders.In this timely edition of The Capitalist, host Marc Sidwell is joined by policy analyst François Valentin and Conservative Home deputy editor Henry Hill to explore what these moments reveal about the state of centre-right politics across the continent. Are voters turning away from moderation? Can mainstream parties adapt — or are they being outflanked on both sides?Sharp analysis, calm insight — and the questions every serious observer of European politics should be asking.Stay informed with CapX's unmissable daily briefings from the heart of Westminster.

Following years of tension, the presidents of Turkey and France are finding new areas of cooperation. Ukraine is at the centre of this shift, but the Palestinian territories, the Caucasus and Africa are also emerging as shared priorities. However, analysts warn that serious differences remain, making for an uneasy partnership. French President Emmanuel Macron is pushing for the creation of a military force to secure any peace deal made between Russia and Ukraine. Turkey, which boasts NATO's second-largest army, is seen as a key player in any such move – especially given that Washington has ruled out sending US troops. For its part, Ankara has said it is open to joining a peacekeeping mission. “Macron finally came to terms [with the fact] that Turkey is an important player, with or without the peace deal. Turkey will have an important role to play in the Black Sea and in the Caucasus,” said Serhat Guvenc, professor of international relations at Istanbul's Kadir Has University. Macron last month held a lengthy phone call with his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, focused on the Ukraine conflict, and thanked him for his diplomatic efforts to end the war. Turkey eyes Ukraine peacekeeping role but mistrust clouds Western ties Turning point For Professor Federico Donelli of Trieste University, this marks a dramatic turnaround. Previously, the two leaders have frequently exchanged sharp words, especially over Turkey's rising influence in West Africa and the Sahel. “In Paris, public opinion and the press criticised this move by Turkey a lot,” said Donelli. “At the same time, the rhetoric of some Turkish officers, including President Erdogan, was strongly anti-French. They were talking a lot about the neocolonialism of France and so on.” Donelli added that cooperation over Ukraine has pushed France to reconsider its Africa stance. “As a consequence of Ukraine, the position of France has changed, and they are now more open to cooperating with Turkey. And they [understand] that in some areas, like the Western Sahel, Turkey is better than Russia, better than China,” he said. Analysts also see new openings in the Caucasus. A peace agreement signed in August between Azerbaijan, which was backed by Turkey, and Armenia, which was supported by France, could provide further common ground. Macron last month reportedly pressed Erdogan to reopen Turkey's border with Armenia, which has been closed since 1993. Turkish and Armenian officials met on the countries' border on Thursday to discuss the normalisation of relations. Turkey walks a tightrope as Trump threatens sanctions over Russian trade 'Pragmatic cooperation' But clear differences remain, especially when it comes to Syria. The rise to power of Turkish-backed President Ahmed al-Sharaa is seen as undermining any French role there. “For Erdogan, the victory of al-Sharaa in Damascus on 24 December is the revenge of the Ottoman Empire, and Ankara doesn't want to see the French come back to Syria,” said Fabrice Balanche, a professor of international relations at Lyon University. Balanche argued that France is losing ground to Turkey across the region. “It's not just in Syria, but also in Lebanon – the Turks are very involved, and in Iraq, too. We [the French] are in competition with the Turks. They want to expel France from the Near East,” he said. Despite this rivalry, Guvenc predicted cooperation will continue where interests align. “In functional terms, Turkey's contributions are discussed, and they will do business, but it's going to be transactional and pragmatic cooperation, nothing beyond that,” he said. One such area could be the Palestinian territories. Both Macron and Erdogan support recognition of a Palestinian state and are expected to raise the issue at this month's United Nations General Assembly. For now, shared interests are likely to outweigh differences – even if only temporarily.

Nach dem Sturz von François Bayrou braucht Frankreich einen neuen Premier und eine neue Regierung. Es wird die Fünfte in zwei Jahren sein. Längst sind die Beliebtheitswerte von Präsident Emmanuel Macron im Keller. Dass er eine Neuwahl ausruft ist unwahrscheinlich, denn schon bei der letzten vorgezogenen Wahl erlangte sein Regierungsbündnis keine Mehrheit mehr. Die Französinnen und Franzosen sind Umfragen zufolge unzufrieden. Die Staatsverschuldung ist auf einem Rekordhoch, an den Sozialausgaben soll stark gespart werden, die wirtschaftliche Lage stockt. Zwei Drittel der Franzosen wünschen sich eine vorgezogene Präsidentschaftswahl. Sie stehen nicht mehr hinter Macron. Kämpft Frankreich mit mehr als nur einer Regierungskrise? Befinden sich die französische Demokratie und Gesellschaft auch längst tief in der Krise? Darüber sprechen wir mit der Politikwissenschaftlerin Claire Demesmay, dem Chefvolkswirt Carsten Brzeski von der ING und der Journalistin und Filmemacherin Géraldine Schwarz. Podcasttipp: Breitengrad - Bayern2 Frankreich - die Macht der rechten Meinungsmacher In Paris fand im Juni ein Gipfeltreffen von Meinungsmachern der besonderen Art statt. Im altehrwürdigen Casino de Paris im Herzen der französischen Hauptstadt trafen sich Parteienvertreter, Unternehmer und Journalisten des extrem rechten politischen Spektrums zu einem "sommet des libertés" - einem sogenannten "Gipfel der Freiheiten". Organisiert und finanziert wurde dieses Rendezvous der Rechten von zwei Milliardären: Vincent Bolloré und Pierre-Édouard Stérin. Während Bolloré seit Jahren Medien und Verlagshäuser aufkauft und auf rechts dreht, finanziert Sterin andere gesellschaftliche Einrichtungen, wie etwa eine Journalistenschule, ein Fortbildungsinstitut für Politiker, Vereine gegen Abtreibung etc. Gemeinsam streben sie eine gesellschaftliche Wende an, einen nationalistisch-identitären Rechtsruck und die politische Union der Rechten, damit diese die nächsten Wahlen gewinnt.

In 1940, with the Nazis sweeping through France, Henri Matisse found himself at a personal and artistic crossroads. His 42-year marriage had ended, he was gravely ill, and after decades at the forefront of modern art, he was beset by doubt. As scores of famous figures escaped the country, Matisse took refuge in Nice, with his companion, Lydia Delectorskaya. By defiantly remaining, Matisse was a source of inspiration for his nation. While enemy agents and Resistance fighters played cat-and-mouse in the alleyways of Nice, Matisse's son, Jean, engaged in sabotage efforts with the Allies. In Paris, under the swastika, Matisse's estranged wife, Amélie, worked for the Communist underground. His beloved daughter, Marguerite, active in the French Resistance, was arrested and tortured by the Gestapo, sentenced to Ravensbruck concentration camp—and miraculously escaped when her train was halted by Allied bombs. His younger, son, Pierre helped Jewish artists escape to New York; even his teenaged grandson risked his life by defying the Germans and their Vichy collaborators. Amidst this chaos, Matisse responded to the dark days of war by inventing a dazzling new paper technique that led to some of his most iconic pieces, including The Fall of Icarus, his profile of Charles De Gaulle, Monsieur Loyal, and his groundbreaking cut-out book, Jazz. His wartime works were acts of resistance, subtly patriotic and daringly new.Drawing on intimate letters and a multitude of other sources, Christopher C. Gorham illuminates this momentous stage of Matisse's life as never before in Matisse at War: Art and Resistance in Nazi Occupied France (Citadel Press, 2025), revealing an artist on a journey of reinvention, wrenching meaning from the suffering of war, and holding up the light of human imagination against the torch of fascism to create some of the most exciting work of his career, of the 20th century, and in the history of art. Guest: Christopher C. Gorham (he/him) is a lawyer, educator, and acclaimed author whose books include Matisse at War and the Goodreads Choice Award finalist, The Confidante. He lives in Boston, and can be found at ChristopherCGorham.com and on social media @christophercgorham. Host: Jenna Pittman (she/her), a Ph.D. student in the Department of History at Duke University.

Edition No242 | 06-09-2025 - Europe gears up—again—for tougher sanctions on Russia but always seems to keep one foot on the brake at the same time as the accelerator. In Paris, the U.S. envoy, Witless Witkoff stormed in, then stormed out again, of a high stakes meeting with Zelenskyy and European leaders. And in Washington, the Trump White House talks tough, yet holds back on hitting Putin directly — every single time – while scolding Europe about Russian oil that still seeps in through economic cracks. Let's connect the dots, call out the pressures, and say the quiet part out loud: neither Europe, nor the U.S. have done anything that has real deterrence power. No wonder Putin is intent on continuing his war, with a sense of complete impunity. Europe's Sanctions Jitters, Paris Drama, and the Fine Art of Trump ManagementFirst the good news: Europe does understand the threat. After a Paris summit of the so-called “Coalition of the Willing,” European Council President António Costa confirmed that a team is flying to Washington to co-write a joint Russia sanctions package—explicitly including secondary sanctions in the draft. His words in Uzhhorod were unambiguous: “We are working with the U.S. and other partners to intensify our pressure through additional sanctions, both direct and secondary sanctions.” (Kyiv Independent, Sept. 5, 2025) Ukrainska Pravda reported the same: Brussels has already begun work on the next package and is sending a team to coordinate it with U.S. counterparts.

The Book of Travels Ḥannā Diyāb: A Conversation with Johannes StephanThe Book of Travels is Ḥannā Diyāb's remarkable first-person account of his travels as a young man from his hometown of Aleppo to the court of Versailles and back again, which forever linked him to one of the most popular pieces of world literature, the Thousand and One Nights.Diyāb, a Maronite Christian, served as a guide and interpreter for the French naturalist and antiquarian Paul Lucas. Between 1706 and 1716, Diyāb and Lucas traveled through Syria, Cyprus, Egypt, Tripolitania, Tunis, Italy, and France. In Paris, Ḥannā Diyāb met Antoine Galland, who added to his wildly popular translation of the Thousand and One Nights several tales related by Diyāb, including “Aladdin” and “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.” When Lucas failed to make good on his promise of a position for Diyāb at Louis XIV's Royal Library, Diyāb returned to Aleppo. In his old age, he wrote this engaging account of his youthful adventures, from capture by pirates in the Mediterranean to quack medicine and near-death experiences.Translated into English for the first time, The Book of Travels introduces readers to the young Syrian responsible for some of the most beloved stories from the Thousand and One Nights.

 One of my favorite things about Roseanna M. White's books is her attention to detail not just with historic facts but LOCATIONS. She does a fabulous job of ensuring that the faiths of her characters match their locales (she has a great blog post about this that you don't want to miss, too!).  Speaking of research and faith, listen in to learn more what went into The Collector of Burned Books. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.   Of course, when you talk to a historical fiction author, you learn all kinds of new facts you didn't know.  I think my favorite (and most surprising!) fact was that the Catholic sectors were most against Nazis.  I shouldn't be surprised, but I was. I love how she wove the horrible facts of history together with a beautiful commitment to truth and freedom and created this story.  You won't want to miss it. The Collector of Burned Books by Roseanna M. White  In this gripping World War II historical about the power of words, two people form an unlikely friendship amid the Nazi occupation in Paris and fight to preserve the truth that enemies of freedom long to destroy. Paris, 1940. Ever since the Nazi Party began burning books, German writers exiled for their opinions or heritage have been taking up residence in Paris. There they opened a library meant to celebrate the freedom of ideas and gathered every book on the banned list . . . and even incognito versions of the forbidden books that were smuggled back into Germany. For the last six years, Corinne Bastien has been reading those books and making that library a second home. But when the German army takes possession of Paris, she loses access to the library and all the secrets she'd hidden there. Secrets the Allies will need if they have any hope of liberating the city she calls home. Christian Bauer may be German, but he never wanted anything to do with the Nazi Party―he is a professor, one who's done his best to protect his family as well as the books that were a threat to Nazi ideals. But when Goebbels sends him to Paris to handle the “relocation” of France's libraries, he's forced into an army uniform and given a rank he doesn't want. In Paris, he tries to protect whoever and whatever he can from the madness of the Party and preserve the ideas that Germans will need again when that madness is over, and maybe find a lost piece of his heart.

Madame Debra Shaw wanted to see Paris. So she entered a model competition that enabled her to. In Paris, she walked for Thierry Mugler. Then she channelled Diana Ross in Mahogany for Gianfranco Ferre at Dior. Meeting Alexander McQueen and John Galliano taught Shaw the strategy of moving arms and legs in rhythmic dance. Just make it catwalk. The legendary supermodel used music from Billy Joel, George Michael and A Tribe Called Quest to understand how to sell the product, plus move elegantly throughout her life. Alongside DJ Fat Tony, Debra Shaw recounts how she gave her Princess Bundi, Dorothy Dandridge and Masai goddess catwalk characters from 90s Galliano energy: by controlling their narratives. She also raids Diana's closet. Listen closer to discover which Diana. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

During what he calls a “terrible soccer game” his son was playing, Ademir Sarcevic picked up a recruiter's call that would change his career. The game was lopsided, but the timing was fortunate. Within months, Sarcevic was interviewing with Standex International's leadership team. By 2019, he was CFO of the diversified manufacturer, helping guide a portfolio that spans precision electronics to specialty machinery.Sarcevic's readiness for that moment was shaped years earlier in Sarajevo. He came to the United States during the Bosnian war in the mid-1990s, an experience that taught him to “be ready for anything.” His first job after graduate school was at General Instrument Corporation, where a finance rotational program exposed him to audit, FP&A, and accounting. Later, at a pre-IPO company, he helped take the firm public—only to see the dot-com crash unfold immediately after. It was a lesson in resilience and the unpredictability of markets, Sarcevic tells us.International assignments added new perspectives. In Paris, he served as controller for a billion-dollar Tyco business, and in Switzerland he became CFO for a Pentair global unit. Along the way, he experienced more mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures than he can count, reinforcing the value of flexibility and objectivity.At Standex, Sarcevic applies these lessons through a disciplined M&A approach. Every acquisition, he tells us, must meet three tests: “strategic fit, financial sense, and culture.” That rigor has paid off—recent acquisitions, he notes, “have been phenomenal…performing better than we even thought.”

In 1989, Keith LaMar (aka Bomani Shakur) was sent to prison at age 19 for murder. He had been living in Cleveland, Ohio, where he sold drugs as a means of survival in the Crack-infested streets he knew as home. On a day that would forever change his life, Keith was robbed at gunpoint and exchanged gunfire with his robbers. He was shot twice in his legs and hit one of the other men in the chest. That young man, one a childhood friend, died. Keith pled guilty and was sent to prison for 18 years-to-life. Four years later, Keith was attempting to put together the broken pieces of his life at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility, hoping for another chance at life. It was an Easter Sunday, and the weather had just turned warmer; Keith and about 400 other men were outside exercising in the rec-yard when commotion broke out inside and it became clear that some type of protest was underway. Keith made a quick decision to slip inside for a few minutes to secure his personal belongings (since his cell assignment was in the area being taken over). Once back out in the yard, he and the others waited to see what would transpire, watching as the bodies of several men were dumped onto the yard. As Easter came to an end, the Ohio State Highway Patrol rounded up those on the yard and secured them into another part of the facility. Prison records prove that Keith was among them. Though no one could have predicted what exactly was happening, or how it would all result, an 11-day siege ensued. In the end, nine inmates and one guard ultimately lost their lives. When the dust began to settle, the State of Ohio needed someone on whom to pin several of the early inmate deaths. This is where Keith's troubles began… A few months later, several prisoners were enticed with the promise of early paroles and/or dropped charges if only they would come up with a reasonable story to help the State sweep up the “mess” at their out-of-control prison. They determined Keith would be the fall guy, and they pointed their fingers at him. Thus, to make it all come together convincingly, the prosecution withheld actual confessions from his defense, as well as eyewitness statements that contradicted their fabricated version of events. In spite of zero DNA or forensic evidence, they moved forward with their accusations against Keith. In fact, they made sure his trial would be racially biased in their favor by calling for the removal of the few potential black jurors, and by holding his trial in an all-white county in southern Ohio. In spite of having no motive to kill anyone, no actual proof connecting him, nor any affiliation with any of the groups organizing the uprising, the jury didn't take long to find Keith LaMar guilty of the murder of five of the inmates. He was sentenced to death. Albert Marquès is a pianist, composer, and political activist from a working class, industrial town outside of Barcelona, where he worked in factories through school. A member of a Catalan anti-capitalist organization as a teenager, he narrowly escaped being detained for his activism. Influenced by the local punk scene, as well as jazz recordings of musicians like Chick Corea, Brad Mehldau, Michel Camilo and Herbie Hancock, he was self-taught until he attended Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu. After graduation, he made two pivotal trips which changed his life, spending a month in the West Bank in Palestine and a month in Cuba. During his four years in Barcelona, he played with the best musicians of the scene, such as Marc Miralta, thanks to his unique, non-academic sound. Upon graduating, he moved to Paris, where he worked in a McDonald's until he learned French. In Paris, he played with musicians such as Remi Vignolo and Pierre Perchaud, and became the pianist in African American drummer Leon Parker's quartet. At 25, Albert moved to New York City, without knowing even one person, to play jazz. After a year and a half working as a waiter and going to jam sessions every night, he met his mentor Arturo O'Farrill, who gave him his own baby grand piano. In addition to his musical influence and encouragement, O'Farrill hired him to teach with his organization, the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance, a non-profit that gives free Latin jazz music lessons in the most disadvantaged New York City public schools. Albert also plays and collaborates with his sons, Adam and Zack O'Farrill. In 2014, he married the sculptor Mia Pearlman, with whom he has two children, Aviva and Sol. It is in New York that he finally combined his biggest influences: contemporary jazz, flamenco, Afro Cuban music and social justice by creating Freedom First. He has recorded four albums as a band leader, and regularly collaborates with rhythm master Ari Hoenig, Spanish flamenco singer and saxophonist Antonio Lizana, and other American and European musicians. ​Marques is the Music Director at the Institute for Collaborative Education in NY, a progressive, public middle and high school in downtown Manhattan.

Episode #370: "Why are [Asian women] not allowed to dream that we can open our own thing and lead our own work?" This question by human rights lawyer Emilie Palamy Pradichit slices through the silence, exposing the systemic barriers that have historically muted and marginalized Asian women in leadership. Pradichit's journey as a young Lao refugee navigating discrimination in a low-income Parisian suburb crowded with migrants cemented this perspective. In Paris, she witnessed firsthand the insidious nature of inequality. These early encounters ignited a vision within her to dismantle entrenched norms - by centering the voices of underrepresented communities. Her passion to challenge injustice took her through studying human rights law at Sorbonne University and roles at the United Nations and UPR-Asia. However, her experience revealed the limitations of top-down approaches in achieving genuine grassroots change. “I was learning a lot, but I was surrounded by people with privilege. I was sitting at headquarters, and I didn't know what it was like on the ground!” This realization sparked the creation of Manushya Foundation, envisioned as a distinctly feminist, intersectional, and decolonial human rights organization dedicated to amplifying the agency of marginalized communities in Asia. Pradichit's work challenges what she terms “white feminism” and the imposition of external agendas. Her approach in the Myanmar context prioritizes the voices of ethnic minority women. As she puts it, “How can you be a human rights activist and exclude Rohingya people?” Pradichit's sentiments reflect the important role of a decolonial lens in her work. “In the global majority work, it's very important for the people from lived experience to be the ones leading the human rights work.” She believes this isn't just a strategy; it's reclaiming the power of lived truth leading the way towards real justice.

James Lott Jr has an in depth discussion with author Mary E Roach about her latest book (available for Pre order/Out July 29th).Two women in love and in danger. Mob families at war. An explosive and enthralling contemporary reimagining of the Helen of Troy myth set against the splendor of the Grecian islands. Paris is a fixer for mob families on the Grecian islands when a powerful crime lord hires her to investigate a bombing. Insinuating herself into Zarek's circle is the chance for revenge that Paris has been waiting for since she was a child. Years ago, Zarek wiped out everyone she loved. Now it's Paris's turn. Her target? Zarek's beautiful daughter, Helen. Helen wants nothing more than to abandon the violent world in which she was raised―and worse, an arranged marriage to a man she barely knows. In Paris, Helen sees the perfect tool to help her escape. And in Helen, Paris sees a desperate woman who will be the perfect revenge. As the two work together to find the bomber, and their connection becomes increasingly intimate, Zarek's empire grows more fragile and their own bonds of loyalty and purpose are tested. When murder sends them fleeing to Troy, danger only brings Paris and Helen closer together―in love, in fury, and in the will to survive. If Zarek wants a war, Paris and Helen are ready to ignite it.

Vor 90 Jahren sind Faschismus und Tyrannei auf dem Vormarsch. In Paris wollen weltberühmte Autorinnen und Autoren die Kultur verteidigen, auf dem ersten Schriftsteller-Kongress ab dem 21.6.1935. Von Christoph Vormweg.

Die Sicherheitslage in der Ostsee hat sich seit Beginn des russischen Angriffskrieges gegen die Ukraine verschlechtert: sowohl die Nato wie auch Russland rüsten auf, immer wieder kommt es zu Zwischenfällen mit der russischen Schattenflotte in internationalen Gewässern. In der Exklave Kaliningrad hat Moskau nukleare Sprengkörper, im Baltikum sind Truppen aus ganz Europa stationiert. Nur an einem Ort mitten in der Ostsee herrscht noch Frieden, ganz ohne Waffen und Militär: auf den Ålandinseln. Die schwedisch sprachige Inselgruppe gehört zu Finnland und verfügt über eine weitreichende Selbstverwaltung. Der fast 7000 Inseln umfassende Archipel mit gerade einmal 30'000 Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner lebt als wirtschaftliche Sonderzone innerhalb der EU von und für die Seefahrt. Seit 1856 hat sich die internationale Gemeinschaft wiederholt über das Ålandmodell verständigt. In Paris wurde bereits 1856 die Demilitarisierung beschlossen, im Genfer Völkerbund 1920 die Autonomie geregelt und seit 1945 gibt es in der åländischen Hauptstadt Mariehamn ein russisches Generalkonsulat, das die Einhaltung dieser Verträge überwacht. Nun steht das «Ålandmodell» auf dem Prüfstand: Kann es in anderen Weltgegenden zur Anwendung kommen? Oder droht der Archipel zum nächsten Konfliktgebiet zwischen Russland und dem Westen zu werden? Die Reportage von den Friedensinseln.

LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY: 4/4: Ingenious: A Biography of Benjamin Franklin, Scientist by  Richard Munson  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Ingenious-Biography-Benjamin-Franklin-Scientist/dp/0393882233 Benjamin Franklin was one of the preeminent scientists of his time. Driven by curiosity, he conducted cutting-edge research on electricity, heat, ocean currents, weather patterns, chemical bonds, and plants. But today, Franklin is remembered more for his political prowess and diplomatic achievements than his scientific creativity. In this incisive and rich account of Benjamin Franklin's life and career, Richard Munson recovers this vital part of Franklin's story, reveals his modern relevance, and offers a compelling portrait of a shrewd experimenter, clever innovator, and visionary physicist whose fame opened doors to negotiate French support and funding for American independence. Munson's riveting narrative explores how science underpins Franklin's entire story―from tradesman to inventor to nation-founder―and argues that Franklin's political life cannot be understood without giving proper credit to his scientific accomplishments. 1867 IN PARIS

The assault injured six elderly individuals, aged between 67 and 88 — including a survivor of the Holocaust — with at least one victim in critical condition. In Paris, vandals defaced the Holocaust Memorial, two synagogues, and a Jewish restaurant in a coordinated act of antisemitic violence. These horrific events come just over one week after Elias Rodriguez, a radical, leftist activist, murdered two Israeli embassy staffers outside the Jewish museum in Washington DC. We have been hearing from Israelis who lived through the Intifada in Israel, as they reflect on what “Globalize the Intifada” means when it reaches our country; we hear one Israeli's perspective in today's episode. Meanwhile, just as it appeared that Israel was facing increasing international pressure, it is Hamas's position in the hostage negotiations that is weakening with time, according to U.S. officials. Late on Wednesday, the United States vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for an  “immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire” between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, the release of all the hostages and unhindered aid access across the enclave. Dorothy Shea, Acting US Ambassador to the UN cited the failure to condemn Hamas and calling for its disarmament as the reason for the veto. Nadav Eyal, senior analyst at Yedioth Achronot, joins us to discuss the implications of the antisemitic terror attack in Boulder as well as the turmoil in Gaza. CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorMARIANGELES BURGOS - Additional EditingGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer

Es ist DWIDSwoch! Kurz vorm Sommerloch gibt es nochmal reichlich Gesprächsstoff, denn in Polen gibt es einen neuen Präsidenten, der Wald und Wiese mag, obwohl er keiner Umweltpartei zuzuordnen ist. In Paris sind die Feierlichkeiten komplett ausgeartet und in den Spielberichten geht es u.a. um die unsägliche Relegation. Tim und Schlü berichten ausführlich aus Braunschweig und Havelse.

Brennende Autos, hunderte Festnahmen, geplünderte Läden. In Paris kam es nach dem Champions League Sieg von PSG zu Krawallen. Zwar wird am Montag danach über die Gewalteskapaden diskutiert, doch in Frankreich scheint es, als ob die Gewalt normal geworden wäre. In München gewinnt der Fussball Club Paris Saint-German zum ersten Mal in seiner Geschichte die UEFA-Champions-League. Die Emotionen gehen hoch, bei den Spielern und bei den mitgereisten Fans. Doch während in München mehrheitlich friedlich gefeiert wird, bricht in Frankreich Gewalt aus. Am Rande der Feiern sterben sogar zwei Menschen. Die Bilanz: Über 500 Personen wurden vorläufig festgenommen, fast 200 Menschen wurden verletzt. Am Montag danach sind die Krawalle nicht mehr das grosse Thema in Frankreich. Es scheint, als habe man sich an Gewalt bei solchen Events gewöhnt. Ist das so? Dieser Frage geht diese Folge von News Plus nach. ____________________ Habt Ihr Fragen oder Themen-Inputs?

Frankreich und Polen – Die ersten Auslandsreisen von Friedrich Merz haben ihn in wichtige deutsche Nachbarstaaten geführt. In Paris und Warschau ist die Erwartung groß, dass mit dem neuen Bundeskanzler ein frischer Wind weht, sagt der Politikwissenschaftler Albrecht von Lucke im Gespräch mit Host Stefan Niemann. Mit Merz verbindet sich die Hoffnung auf eine Erneuerung des Weimarer Dreiecks. Im Verhältnis zu den USA habe Merz jetzt die Chance, mit einem selbstbewussten Auftreten im Namen der Europäer kenntlich zu machen, dass die europäische Freundschaft eine wichtige Rolle spielt. Von Lucke spricht im Interview auch über die Rolle des neuen Außenministers Johann Wadephul, welche Vorteile es hat, wenn Kanzler und Außenminister aus derselben Partei stammen. Und es geht um die Notwendigkeit eines nationalen Sicherheitsrates. Worüber Kanzler Merz in seinem ersten Telefonat mit US-Präsident Trump und mit dem ukrainischen Präsidenten Selenskyj gesprochen hat, berichtet Astrid Corall. Sie fasst die Gedenken rund um das Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges vor 80 Jahren sowie die Lage an der Front zusammen.

Yvette's interview with Paul Jacques Keene and Lydia Williams, son and daughter of Philadelphia born artist, Paul Farwell Keene Jr. encourages investment in African American artist. Paul Farwell Keene, Jr. (1920-2009) was an artist and an American icon in the tradition of the African American community.    His art pulsates with vibrancy and with color explosion to depict his view of urban life, and his art functions as an outward expression of the genius of his inner world. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he began his art study and later studied at the Académie Julien in Paris, France. In Paris, he was nourished by the jazz music scene as well as the camaraderie of American expatriates. His work began to reflect this new urban setting, and his many paintings of street and jazz musicians have been shown around the world.    Most recently, Paul Keene's work is on exhibition at the Pompidou Museum in Paris from March to June, 2025. The exhibition, “Paris Noir,” traces 50 years of artistic expression in Paris of the work of African American, African, and Carribbean artists and explores the history of the civil rights movement in the United States, African independence and the fight for equality in France at the end of the 20th century.

‘Still more traitors, still more treason…" It is 1792 and France has been at war since April; it is not going well. In Paris, the Tuileries Palace has been stormed, and the royal family imprisoned. Meanwhile, tensions are rising between the main political factions of the Revolution, the Girondins and the Montagnard, led by the icy Maximilien Robespierre. The streets of Paris teem with armed young men - the Federes and the Sans-Culottes - responsible for the brutal slaughtering of the Swiss Guard earlier that year. They have arrested and imprisoned thousands of people. It is into this progressively febrile atmosphere of paranoia and fear that terrible news arrives: the Prussians, hungry for vengeance, have taken the fortress of Verdin. Rumours swirl of treason and betrayal from deep within Paris itself, and a new, chilling idea is raised to wash the city of counter revolutionaries once and for all: cleanse the prisons. So it is that on the 2nd of September, a group of Prisoners being escorted from one prison to another is stopped, and methodically hacked to death. The survivors face an impromptu tribunal before receiving the same treatment. Over the next few days, all prisoners across Paris are likewise judged, and many similarly damned and mutilated. A tide of bloodshed is rising, which will soon flood the streets of Paris, taking thousands of lives with it. Who will survive the massacre? Join Dominic and Tom for the next series of the French Revolution, as they pick up this epic story - one of the most resounding and complex historical events of all time - with arguably the most horrific episode of the whole revolution: the September massacres… EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/restishistory Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! _______ Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett + Aaliyah Akude Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.

“I have not only grown gray but almost blind in service to my country.” This is the story (or tale) of two cities.  In Paris, Ben Franklin, John Adams, John Jay and (briefly) Henry Laurens are negotiating the terms of American independence. They know what they want, but getting there will require outmaneuvering the greatest powers on earth and defying Congress. Will they do as they've been instructed? Or risk it all and swing for the fence?  Meanwhile, Continental Army officers in New Windsor, New York, are fed up with Congress's broken promises. Soldiers have been waiting in vain for their payments for years—will the end of the war change anything, or will their pensions be ignored too? The beleaguered men are even considering violence… could a military coup end the American experiment before the peace treaty is even signed? Help us George Washington. You're our only hope. ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette  come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.
