Tras el bombardeo contra una escuela infantil de niñas en el sur de Irán, que dejó más de un centenar de víctimas, se puso en marcha una campaña masiva de desinformación para negar los hechos. En este video desmontamos el bulo que aseguraba que las imágenes eran de Kabul en 2021, demostramos con pruebas de geolocalización, imágenes satelitales y verificaciones de medios como BBC News y The New York Times que el ataque sí ocurrió en 2026, y analizamos el papel que jugó Grok, la IA integrada en X, amplificando la mentira.

On Monday, I caught up with former Transportation Secretary, mayor, and presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg while on the campaign trail in Pennsylvania, on this episode of The Siren Podcast. Secretary Buttigieg spoke openly about Trump's new war in Iran, and the dangers that American troops in the region now face. Buttigieg himself served in the U.S. military and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2014, where he worked in a secure unit in Kabul, conducting over 90 “outside the wire” convoy trips. As Buttigieg told me, “The president hasn't even tried to explain to the American people, or to the troops, or to the Congress, real reasons why [the Iran war] couldn't be avoided.” Buttigieg continued: “Six families and counting have gotten that knock on the door. If you can ask families to go through that and service members to put their lives on the line, the very minimum the Congress should be ready to do is to sit in Washington to take a vote and put their names against an up or down vote on whether they're gonna allow this.” As we have observed, Donald Trump and his allies have released a series of garbled, awkward statements combining just about every justification under the sun as to their reasoning for beginning the war. One of the more concerning things thus far, is Donald Trump's avoidance to deliver a presidential address to the nation explaining why the country is involved in yet another Middle Eastern conflict, demonstrating a sincere disinterest in governing for the American people. Coming from the “most transparent administration in history,” there is a huge lack of transparency, whether we're discussing the Iran War or the Epstein files. Thank you all so much for watching today's episode. It's because of your support that I'm able to have these incredible conversations. I love you guys!!

Jauna realitāte - karš Tuvajos Austrumos. ASV un Izraēlas triecieni Irānā turpinās. Makrons paziņo par nepieciešamību palielināt Francijas kodolgalviņu skaitu. Pakistāna veikusu jaunu gaisa triecienu sēriju pa Afganistānas teritoriju, afgāņi atbild ar uzbrukumiem Pakistānas robežposteņiem. Aktualitātes analizē Ģeopolitikas pētījumu centra vadītājs Māris Andžāns un politologs Veiko Spolītis. Irāna rāda zobus pārspēkam Pēc tam, kad Izraēlas raķetes trāpījums 28. februārī bija laupījis dzīvību Irānas augtākajam vadonim Alī Hāmenejī, nomināli viņa funkcijas līdz jauna islāma republikas virsvadītāja iecelšanai uzņēmās Pagaidu vadības padome, kurā ietilpst Irānas prezidents Masuds Pezeškjāns, Irānas tiesu varas augstākais vadītājs Gulāmhuseins Mohsenī-Ežeī un Irānas konstitūcijas sargu padomes loceklis Alirezā Arafi. Tomēr pēdējās dienās izplatījies viedoklis, ka faktiski Irānas režīma priekšgalā jau kopš asiņainās masu protestu apspiešanas janvārī atrodas Augstākās nacionālās drošības padomes sekretārs, atvaļinātais Islāma revolūcijas sargu korpusa ģenerālis Alī Laridžāni. Tieši viņš pirmdienas vakarā, reaģējot uz Savienoto Valstu prezidenta Donalda Trampa izteikumiem par iespējamu sarunu atsākšanu, paziņoja, ka Irāna ar amerikāņiem nekādas sarunas nevedīs. Lai arī amerikāņu un izraēliešu raķetes turpina pārvērst drupu kaudzēs Irānas militāros un administratīvos objektus, un bez augstākā līdera Hāmenejī nogalināto sarakstā ir arī Islāma revolūcijas sargu korpusa komandieris, aizsardzības ministrs, bruņoto spēku ģenerālštāba priekšnieks un vēl kādi desmit augsta ranga militāristi, Teherāna, vismaz savās ārējās izpausmēs, ietur kareivīgu stāju. Irānas raķešu un aviācijas triecienu mērķi ir ne vien Izraēla un Savienoto Valstu militārie un diplomātiskie objekti reģionā, bet arī naftas un gāzes pārstrādes, transporta, arī biznesa un tūrisma infrastruktūra Apvienotajos Arābu emirātos, Saūda Arābijā, Bahreinā, Kuveitā, Katarā un Omānā, tāpat britu militārā bāze Kiprā. Aktivizējušies Irānas sabiedrotie: Libānā bāzētais grupējums „Hezbollah” sācis apšaudīt ar raķetēm Izraēlas ziemeļu rajonus, Irākas šiītu militārie grupējumi ar lidrobotiem uzbrukuši viņu valstī izvietotajām amerikāņu militārajām bāzēm, tiek ziņots, ka Jemenas hutiešu nemiernieki plānojot atsākt uzbrukumus kuģiem Adenas līcī un Sarkanajā jūrā. Pret „Hezbollah” Izraēla jau izvērsusi plaša mēroga karadarbību, kas ietver arī sauszemes operācijas. Irāna vērsusi gaisa triecienus arī pa kurdu autonomijas teritorijām Irākas ziemeļos, jo šeit bāzējas tās režīmam naidīgas kurdu nemiernieku grupas, kas apvienojušās Irānas Kurdistānas Politisko spēku koalīcijā. Kurdu minoritāte Irānas ziemeļos ir tā, kas pirmām kārtām varētu izvērst bruņotu cīņu pret Teherānas varu. Kā jau tika sagaidīts, jūras transporta pārtraukšana Hormuzā likusi pakāpties naftas un sašķidrinātās gāzes cenām globālajā tirgū, tomēr par kādu paniku šai ziņā runāt nenākas. Pirms karadarbības sākuma tirgos valdīja šo resursu pārprodukcija, un lielākie patērētāji kā ASV un Ķīna ir izveidojuši rezerves, kas šobrīd amortizē situāciju. Pakistānai savs „pārmācīšanas karš” Nu jau labu laiku spriedzi Pakistānas valdības un Afganistānā valdošā talibu režīma starpā rada teroristu grupas, kuras rod patvērumu Afganistānā, rīkojot uzbrukumus Pakistānas teritorijā. Lielākā no šīm grupām ir džihāda kaujinieku struktūra Pakistānas Talibans, kas gan nav organizatoriski vienota ar saviem vārdabrāļiem Kabulā, tomēr idejiski un vēsturiski gan. Jau pagājušā gada oktobrī Pakistāna veica gaisa triecienus pa teroristu objektiem Afganistānā, tai skaitā galvaspilsētā Kabulā, kam sekoja vairākas dienas ilgas sadursmes uz robežas. Tad viss beidzās ar trauslu pamieru, taču šī gada februārī Pakistāna piedzīvoja vairākus terora aktus gan Pakistānas Talibana, gan divu citu teroristu struktūru – Islāma valsts un beludžu nacionālistu organizācijas Beludžistānas Atbrīvošanas armija – izpildījumā. Uzbrukumos dzīvību zaudēja vairāk nekā piecdesmit cilvēku, gan militārpersonas, gan civiliedzīvotāji. 21. februārī Pakistāna īstenoja savus jau iepriekš izteiktos brīdinājumus un veica jaunu gaisa triecienu sēriju pa Afganistānas teritoriju. Oficiālā Islamabada apgalvoja, ka mērķēts tikai pa teroristu bāzēm, taču afgāņu puse un arī Apvienoto Nāciju misija vēstīja par upuriem arī starp mierīgajiem iedzīvotājiem, tai skaitā bērniem. Gluži tāpat kā iepriekšējo reizi sekoja afgāņu uzbrukumi Pakistānas robežposteņiem, pēc kam pakistāniešu gaisa un arī sauszemes spēku triecieni tika vērsti nu jau pret Afganistānas bruņoto spēku objektiem – munīcijas noliktavām, komandpunktiem, kazarmām – gan pierobežas provincēs, gan galvaspilsētā Kabulā un otrā lielākajā valsts pilsētā Kandahārā. Talibiem netrūkst kaujas spara un fanātisma, viņu spēki rūdījušies divdesmit gadus ilgā un galu galā panākumiem vaiņagotā cīņā pret amerikāņu un to sabiedroto okupācijas spēkiem. Šī pieredze ietver labas kaujas lidrobotu izmantošanas prasmes, ko jau nācies sajust uz savas ādas pierobežā dislocētajiem pakistāniešu spēkiem. Pakistānas pusē ir nospiedošs militāri tehniskais pārsvars. Marta sākumā pakistāniešu gaisa spēki vairākkārt bombardējuši nozīmīgo Bagramas aviobāzi, kuru Afganistānai savulaik uzbūvēja Padomju Savienība; neliela Afganistānas pierobežas teritorija nonākusi pakistāniešu spēku rokās. Kā tiek atzīmēts, konflikta attīstību veicina arī vispārējais starptautiskais fons, kad pasaules uzmanība koncentrēta Persijas līča rajonā un neviens īsti nav gatavs veltīt uzmanību šim karam Āzijas vidienē. Kodollietussargs „Made in France” Prezidenta Emanuela Makrona uzstāšanās šo pirmdien, 2. martā, Īllongas kodolzemūdeņu bāzē Bretaņā, Francijas rietumu piekrastē, tiek uzlūkota kā lūzuma punkts franču kodolpolitikā. Kopš aukstā kara baigām valsts atomieroču potenciāla palielināšana faktiski bijusi tabu tēma, bet pirmdien šis tabu tika lauzts. Kā paziņoja Makrons, šobrīd, kad Krievija izvērsusi klaju militāro agresiju, nozīmīgi augušas Ķīnas ģeopolitiskās ambīcijas, bet Savienoto Valstu aizsardzības prioritātes strauji mainījušās, Francijas kodolgalviņu skaita palielināšana ir nepieciešamība. Pie tam, kā uzsvēra Francijas vadītājs, franču kodolatturēšanas programma kļūst par visas Eiropas kopēju rūpi. Viņš uzskaitīja sabiedrotos, ar kuriem Francijai šai ziņā jau ir konkrēti sadarbības plāni: Vācija, Polija, Grieķija, Nīderlande, Beļģija, Dānija un Zviedrija. Nav grūti pamanīt, ka ģeogrāfiski šī valstu grupa koncentrējas Baltijas jūras un Ziemeļjūras baseinā. Visciešākā sadarbība plānota ar Vāciju, un tajā pašā 2. martā tika publiskota prezidenta Makrona un kanclera Merca kopīga deklarācija par franču–vācu kodolvadības darba grupas izveidi. Šo franču „kodollietussarga” izplešanu virs pārējo apvienotās Eiropas partneru galvām Francijas prezidents nodēvēja par „izvērsto atturēšanu”. Prezidents gan nepiemirsa norādīt, ka šī iniciatīva nekādi neesot uzlūkojama kā alternatīva NATO kodolatturēšanas spējām, bet gan kā to papildinājums. Kaut ekspertu vērtējuma Makrona uzstāšanās bija veiksmīga, labi līdzsvarojot Francijas nacionālo un Eiropas kopējo interešu motīvus, viņš, protams, saņēma paredzamu kritiku no pašmāju politiķiem, tai skaitā Nacionālās kustības līdera Žordāna Bardellas, kuru uzskata par visai reālu Makrona pēcteci prezidenta krēslā. Tas ir vēl viens faktors, kas liek prezidētam steigties, lai šī iniciatīva būt jau gana tālu attīstīta un nākamais Elizejas pils saimnieks nevarētu to viegli likvidēt. „Nākamais pusgadsimts būs kodolieroču laikmets, un Francija tajā spēlēs savu pilnvērtīgo lomu, turpinot vairot savus spēkus,” pirmdienas runas noslēgumā pauda Emanuels Makrons. Šobrīd Francijai ir apmēram trīssimt kodolgalviņas, ar kurām aprīkotas ballistiskās raķetes uz četrām „Triomphant” tipa atomzemūdenēm, kā arī spārnotās raķetes uz daudzfunkcionālajiem iznīcinātājiem „Rafale”.   Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš.

Pakistan heeft meerdere plaatsen in Afghanistan gebombardeerd, waaronder de steden Kabul en Kandahar. Het zou een reactie zijn op aanvallen door Afghanistan op Pakistaanse grenssoldaten. De Pakistaanse minister van Defensie zegt dat zijn land nu in een "open oorlog" is met het buurland. Wat hoopt het land hiermee te bereiken? Daarover Suzanna Koster, journalist en expert op het gebied van Pakistan. (09:12) Waar blijft de discussie over Iran-oorlog? Wereldwijd wordt ernstig rekening gehouden met een Amerikaanse aanval tegen Iran. Maar over de vraag hoe legitiem zo'n aanval is, gaat het in politiek en media niet. Dit in tegenstelling tot bijvoorbeeld de aanloop naar de Irak-oorlog in 2003. De regering-Trump lijkt niet veel moeite te doen de noodzaak van zo'n aanval uit te leggen, terwijl analisten vrezen dat een oorlog met Iran nog riskanter is dan die tegen Irak destijds, waarvan de gevolgen immens ontwrichtend waren. Waarom is er geen publiek debat hierover? Daarover te gast Europarlementariër Marc Botenga en Belgisch parlementslid Darya Safai.  Presentatie: Laila Frank.

VOV1 -Trước những diễn biến xấu trong quan hệ giữa hai nước Pakistan và Afghanistan trong vòng 24 giờ qua, với các cuộc tấn công qua biên giới và không kích vào lãnh thổ của nhau, cộng đồng quốc tế hôm nay (27/2) đã có những phản ứng, kêu gọi hai bên kiềm chế, giải quyết xung đột thông qua đối thoạiGiao tranh bắt đầu từ tối 26/2 sau khi binh lính của lực lượng Taliban đang nắm quyền tại Afghanistan tấn công dọc theo Đường Durand, đường biên giới chung với Pakistan. Taliban gọi đây là động thái trả đũa các cuộc không kích những ngày qua của quân đội Pakistan. Đến rạng sáng 27/2, Không quân Pakistan phát động Chiến dịch Ghazab lil-Haq không kích đáp trả vào một số khu vực tại các tỉnh Kabul, Kandahar và Paktia của Afghanistan và tuyên bố tiêu diệt 133 binh sỹ của lực lượng Taliban, làm hơn 200 người khác bị thương. Các nguồn tin an ninh cho biết Pakistan đã phá hủy một số cứ điểm quân sự quan trọng của Taliban tại Afghanistan.

El posible regreso del rey emérito Juan Carlos I a España toma fuerza, condicionado por la Casa Real a que restablezca su residencia fiscal para proteger la imagen de la Corona. El monarca, de 88 años, reside en Abu Dabi por escándalos financieros, aunque no tiene causas abiertas.

Pakistan carried out several airstrikes on targets in Kabul and eastern Afghanistan, in Nangarhar and Paktika provinces, resulting in the deaths of scores of civilians. The Taliban-led Afghan government condemned the attacks as a “blatant violation of Afghanistan's territorial integrity” and a violation of international law, stating that they had hit civilian homes, a religious school, and other non-military structures, killing scores of people (including women and children) and leaving others missing under the rubble. Afghan officials promised an “appropriate and measured response” at the appropriate time.

The US is busy saber rattling all over the globe. On today's show guest host Norm Stockwell checks in with two anti-war activists, Medea Benjamin and Ann Wright, about what they're hearing on the ground in Venezuela and Cuba.  Wright says that activists should be tired right now from the burnout of protesting in the streets and visiting their congressional representative's offices. She says that it's important to travel to places like Cuba and Venezuela to see what the US government is actually perpetuating and how Venezuelans are saying “we hope you can control your own government and how it acts internationally.” She also describes how Venezuelans are responding to the US kidnapping of their head of state and the purposeful bombing of their communications and energy facilities.  They also discuss the situation in Cuba and Benjamin's latest article about US sanctions. Benjamin has covered the US's relationship with Iran and says that you don't have to like the Iranian government to oppose a US invasion. Polls show there's little support for such an action, but Israel continues to push for war with Iran. She describes how everyday people become the victims of US warfare. Note: This pledge drive interview was edited to remove parts of the show dedicated to station fundraising. We thank our listeners for their generous support. Medea Benjamin is a cofounder of both CODEPINK and the international human rights organization Global Exchange. She is the author of 11 books, including Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote Control, Kingdom of the Unjust: Behind the U.S.-Saudi Connection, Inside Iran: The Real History and Politics of the Islamic Republic of Iran and War in Ukraine: Making Sense of a Senseless Conflict, coauthored with Nicolas J.S. Davies. Her most recent book, coauthored with David Swanson, is NATO: What You Need to Know. Benjamin has been an advocate for social justice for more than 30 years. Ann Wright is a US Army/Army Reserves veteran, retired Colonel, and former US diplomat who resigned in March 2003 in opposition to the war on Iraq. She served in Nicaragua, Grenada, Somalia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Sierra Leone, Micronesia and Mongolia. In December 2001 she was on the small team that reopened the US Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. She is the co-author of the book Dissent: Voices of Conscience.

Kabul is the administrative and political centre of Afghanistan, located at 1,791 metres above sea level in a long, narrow valley between the Hindu Kush Mountains and extending along the Kabul River. Kabul's main products include fruits and nuts, Afghan carpets, leather and sheepskin products, local clothing and furniture, and copies of ancient products. The 1978–2001 wars disrupted this industry and caused significant damage to the economy. All ethnic groups and nationalities live together in Kabul. Kabul's climate is mild and mountainous.

What does diplomacy look like in an era defined by conflict, mistrust and geopolitical rivalry? In this episode of Our World, Connected, host Christine Wilson speaks with Laurie Bristow, former UK Ambassador to Afghanistan, Russia and Azerbaijan, about the evolving role of diplomacy in a more volatile and transactional world. Drawing on more than three decades at the heart of British foreign and national security policy, Laurie reflects on the end of the Cold War, the invasion of Iraq, the fall of Kabul in 2021, and what these moments reveal about power, perception and policy. From ‘cognitive warfare' and disinformation, to the limits of military intervention, he examines how misunderstanding, resentment and short-term thinking can shape global events, exploring how diplomacy must adapt in response.We also hear a personal perspective from Noor Al-Naser, Iraqi peacebuilding specialist and Scottish Peace Platform Manager at Beyond Borders. Noor shares how a bombing in Baghdad during her teenage years led her into diplomacy and UN work in mine action, counter-terrorism and prevention of violent extremism. Her experience bridges frontline humanitarian efforts and grassroots peacebuilding, highlighting the importance of trust, cultural understanding and sustained local engagement in building more stable societies.This episode asks what responsible international engagement means today, and whether diplomacy still has the patience and imagination to shape a more peaceful future.Listen to Our World, Connected, the award-winning podcast from the British Council, exploring culture, communication, and the power of collaboration in a changing world.

Jon Lee Anderson is considered one of the great foreign correspondents of our time. Since the late 1980s, his on-the-ground reporting in Afghanistan has provided invaluable insight into decades of conflict and political upheaval. For The New Yorker magazine he covered the US-backed Mujahideen's insurrection in Kabul, was an eyewitness to the new war launched by the US against the Taliban and their Al-Qaeda allies within days of the 9/11 attacks, and reported on the supposed quick and easy victory of America while Osama bin Laden was still in hiding.  On February 10, Anderson joins us in person to reflect on his decades-long career, throughout which he has traced the missteps of the US-led war in Afghanistan, now widely regarded as one of the greatest foreign policy failures of the modern era.  Join us live at the Kiln Theatre and ask your questions in the audience  Q&A. ---If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

This week we honor a fallen Marine, Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz, who was KIA during the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, at Abbey Gate in Kabul, on Aug 26, 2021. Our guest is Jared's father, Mark Schmitz, who founded the non-profit organization “The Freedom 13”. He shared his mission and details about the veteran retreat and recreation center being built on a beautiful 171-acre property in the heart of Missouri. We begin with how Jared was born to be a Marine and how the way he lived his life inspired everyone who knew him. Schmitz shared how Jared's impact was felt around the world. In a story that reveals the highest level of heroism, he recalled how at a large event he had a chance encounter with an Afghan refugee, who spoke of being rescued from Kabul by a young Maine with “Schmitz” on his uniform' name badge. During our conversation we talked about the disastrous US withdrawal from Afghanistan and its impact on the veteran community. Schmitz described how his son and the others who served so bravely that day, inspired him to create a place where veterans, first responders and their families will always have a place to find comfort and healing. We discussed the scenic property in Bourbon, MO, which will feature 13 buildings where vets and their families can stay. Plus a ton of outdoor recreation like; fishing, shooting, pickleball and even all terrain golf carts to explore more of the great outdoors. Schmitz also shared his vision to eventually build more centers in all 50 states.

Seit August 2021 regieren in Afghanistan die radikal-islamistischen Taliban, schränken die Rechte von Frauen extrem ein und gehen gegen Regimekritiker vor. Die Bundesregierung erkennt sie als Regierung nicht an, aber schiebt unter anderem verurteilte Straftäter aus Deutschland nach Afghanistan ab. Dahinter steckt ein offenbar brisanter Deal zwischen Vertretern des Bundesinnenministeriums und ranghohen Taliban, das erzählt in dieser 11KM-Folge Peter Hornung, der als ARD-Korrespondent seit Jahren über Afghanistan berichtet und oft vor Ort recherchiert hat. Peter hat zusammen mit BR-Journalistin Christine Auerbach recherchiert – die gesamte Recherche hört ihr auch in der neuesten Staffel des BR-Podcasts “Die Entscheidung”, unserem Podcast-Tipp: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/die-entscheidung-politik-die-uns-bis-heute-praegt/urn:ard:show:e7bcaf8eea1771e3/ In dieser früheren 11KM-Folge geht es um die schwierige Situation der Frauen in Afghanistan „Überwacht und eingesperrt: Was vom Leben in Afghanistan bleibt”: https://1.ard.de/11KM_Afghanistan Diese und viele weitere Folgen von 11KM findet ihr überall da, wo es Podcasts gibt, auch hier in der ARD Audiothek: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/11km-der-tagesschau-podcast/12200383/ An dieser Folge waren beteiligt: Folgenautor: Marc Hoffmann Mitarbeit: Claudia Schaffer, Nicole Dienemann Host: David Krause Produktion: Ruth-Maria Ostermann, Christiane Gerheuser-Kamp, Christine Dreyer und Simon Laumayer Planung: Nicole Dienemann und Hardy Funk Distribution: Kerstin Ammermann Redaktionsleitung: Yasemin Yüksel und Fumiko Lipp 11KM: der tagesschau-Podcast wird produziert von BR24 und NDR Info.

Send me a text message:A cargo jet that doesn't dogfight, doesn't sneak, and rarely breaks the speed of sound reshaped modern power by doing one thing better than anyone else: showing up with the right cargo, at the right place, right on time. We dig into the C‑17 Globemaster's improbable rise from near‑cancellation to cornerstone of air mobility, and why professionals talk logistics when the stakes are highest.We take you from the Cold War gap that demanded a new kind of airlifter to the audacious requirements that forced a revolution in design. Externally blown flaps, a full HUD, and a protective fly‑by‑wire system let a 585,000‑pound jet land on 3,500‑foot strips and turn quickly with minimal support. Inside, the cargo bay becomes a shape‑shifter—moving an M1 Abrams, 18 pallets, or over a hundred paratroopers with minutes of reconfiguration—collapsing the distance between plan and presence. Along the way, we unpack how Boeing's merger stabilized production, turning early turbulence into a platform nine nations rely on.From Iraq and Afghanistan to the 2004 tsunami and the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the C‑17 proved that logistics is strategy. We revisit REACH 871's extraordinary Kabul evacuation of 823 civilians, a moment that showed both the aircraft's capacity and the crew's courage. Then we go low and quiet with CDS airdrops and special operations missions, and far and cold to blue ice runways in Antarctica. Viewer stories round it out with firsthand details: green‑lit cabins, short‑field landings that feel like magic, and the odd wrong‑airport arrival that still ends safely.

Alex breaks down Reign of Terror by Spencer Ackerman, showing how the post-9/11 “War on Terror” built a permanent national security state with mass surveillance, warrantless wiretaps, secret kill lists, and preemptive detention. Both parties enabled this system: under Bush, the PATRIOT Act, Guantánamo, and aggressive counterterrorism policies expanded state power; Obama preserved drone strikes, surveillance programs, and the bureaucratic machinery of indefinite detention. This infrastructure allowed Trump to militarize immigration enforcement, empower ICE in Minneapolis and nationwide raids, separate families at the border, and use crisis rhetoric and fear-based governance to treat migrants as existential threats while consolidating political power

In Episode 139 of the Protector Culture Podcast, we break down what it really means to enter a new year with clarity, discipline, and long-term vision. No "new year, new me" hype. No emotional resolutions. Just commitment to the same standards, the same work, and the same plan that builds real capability over time.   Who's Jimmy Graham?

President Trump has repealed a key government scientific finding that carbon emissions endanger human health. The so-called “endangerment finding” of 2009 was the legal bedrock of efforts to rein in emissions and critics fear it is a major setback in the fight against climate change.Also on the programme: Sir Jim Ratcliffe has apologised for "offending some people" with his language after saying the UK had been "colonised by immigrants". We discuss the importance of the language we use in politics. And as the Berlin Film Festival opens, we speak to the director of one of the entrants, a rom-com set in Kabul.

Heute Abend eröffnet das Filmfestival „Berlinale“. Den Auftakt macht „No Good Men“, ein Spielfilm der Regisseurin Shahrbanoo Sadat, die auch gleichzeitig die Hauptrolle spielt. Rüdiger Suchsland hat ihn schon vorab gesehen und ist beeindruckt, wie der Filmdrehort Deutschland täuschend echt wie Kabul wirkt, wo der Film spielt. Die Berlinale habe in den letzten Jahren an Status verloren, sagt Suchsland. Viele Filme seien schon von anderen Filmfestivals „durchgereicht“. Das habe auch mit den bekannten Strukturproblemen der Berlinale zu tun.

In this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with James Hassan, a former Army officer, attorney, and author, to discuss his journey from military service to writing—and what inspired his book on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Hassan reflects on the failures of leadership exposed by the Afghanistan exit, the cultural narratives shaping views on marriage and parenthood, and where he believes society is headed next. The conversation also dives into the influence of social media on mental health, productivity, and family life, with practical advice on how stepping back from the digital world can lead to a stronger, more meaningful life.
