Podcast appearances and mentions of kaja kallas

El declive es irreversible: Trump pierde el control de la guerra y busca una tregua desesperadaEl orden internacional está cambiando hacia un sistema multipolar y Occidente muestra sus debilidades. Olga Caballero García, experta en relaciones internacionales, analiza la actual estrategia de Donald Trump, atrapado en las tensiones de Oriente Medio con Irán y condicionado por Israel. Ante la imposibilidad de sostener el pulso, el gigante norteamericano busca cambiar el relato geopolítico abriendo un nuevo foco en Cuba.Caballero García deseca el declive hegemónico de Estados Unidos y su necesidad de negociar con potencias como China y Rusia. Mientras tanto, la Unión Europea, liderada en su diplomacia por figuras como Kaja Kallas, se muestra "desaparecida", carente de autonomía estratégica y cometiendo errores de bulto al confrontar a Pekín, mientras los ciudadanos europeos pagan las consecuencias económicas de estas decisiones.#guerra #eeuu #trump #iran #military #escalada #cuba #orientemedio #china #rusia #entrevista #geopolitica #negociostv Si quieres entrar en la Academia de Negocios TV, este es el enlace:   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwd8Byi93KbnsYmCcKLExvQ/join Síguenos en directo ➡️ https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pSuscríbete a nuestro canal: https://bit.ly/3jsMzp2Suscríbete a nuestro segundo canal, másnegocios: https://n9.cl/4dca4Visita Negocios TV https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pMás vídeos de Negocios TV: https://youtube.com/@NegociosTVSíguenos en Telegram: https://t.me/negociostvSíguenos en Instagram: https://bit.ly/3oytWndTwitter: https://bit.ly/3jz6LptFacebook: https://bit.ly/3e3kIuy

DE CASTRO: TRUMP PIERDE EL CONTROL: La verdad tras la caza de EEUU a Raúl CastroEl nuevo orden mundial ya está aquí y la vieja Europa se queda atrás. Juan Antonio de Castro, exfuncionario de Naciones Unidas (ONU), analiza las implicaciones del último encuentro entre Vladimir Putin y Xi Jinping, consolidando a China como la "fuerza económica tranquila" y el verdadero hegemón del mundo multipolar junto a Rusia y Estados Unidos. De Castro lanza una dura crítica a la pérdida de soberanía de la Unión Europea y la inacción de líderes como Kaja Kallas ante la amenaza geopolítica actual. Además, aborda la polémica orden judicial de EE.UU. contra Raúl Castro en Cuba, cuestionando la "catadura moral" de la administración de Donald Trump y denunciando el colapso absoluto de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas y el derecho internacional.#cuba #eeuu #putin #trump #onu #china #economia #defensa #kallas #ue #noticias #breakingnews #geopolitica #negociostv #entrevista Si quieres entrar en la Academia de Negocios TV, este es el enlace:   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwd8Byi93KbnsYmCcKLExvQ/join Síguenos en directo ➡️ https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pSuscríbete a nuestro canal: https://bit.ly/3jsMzp2Suscríbete a nuestro segundo canal, másnegocios: https://n9.cl/4dca4Visita Negocios TV https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pMás vídeos de Negocios TV: https://youtube.com/@NegociosTVSíguenos en Telegram: https://t.me/negociostvSíguenos en Instagram: https://bit.ly/3oytWndTwitter: https://bit.ly/3jz6LptFacebook: https://bit.ly/3e3kIuy

Die EU arbeitet an einer klareren Ausgestaltung der Beistandsklausel nach Artikel 42 Absatz 7 EUV. Hintergrund sind die Kriege in der Ukraine und im Nahen Osten sowie Sorgen vor hybriden Angriffen. Kaja Kallas räumte Schwächen in Krisenabläufen ein.

Les journalistes et experts de RFI répondent également à vos questions sur les conséquences de la guerre en Iran sur les baleines en Afrique du Sud, le rejet du Sénat en France d'une proposition de loi sur l'aide à mourir et la déportation forcée d'enfants ukrainiens vers la Russie.  Mali : l'alliance entre le Jnim et le FLA peut-elle tenir ?  Les attaques coordonnées du 25 avril menées par les jihadistes du Groupe de soutien à l'islam et aux musulmans (Jnim), affilié à al-Qaïda, et les rebelles touaregs du Front de libération de l'Azawad (FLA) ont fragilisé la situation sécuritaire au Mali. Cette alliance a permis au FLA de s'emparer à nouveau de la ville de Kidal, au nord du Mali, et aux Jnim d'imposer un blocus autour de la capitale, Bamako. Alors que les jihadistes cherchent à instaurer un ordre islamique sur l'ensemble du territoire et que les indépendantistes revendiquent l'autodétermination du peuple de l'Azawad, comment expliquer un tel rapprochement ? Sachant que leurs revendications sont différentes, cette alliance peut-elle perdurer ? Avec David Baché, journaliste au service Afrique de RFI. Détroit d'Ormuz : pourquoi le blocus menace les baleines en Afrique du Sud ? Au large de l'Afrique du Sud, à des milliers de kilomètres du détroit d'Ormuz, théâtre des tensions entre l'Iran et la coalition israélo-américaine, les baleines sont aussi victimes de la guerre. Selon un rapport scientifique présenté devant la Commission baleinière internationale (IWC), les risques de collision entre navires et cétacés « ont considérablement augmenté » depuis le début du conflit au Moyen-Orient. Comment la guerre peut-elle avoir un impact sur l'écosystème marin au cap de Bonne-Espérance ? Des solutions sont-elles envisagées pour limiter le phénomène ?  Avec Juliette Pietraszewski, journaliste au service environnement-climat de RFI. France : pourquoi le Sénat rejette encore la loi sur l'aide à mourir ?   En France, la proposition de loi pour créer un « droit à l'aide à mouri » subit un nouveau revers. Dans la nuit du lundi 11 au mardi 12 mai, à 151 voix contre 118, les sénateurs ont rejeté la « clé de voûte » du texte : l'article 2 qui évoquait le principe d'un geste létal en fin de vie. Après le rejet de cet article, le Sénat a préféré supprimer tous les autres articles un par un. C'est la deuxième fois que la chambre haute du Parlement français s'oppose à ce texte. Pourquoi cette proposition de loi pose-t-elle problème aux sénateurs alors qu'elle a été adoptée par deux fois à l'Assemblée nationale ? Désormais, que peut-il se passer ? Avec Charlotte Urien-Tomaka, journaliste au service politique de RFI.  Guerre en Ukraine : quel sort pour les enfants ukrainiens déportés en Russie ?   « De toutes les horreurs infligées par la guerre en Russie, la déportation et le transfert forcé d'enfants ukrainiens constituent l'un des pires crimes », a déclaré la cheffe de la diplomatie européenne, Kaja Kallas, après une réunion des ministres des Affaires étrangères européens. À l'issue de ces discussions, les 27 ont adopté des sanctions contre seize personnes et sept entités russes accusées d'avoir enlevé des milliers d'enfants ukrainiens pour les envoyer en Russie. Comment le transfert forcé de ces enfants est-il organisé ? Quelles sont leurs conditions de vie sur le territoire russe ? Avec Ulrich Bounat, analyste géopolitique, chercheur associé chez Euro Créative.

Het is 'verbijsterend' hoe Europa deze week heeft gereageerd op de Russische president Poetin, vindt oud-topdiplomaat Ron Keller. Poetin stelde voor om te onderhandelen met Europa, onder leiding van voormalig bondskanselier Gerhard Schröder. Die laatste suggestie wees EU-buitenlandchef Kaja Kallas resoluut van tafel, maar Europa heeft meer tijd nodig om te bepalen of en waarover we met Poetin zouden willen praten. 'Beschamend', noemt Ron Keller dat. Hij is deze hele uitzending te gast. Luister ook | 'De kwetsbaarheid van Europa op defensie is zo enorm, we hebben Amerika keihard nodig' Volgens Keller had Europa allang de draaiboeken klaar moeten hebben om te bepalen hoe je in welk scenario op Poetin reageert. 'We hebben ons huiswerk niet gedaan', zegt Keller, die in het verleden onder meer ambassadeur was in Rusland, Oekraïne, China en Turkije. Dat Poetin nu met deze zet komt is volgens Keller tactisch erg slim, vooral nu het met Rusland op het slagveld steeds slechter gaat en er ook in Rusland zelf haarscheurtjes zichtbaar worden. Lees ook | Trump hoeft in China niet te rekenen op hulp met Iran: ‘Moeten de Amerikanen zelf maar oplossen’ Iran 'comfortabel' aan het onderhandelen Uiteraard praat Bernard Hammelburg met Ron Keller ook over de situatie in het Midden-Oosten. Volgens Keller heeft Iran niet zoveel reden om tot een deal met Amerika te komen. Ze zitten redelijk comfortabel aan tafel. De New York Times onthulde dat Iran nog dertig van de driëendertig raketlanceerinstallaties operationeel heeft. Dat Trump de nucleaire deal met Iran in 2018 heeft opgezegd begrijpt Keller wel. 'Trump heeft de stekker eruit getrokken, maar Iran heeft de deal opgeblazen. Ze hebben zich er nooit aan gehouden.' Dat wil niet zeggen dat je nu tot een betere deal kunt komen. 'De wereld was toen veel meer één dan nu.' Keller verwijst ook naar het feit dat die onderhandelingen destijds meer dan twee jaar hebben geduurd. Tot slot bespreken Bernard Hammelburg en Ron Keller de situatie tussen Israël en Libanon en hoe de Verenigde Naties in al deze conflicten geen enkele rol weet te vervullen in het oplossen van die oorlogen. Over de makers Bernard Hammelburg is buitenlandcommentator en columnist voor BNR Nieuwsradio en het FD, en presentator van BNR De Wereld. Als oorlogsverslaggever was hij o.a. ooggetuige van de Culturele Revolutie in China, de revolutie in Iran en de oorlogen in Vietnam, het Midden-Oosten en Afghanistan. Hij was twintig jaar correspondent in de VS. Hij verdeelt zijn tijd tussen zijn woonplaatsen Amsterdam en New York.

Bà thông báo rằng các Bộ trưởng đã thảo luận về các biện pháp tăng cường chiến dịch hải quân châu Âu để bảo vệ các tàu thương mại, khẳng định ý định của EU trong việc tận dụng kinh nghiệm của mình để hỗ trợ đảm bảo tự do hàng hải và ngăn chặn leo thang hơn nữa các mối đe dọa nền kinh tế toàn cầu. Bà nhấn mạnh rằng bảo vệ các tuyến đường thủy không chỉ là vấn đề khu vực mà còn là trách nhiệm quốc tế mà EU đặt lên hàng đầu trong các ưu tiên của mình trong hợp tác chiến lược với các quốc gia trong khu vực.Về vấn đề Syria, bà tiết lộ rằng các Bộ trưởng đã nhất trí khôi phục thỏa thuận hợp tác với Damascus như một tín hiệu cho việc nối lại đối thoại, đồng thời gắn liền bất kỳ sự hỗ trợ tái thiết nào với tiến bộ cụ thể và thực chất trong quá trình chuyển đổi.Cuộc họp của các nhà lãnh đạo châu Âu phản ánh mong muốn của khối đóng vai trò tích cực hơn trong các vấn đề Trung Đông thông qua cánh cửa hợp tác vùng Vịnh, đối thoại chính trị vẫn là con đường ưu tiên của EU để giải quyết vấn đề của khu vực Trung Đông, nhằm tạo ra sự cân bằng, vừa bảo vệ lợi ích của châu Âu vừa đảm bảo sự ổn định quốc tế trong một giai đoạn đầy biến động./.Hải Đăng - VOV Praha/TT SÉCẢnh minh họa

De EU-ministers van Buitenlandse Zaken bereiden een besluit voor over een mogelijke vredesrol in de oorlog in Oekraïne. Ze willen eind deze maand vastleggen waarover met Rusland kan worden gesproken en welke ‘rode lijnen’ gelden, zoals het niet accepteren van territoriale concessies door Oekraïne. Volgens EU-buitenlandcommissaris Kaja Kallas moet Europa zelf de onderhandelaar kiezen en blijft de toekomst van Oekraïne in Oekraïense handen. In het Midden-Oosten blijken de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten volgens bronnen van The Wall Street Journal in het geheim aanvallen te hebben uitgevoerd op doelen in Iran, waaronder een olieraffinaderij. Tegelijkertijd verslechtert de economische situatie in Iran verder door hoge inflatie, een maritieme blokkade en een langdurige afsluiting van het internationale internetverkeer. Midden-Oosten-correspondent Tara Kenkhuis schetst hoe gewone Iraniërs en ondernemers de prijs betalen, terwijl de Revolutionaire Garde grotendeels buiten schot blijft. In het Verenigd Koninkrijk groeit de druk op premier Keir Starmer na zwaar verlies bij de regionale verkiezingen, waarbij Labour zo’n 1.500 raadszetels kwijtraakte en Reform UK van Nigel Farage de grote winnaar werd. Tientallen Labour-parlementariërs en de minister van Binnenlandse Zaken Shabana Mahmood vragen om een tijdpad voor zijn vertrek, met op de achtergrond de mogelijke komst van Andy Burnham als nieuwe partijleider. Intussen kijken beleggers naar Amerikaanse inflatiecijfers en naar hinder rond Amsterdam door de Zuidasdok-werkzaamheden, die zowel trein- als wegverkeer richting station Amsterdam Zuid en Schiphol raken.

La Cisjordanie connaît une escalade continue, marquée par des assassinats ciblés, des arrestations et des attaques contre des Palestiniens et leurs biens, dans l'indifférence politique et diplomatique. Début mai, au moins 1 069 Palestiniens y ont été tués par des soldats ou des colons israéliens depuis le début de la guerre de Gaza. L'Union européenne est parvenue ce lundi 11 mai à se mettre d'accord pour sanctionner des colons extrémistes israéliens coupables de violences contre les Palestiniens en Cisjordanie, une mesure longtemps bloquée par le veto de la Hongrie. Entretien avec Yoav Shemer-Kunz, en charge de plaidoyer international au sein de B'Tselem – le centre israélien d'information sur les droits humains en territoires occupés. RFI : Selon un décompte réalisé par l'ONG israélienne Breaking the Silence, 378 attaques de violences perpétrées par des colons israéliens en Cisjordanie occupée ont eu lieu en 40 jours, soit près de dix au quotidien. On a l'impression que les limites sont sans cesse repoussées. Yoav Shemer-Kunz : Tout à fait. Les violences sont effectivement sans cesse repoussées. Les colons israéliens arrivent maintenant aussi dans la zone A. La Cisjordanie est coupée, depuis les accords d'Oslo, en trois zones. Désormais, les attaques ont même lieu dans la zone A qui est normalement sous sécurité palestinienne. Mais il ne s'agit pas uniquement de colons israéliens. Et ces colons n'agissent pas tout seuls, ils sont protégés par l'armée israélienne. Souvent d'ailleurs, ces attaques sont combinées, civils et soldats ensemble. Ces colons sont protégés par la police israélienne, et sont actifs dans une impunité la plus totale possible. Ces colons sont soutenus par le gouvernement israélien. Vous avez raison de le rappeler, ces attaques se concentrent surtout dans la zone C, sous contrôle militaire israélien. Mais se répandent de plus en plus en zone B et en zone A, censée être sous le contrôle total de l'Autorité palestinienne. Les zones sont de plus en plus brouillées. Les zones sont de plus en plus brouillées. Les attaques ont commencé dans les zones rurales, donc la zone C, et notamment la vallée du Jourdain. Désormais, les attaques commencent à monter dans les montagnes et à arriver dans les villes palestiniennes, plus près des grandes villes et des grandes agglomérations palestiniennes. Il s'agit d'un processus de purification ethnique. Nous avons déjà plus de 59 communautés qui sont complètement effacées de la carte, des communautés entières palestiniennes qui ont dû quitter leurs territoires, quitter leur terrain. Cela, c'est ce qui concerne les communautés rurales. Les attaques vont de plus en plus vers les zones semi-urbaines, et tout cela avec la protection de l'État israélien. Vous portez la voix de l'organisation de défense des droits humains B'Tselem. Quelques voix s'élèvent en Israël. Dans un édito le journal Haaretz s'indigne : « Imaginez si des Palestiniens avaient fait la même chose à un Israélien ? » Je vous pose la question à vous, que pourrait-il se passer dans ce cas ? Les colons agissent dans un système général d'apartheid. Nous ne sommes pas sous les mêmes droits. Les Palestiniens qui sont en Cisjordanie sont sous occupation militaire. S'ils agissent, s'ils font quelque chose considérée comme illégale, l'armée israélienne les arrête. On parle actuellement de presque 10 000 Palestiniens prisonniers en Israël, dont la moitié sans aucune charge. Il s'agit de détention administrative. Alors que les colons israéliens sont des civils, c'est plutôt le droit civil qui s'applique pour eux. Nous sommes dans une situation d'inégalité absolue, et cela depuis maintenant presque six décennies. La situation en Cisjordanie est maîtrisée par l'armée israélienne. L'armée israélienne maîtrise chaque mouvement en Cisjordanie. Il ne s'agit pas d'un territoire hors contrôle, il ne s'agit pas d'individus hors contrôle. Il s'agit plutôt pour nous d'un processus de purification ethnique qui est soutenu par l'État. Il s'agit d'une violence que l'État n'ose pas faire directement, mais laisse les individus faire à sa place. Le ministère palestinien de la Santé a annoncé qu'un homme de 26 ans a été tué lors d'un raid israélien à Naplouse, dimanche 10 mai 2026. Le Haut-Commissariat aux droits de l'homme de l'ONU évoque « une violence effroyable qui n'épargne ni mort ni vivant » à propos de l'attaque du vendredi 8 mai 2026. Que fait la communauté internationale pour contrer ce phénomène ? Elle n'en fait pas assez, alors que les faits sont connus. Il y a énormément d'incidents connus, même filmés en vidéo. Et pire, les criminels sont en liberté, qu'il s'agisse de soldats ou de civils. Dans les deux cas, le régime israélien continue avec cette violence dans l'impunité la plus totale. Désormais, on parle de sanctions individuelles contre les colons. Mais la violence ne vient pas des individus, mais de tout le système qui les protège. D'ailleurs, même les individus sous sanctions restent en liberté et continuent à terroriser les Palestiniens et continuent à construire des avant-postes. En parlant de sanctions, la cheffe de la diplomatie européenne, Kaja Kallas, dit s'attendre à un accord politique concernant les sanctions visant les colons israéliens violents. Cela peut-il avoir des conséquences sur le terrain ? C'est très bien que l'Union européenne commence à bouger un peu par rapport à ce qui se passe en Palestine occupée, en Cisjordanie et à Gaza. Par contre, c'est une mesure extrêmement symbolique qui n'a presque aucun effet sur le terrain. Il y a des colons qui sont libres en Cisjordanie, qui sont déjà sous sanctions américaines – qui sont depuis levées, des sanctions britanniques. Mais ils sont toujours là, et pour eux, il n'est pas question de visas à l'étranger, etc. Ils ont juste continué à grimper sur les collines en Cisjordanie et à faire peur.

Republica Moldova încă mai oscilează între trecut și viitor – Ziua Europei este sărbătoare oficială, însă o parte a societății, încă ancorată în tradiția sovietică, marchează de 9 mai Ziua Victoriei, pe model rusesc. O falie exploatată cu insistență de partidele pro-ruse. La Moscova, parada de 9 mai, de regulă una de amploare și organizată cu fast, este pusă sub presiune de dronele ucrainene, iar marșul în care rușii ies pe stradă cu fotografiile celor morți în al Doilea Război Mondial a fost anulat. În schimb, un marș similar este organizat de socialistul Igor Dodon la Chișinău. Ne explică Vitalie Cojocari, în ”Cronica lui Vitalie”. Temele ediției: - La Bălți, 9 mai este marcat între imnul rusesc Katiușa și fanfarele care interpretează „Treceți batalioane române Carpații”. Cine și cum participă la evenimentele organizate de 9 mai, ce simboluri domină orașul, unde se vede cel mai clar moștenirea sovietică și de ce 9 mai provoacă tensiuni, într-un material semnat de Denis Chirtoca. - Vicepreședinta Comisiei Europene, Kaja Kallas, susține la această oră o conferință de presă la Chișinău, cu ocazia unei vizite prilejute de Ziua Europei. - O dronă a survolat în această dimineață sudul Republicii Moldova timp de aproape o jumătate de oră, din direcția Ucrainei și a căzut în apropierea localității Larga Nouă, din raionul Cahul. - Premieră la Chișinău a documentarului „Breaking Silence”, despre curajul de a spune adevărul atunci când tăcerea devine convenabilă – povestea reală a cinci jurnaliști din Republica Moldova, Ucraina, Belarus, Georgia și Armenia — oameni care au plătit un preț enorm pentru a-și face meseria onest. Invitatul de astăzi este unul din autorii filmului, directorul Telefilm Chișinău, jurnalistul Mircea Surdu. - Datele cercetării „Percepţia românilor cu privire la Republica Moldova”, realizate de compania INSCOP din România, arată și că peste două treimi din români consideră că unirea cu Republica Moldova este o datorie istorică, în timp ce 26,4% sunt de părerea contrarie. Mai mult de o treime consideră însă că unirea nu se va realiza niciodată. - Mai multe țări, printre care și Moldova, au semnat o declarație comună de condamnare a participării Federației Ruse la Bienala de la Veneția. - Republica Moldova participă pentru prima dată la Bienala de la Veneția. cu proiectul „În a mia și a doua noapte”, realizat de artistul Pavel Brăila și curatoriat de Adelina Luft. - Regizorul Igor Cobâleanski, originar din Republica Moldova, a fost premiat de 3 ori la Gala premiilor Gopo. Știrile zilei: O dronă a survolat în această dimineață sudul Republicii Moldova timp de aproape o jumătate de oră, din direcția Ucrainei. Aparatul a fost detectat de Armata Națională în jurul orei 9:35, iar spațiul aerian a fost închis. La ora 10.16 drona a dispărut de pe radare în apropierea localității Larga Nouă, Cahul. Formularea oficială însemnă că drona a căzut în preajma satului. Comunicatul armatei nu precizează dacă aparatul a explodat sau nu. Spațiul aerian continuă să fie închis în sudul Republicii Moldova. Vicepreședinta Comisiei Europene, Kaja Kallas, face o vizită în R.Moldova, în ajunul Zilei Europei. La această oră, Kaja Kallas susține o conferință de presă împreună cu președinta Maia Sandu. Oficiala europeană are întrevederi la Chișinău cu premierul Alexandru Munteanu, cu ministrul  de Externe și cel al Apărării, dar și cu societatea civilă și cu tineri din Republica Moldova. Premierul Alexandru Munteanu a cerut miniștrilor să se implice activ în activitățile planificate pentru Ziua Europei, pentru a explica oamenilor valorile europene, în așa fel încât direcția europeană să fie îmbrățișată de cât mai mulți cetățeni ai Republicii Moldova. *** Premierul Alexandru Munteanu a mai anunțat în cadrul ședinței de Guvern de joi că o misiune a Fondului Monetar Internațional va fi la Chișinău în următoarele două săptămâni pentru a discuta un nou program cu Republica Moldova. Într-un comunicat, executivul a anunțat că discuțiile cu FMI se axează pe reforma fiscală, politicile macroeconomice, stabilitatea financiară și dezvoltarea pieței de capital. *** Banca Națională a Moldovei a majorat rata de bază a dobânzii de politică monetară de la 5% la 6,5%. Instituția explică decizia prin intensificarea presiunilor inflaționiste, pe fondul conflictului din Orientul Mijlociu și al creșterii prețurilor internaționale la resurse energetice și produse alimentare. *** Mai multe țări, printre care și Moldova, au semnat o declarație comună de condamnare a participării Federației Ruse la Bienala de la Veneția, o prestigioasă expoziție culturală internațională. Potrivit ministrului culturii, Cristian Jardan, gestul reprezintă un mesaj de solidaritate cu Ucraina, cu oamenii săi și cu artiștii care continuă să creeze, în timp ce țara lor trece prin război, transmite IPN. Declarația a fost semnată de miniștrii culturii din Moldova, Ucraina, Polonia, Lituania și Estonia. Ministrul Cristian Jardan a afirmat că prezența pe marile scene culturale internaționale a unui stat care provoacă distrugeri și pierderi umane nu poate fi tratată ca o normalitate. *** Republica Moldova participă pentru prima la Bienala de la Veneția cu proiectul „În a mia și a doua noapte”, realizat de artistul Pavel Brăila și curatoriat de Adelina Luft. Bienala de la Veneția se deschide pentru public pe 9 mai și este una dintre cele mai prestigioase manifestări de arte vizuale contemporane din lume. *** Regizorul, Igor Cobâleanski, originar din Republica Moldova, a fost premiat de 3 ori la Gala premiilor Gopo: cel mai bun scurtmetraj pentru filmul „Nebunul”, cel mai bun scenariu și cea mai bună regie pentru filmul „Comatogen”.

La Chișinău, în contextul incertitudinii politice de la București, revine o întrebare constantă: în ce măsură această criză ar putea influența sprijinul României pentru Republica Moldova și continuitatea proiectelor comune, mai ales în scenariul unui executiv fragil sau al unui premier cu susținere politică limitată. Liliana Barbăroșie sintetizează opiniile și îngrijorările exprimate la Chișinău în legătură cu evoluțiile de la București.    Temele ediției: -        Republica Moldova, care este supusă aproape permanent șocurilor și instabilităților politice, acum, paradoxal, pare o oază de stabilitate, democrație și și aspirații europene în spațiul românesc, spune invitatul de astăzi al Moldova Zoom europarlamentarul Siegfried Mureșan. Un premier slab la București poate lăsa în zona declarativă proiectele începute cu Republica Moldova, însă parcursul european al Chișinăului nu este amenințat în acest moment – pentru că este bine ancorat și susținut la Bruxelles. -        Vicepreședinta Comisiei Europene, Kaja Kallas, face o vizită în R.Moldova, în ajunul Zilei Europei. Înaltul Reprezentant al Uniunii Europene pentru afaceri externe și politica de securitate va avea întrevederi cu președinta Maia Sandu, dar și miniștrii de Externe și cel al Apărării. Între timp, socialiștii lui Dodon se pregătesc să serbeze, tot pe 9 mai, Ziua Victoriei. Valeria Vițu aduce detalii de la Chișinău. -        Justiția din Republica Moldova este în fața unui nou mare proces de corupție. Procurorii acuză că oligarhul condamnat Vladimir Plahotniuc i-ar fi dat fostului președinte, socialistului Igor Dodon, 800 de mii de dolari. Dodon neagă acuzațiile și cere judecarea de la zero. Ar fi a doua oară când dosarul ar reîncepe de la zero. De ce l-a refuzat instanța această solicitare?

Ministrul Energiei, Dorin Junghietu, a declarat pentru NewsMaker că suma se ridică la aproximativ 500 de mii de lei moldovenești, echivalentul a 25 de mii de euro. Nota de plată urmează să fie transmisă Federației Ruse. „Ei au atacat linia, ei ne-au afectat infrastructura”, spune ministrul. În urma atacului cu drone, principala arteră prin care Republica Moldova importă curent din România a fost scoasă din funcțiune pentru aproape o săptămână, iar pentru a menține alimentarea cu energie, Moldelectrica, în coordonare cu operatorii din România și Ucraina, a activat rute alternative. Guvernul de la Chișinău a instituit atunci stare stării de urgență în energie pentru a putea gestiona situația de criză. *** Autoritățile moldovene își concentrează resursele pe corupția la nivel înalt. Guvernul modifică regulile de investigare a cauzelor penale. Centrul Național Anticorupție (CNA) își va extinde competențele pentru investigarea fraudelor financiare în proporții deosebit de mari, inclusiv ale celor care afectează fondurile publice, externe și interesele financiare ale Uniunii Europene, potrivit unui proiect aprobat de Guvern. Centrul Național Anticorupție va deveni instituția principală responsabilă de investigarea oricărei fraude care vizează fondurile venite din afara țării și resursele financiare ale Uniunii Europene. De asemenea, atribuțiile Procuraturii Anticorupție au fost modificate pentru a combate mai eficient corupția de nivel înalt. Procuratura pentru Combaterea Criminalității Organizate și Cauze Speciale (PCCOCS) se va concentra pe criminalitatea organizată, terorism și cauzele cu un grad ridicat de complexitate. Iar în cazurile economico-financiare și vamale, urmărirea penală va putea fi efectuată de Serviciul Fiscal de Stat și Serviciul Vamal, sub conducerea PCCOCS, deoarece aceste instituții au datele, instrumentele și expertiza necesară Noile măsuri fac parte din agenda de reforme menită să alinieze Republica Moldova la standardele Uniunii Europene, termenul de implementare fiind stabilit pentru iunie 2026. *** Republica Moldova se confruntă cu un deficit major de forță de muncă, iar soluția ar putea include importul a peste 300 de mii de lucrători din alte țări, a declarat ministrul Dezvoltării Economice de la Chișinău, Eugeniu Osmochescu, la TVR Moldova. Eugeniu Osmochescu a precizat că au fost identificate trei domenii principale care pot impulsiona creșterea economică: industria, tehnologia informației și comunicațiilor și agricultura. În contextul lipsei acute de personal, ministrul susține că importul de forță de muncă devine o necesitate. În același timp, el a dat asigurări că acest proces va fi strict reglementat și nu va pune în pericol securitatea statului. În paralel, autoritățile își propun să mobilizeze și resursele interne, inclusiv populația inactivă. *** Liderul separatist de la Tiraspol, Vadim Krasnoselski, îi mulţumeşte Maiei Sandu pentru poziţia privind Transnistria, după ce secretarul Consiliului de Securitate al Rusiei, Serghei Şoigu a acuzat de la Moscova Chişinăul că încearcă să elimine trupele ruse din regiunea pro-rusă din estul Republicii Moldova. „Oricât de complicate ar fi relaţiile noastre, eu totuşi cred în politicienii moldoveni, a declarat K presei locale. Cred că spun adevărul şi că sunt împotriva soluţionării militare a problemei transnistrene. Desigur, există multe nuanţe - şi înarmarea Moldovei, şi unităţile speciale care participă în programe NATO. Dar asta e altceva. Eu o cred pe doamna preşedintă când spune că nu doreşte să rezolve problema transnistreană pe cale militară. Şi le mulţumesc pentru asta, fără îndoială”, a declarat marţi Vadim Krasnoselski, citat de NewsMaker și News.ro. Declaraţiile vin după ce secretarul Consiliului de Securitate al Rusiei, Serghei Şoigu, a acuzat autorităţile de la Chişinău că, împreună cu Uniunea Europeană, ar încerca să elimine din regiune Grupul Operativ al Trupelor Ruse (GOTR). Oficialul rus a declarat că Moscova „va folosi toate metodele disponibile” pentru a-şi proteja cetăţenii din regiunea transnistreană. Mesajul a fsot preluat și de ambasadorul neacreditat al Rusiei la Chișinău, Oleg Ozerov, care a amenințat că Rusia va apăra cetăţenii ruşi din stânga Nistrului „prin toate mijloacele disponibile”. Chișinăul a reacționat amintind că prezenţa trupelor ruse pe teritoriul Republicii Moldova este ilegală și a calificat declarațiile Moscovei drept „provocatoare, inacceptabile şi regretabile”. Şi Uniunea Europeană a respins ameninţările Moscovei. Purtătoarea de cuvânt a Comisiei Europene, Anitta Hipper, a declarat că UE susţine „pe deplin independenţa, suveranitatea şi integritatea teritorială a Republicii Moldova, în frontierele sale recunoscute internaţional. Rusia este bună doar la a ameninţa, a minţi şi a submina stabilitatea regională”, a adăugat Purtătoarea de cuvânt a Comisiei Europene.

Predsednik SDS Janez Janša je napovedal, da bodo prve korake za oblikovanje nove koalicije naredili po obravnavi njihovega predloga sprememb zakona o vladi v državnem zboru. Če bo zakon, ki predvideva zmanjšanje števila ministrskih resorjev, potrjen, bo SDS morebitnim koalicijskim partnericam poslala izhodišča za usklajevanje koalicijske pogodbe. Če bodo našle skupni jezik, se bo nadaljevalo usklajevanje resornih programov za prihodnja 4 leta, in šele zatem sledi sestavljanje morebitne vlade. Ob tem poudarja, da SDS vlade ne bo sestavljala za vsako ceno. V oddaji tudi o tem: - Evropska unija vztraja pri odprtju Hormuške ožine - Vodja evropske diplomacije Kaja Kallas: še naprej bomo podpirali Ukrajino - Piran z okolico v prihodnjih dneh v znamenju solinarskega praznika

VOV1 - Ukraine vừa sửa chữa xong đường ống vận chuyển dầu của Nga đến châu Âu Druzhba bị hư hại hồi đầu năm và sẵn sàng nối lại việc cung cấp, động thái này nhằm gỡ bỏ trở ngại mà nước này hy vọng là rào cản cuối cùng để nhận được đảm bảo khoản hỗ trợ hàng chục tỷ euro từ Brussels. Đường ống dẫn dầu này đã trở thành tâm điểm của cuộc đối đầu giữa Hungary và Slovakia với Ukraine, vì hai nước vẫn phụ thuộc phần lớn vào việc nhập khẩu dầu của Nga qua đường ống này. Theo một số nguồn tin, Ukraine có thể nối lại việc bơm dầu của Nga sang hai nước EU ngay khi nhận được yêu cầu chính thức.Nhà lãnh đạo theo chủ nghĩa dân tộc sắp mãn nhiệm của Hungary, Viktor Orban, đã trì hoãn khoản vay trị giá 90 tỷ euro cho Ukraine của EU như một chiến lược nhằm gây áp lực buộc Ukraine phải sửa chữa và nối lại đường ống dẫn nhiên liệu này. Tuy nhiên, thất bại của ông trong cuộc bầu cử hồi đầu tháng này được xem là bước mở đường cho việc giải ngân số tiền đó.Trong tuyên bố trên mạng xã hội, Tổng thống Ukraine Zelensky cho biết Ukraine đã hoàn thành công tác sửa chữa đoạn đường ống dẫn dầu Druzhba bị hư hại và sẵn sàng hoạt động trở lại. Ông cũng không hề che giấu lập trường phản đối mạnh mẽ việc một số thành viên EU vẫn mua dầu của Nga. Ngay sau khi xác nhận việc sửa chữa đã hoàn tất, Tổng thống Ukraine đã trao đổi với Chủ tịch Ủy ban châu Âu Ursula von der Leyen về tương lai của khoản vay 90 tỷ euro bị trì hoãn từ lâu và nhấn mạnh việc cần gây áp lực trừng phạt lên Nga cũng như cần nỗ lực đa dạng  hóa nguồn cung năng lượng cho châu Âu. Tiếp đó, Cao ủy phụ trách chính sách đối ngoại của EU, Kaja Kallas, cho biết EU kỳ vọng sẽ đạt được thỏa thuận trong vòng 24 giờ tới.Hải Đăng/VOV-PrahaTải vềPlayMuteRemaining Time -1:17Ảnh: Reuters

VOV1 - Liên minh châu Âu (EU) đã nhất trí mở rộng các biện pháp trừng phạt liên quan đến Iran, trong đó bao gồm việc nhắm tới các cá nhân và thực thể bị cho là có vai trò trong việc cản trở hoạt động hàng hải tại Eo biển Hormuz.Phát biểu sau cuộc họp các Bộ trưởng ngoại giao châu Âu tại Luxembourg, Đại diện cấp cao của EU về Chính sách Đối ngoại và An ninh Kaja Kallas cho biết Liên minh châu Âu đã nhất trí mở rộng phạm vi áp dụng các biện pháp trừng phạt đối với Iran, trong bối cảnh căng thẳng tại Trung Đông tiếp tục làm gián đoạn các tuyến vận tải năng lượng chiến lược. Tuy nhiên, các biện pháp cụ thể, bao gồm danh sách đối tượng bị áp dụng trừng phạt, vẫn cần được hoàn thiện trong thời gian tới.Bà Kaja Kallas cũng kêu gọi tăng cường năng lực của các sứ mệnh hải quân châu Âu tại khu vực Trung Đông. Hiện nay, lực lượng này đang tham gia bảo vệ các tuyến hàng hải quốc tế, đặc biệt tại Biển Đỏ, nơi các tàu thương mại đối mặt với nguy cơ bị tấn công từ lực lượng Houthi tại Yemen.Động thái siết chặt trừng phạt của EU diễn ra sau khi Tehran gia tăng kiểm soát Eo biển Hormuz, đáp trả các cuộc không kích của Mỹ và Israel từ cuối tháng 2/2026. Sự gián đoạn tại tuyến hàng hải then chốt này đã tác động đến khoảng 20% lưu lượng vận chuyển dầu mỏ và khí tự nhiên hóa lỏng toàn cầu, qua đó làm gia tăng sức ép lên thị trường năng lượng quốc tế.Việc EU mở rộng các biện pháp trừng phạt không chỉ phản ánh nỗ lực sử dụng công cụ kinh tế - ngoại giao để xử lý rủi ro an ninh, mà còn khẳng định cam kết của khối trong việc bảo đảm ổn định chuỗi cung ứng năng lượng và duy trì nguyên tắc tự do hàng hải toàn cầu../.Anh Tuấn - Anh Tuyển/VOV-Paris

Ryssland vill dra nytta av ett stigande oljepris och risiga fartyg ur skuggflottan trängs i Östersjön. Samtidigt vidtar flera länder tuffare åtgärder. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Rostiga oljetankers med flaggor från små stater långt bort har blivit vanligare i Östersjön. Felicia Hassan har följt med den estniska marinen ut i Finska viken, där en lång rad tankfartyg ligger på svaj och där även ryska militärbåtar syns patrullera. Uppmärksammade bordningar av misstänkt falskflaggade fartyg i bland annat Belgien och Sverige har under våren prövat juridiken till havs. Nu vill även EU gå längre mot den ryska skuggflottan och EU:s utrikeschef Kaja Kallas talar om att ”ta av sig handskarna”. Men vad mer går att åstadkomma genom utökade sanktioner? Under våren har även ukrainska drönarattacker mot ryska hamnar påverkat skuggflottans utrymme att verka, samtidigt som mer står på spel för Ryssland. Vi frågar oss hur säkerhetsläget i Östersjön kan utvecklas framåt. Medverkande: Felicia Hassan, Östersjökorrespondent. Bo Torbjörn Ek, säkerhetsreporter Dagens Nyheter.

Nach fast zwei Monaten Krieg ist die islamische Führung weiterhin an der Macht, inszeniert sich sogar als Sieger im Kräftemessen mit den USA. Mögliche diplomatische Annäherungen betrachteten viele Iraner deshalb mit großer Skepsis. │ Wie geht es mit dem Iran weiter? Ob es Verhandlungen mit den USA gibt, ist immer noch unklar. Wer sitzt am längeren Hebel? Dazu eine Einschätzung von Klemens Fischer, Professor für Internationale Beziehungen und Geopolitik an der Uni Köln. │ Die Straße von Hormus ist ein Brennpunkt im Iran-Krieg. Kai Küstner vom Podcast Streitkräfte und Strategien berichtet über die aktuelle Lage. │ Der weltgrößte Kondomhersteller Karex will wegen gestörter Lieferketten infolge des Iran-Kriegs die Preise um 20 bis 30 Prozent anheben. Die Nachfrage nach Kondomen sei in diesem Jahr um rund 30 Prozent gestiegen, da viele Kunden wegen hoher Frachtkosten und Lieferverzögerungen nur noch geringe Lagerbestände hätten, so der Hersteller. │ Die Europäische Union dürfte den Weg für einen 90 Milliarden Euro schweren Kredit an die Ukraine freimachen. Die EU-Außenbeauftragte Kaja Kallas rechnet mit einer positiven Entscheidung über die Finanzhilfen, die bereits im Dezember von allen Mitgliedsstaaten grundsätzlich vereinbart worden waren.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warned on Thursday that Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz could lead down a “slippery slope” of imposing tolls and taxes over international waters, which she described as a “very dangerous development”. In an interview with The National, she pushed back against US President Donald Trump's suggestion of a “joint venture” with Iran to handle transit at the strategic strait and said the blockade had become “everybody's problem”. Iran and the US agreed on Wednesday to a two-week ceasefire after 40 days of war. Negotiations are set to begin in Pakistan this weekend to reach a comprehensive deal. However, Israel has continued its attacks on Lebanon, which Ms Kallas said should be included in the truce. In this bonus episode of Beyond the Headlines, The National's foreign editor Ali Harisi sits down with Ms Kallas to discuss the prospects of the US-Iran ceasefire and the role the EU could play in diplomacy

C dans l'air du 1er avril 2026 - Trump menace de « quitter l'Iran »...et l'OTAN !Plus d'un mois après le début de la guerre au Moyen-Orient, alors que la fermeture du détroit d'Ormuz par le régime des Mollahs entraîne un ralentissement de l'économie mondiale, le président des États-Unis s'en est pris aux Français « qui ne nous aident pas », aux Européens « incapables de se battre », au Royaume-Uni, ainsi qu'à l'OTAN « qui ne sert à rien »…Dans un message publié hier sur son réseau social, Donald Trump a même affirmé que la France avait refusé le survol de son territoire à des avions américains et s'était montrée « très peu coopérative » face à celui qu'il appelle « le boucher d'Iran » : « les États-Unis s'en souviendront », a-t-il ajouté. Le président américain a également déclaré que son pays quitterait l'Iran « très bientôt », « dans deux ou trois semaines », laissant la France et les autres pays « se débrouiller tout seuls » avec le détroit d'Ormuz.Un peu plus tard, sur Fox News, les États-Unis, par la voix de Marco Rubio, ont par ailleurs menacé de réévaluer leur engagement dans l'OTAN face au refus de certains alliés européens de soutenir leurs opérations militaires. « L'OTAN fonctionne à sens unique », a assuré le secrétaire d'État. « Nous allons devoir réexaminer cette relation. Il faudra l'examiner attentivement après la fin du conflit. »L'OTAN est en réalité dans le viseur des États-Unis depuis plusieurs mois — c'est l'une des obsessions de Donald Trump. Mais envisage-t-il sérieusement un retrait des États-Unis de l'OTAN ? Et quel rôle joue la Russie dans cette guerre au Moyen-Orient ?En marge d'une réunion du G7, le 26 mars dernier, la cheffe de la diplomatie de l'Union européenne, Kaja Kallas, a affirmé l'existence d'une aide russe à l'Iran dans le cadre du conflit. « Nous constatons que la Russie aide l'Iran sur le plan du renseignement pour cibler des Américains, pour tuer des Américains, et qu'elle fournit également des drones afin que ce pays puisse attaquer ses voisins ainsi que des bases militaires américaines », a-t-elle déclaré. Le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky, lui aussi, se dit persuadé de cette aide de Moscou à Téhéran et affirme détenir des « preuves irréfutables ».Parallèlement, en réponse à l'affolement des marchés mondiaux — qui a déjà provoqué des hausses de prix à la pompe, aux États-Unis comme en Europe —, Donald Trump a décidé, mi-mars, de lever une partie des sanctions américaines sur le pétrole russe pour une durée de trente jours. La mesure concerne les barils stockés sur des navires depuis la mise en place des sanctions. Les Européens ont critiqué cette décision et maintenu leurs propres sanctions, alors que, sur le terrain, depuis dix jours, l'Ukraine multiplie les attaques contre les infrastructures clés de l'exportation de pétrole brut russe. L'objectif de Kiev est de limiter le surcroît de recettes que Moscou tire de la flambée des cours.Alors, qui sont les gagnants et les perdants de la guerre au Moyen-Orient ? Donald Trump va-t-il finalement opter pour une sortie rapide du conflit ? Quid de l'OTAN ? Enfin, Emmanuel Macron a convoqué ces dernières semaines plusieurs conseils de défense : comment fonctionne ce dispositif ?Nos experts :- Général François CHAUVANCY - Rédacteur en chef de la revue Défense de l'Union-IHEDN, l'Institut des hautes études de défense nationale- Frédéric ENCEL - Docteur en géopolitique, maître de conférences à Sciences Po Paris et à la Paris School of Business, auteur de La guerre mondiale n'aura pas lieu aux Editions Odile Jacob- Laure MANDEVILLE - grand reporter au Figaro- Mélissa BELL - journaliste, correspondante à Paris pour CNN- Marie BILLON (en duplex de Londres )- correspondante en Grande-Bretagne pour la radio RTL

President Trump extends his deadline for attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure until April 6th, as talks reportedly continue. The US leader insists Tehran is desperate to end the war, even as it rejects the first US proposal. Oil prices ease and Asian stocks come well off session lows, as investors digest Trump's deadline extension and Iran's move to allow some tankers through the Strait. Futures in Europe and on Wall Street point higher, following Thursday's sell-off. Waiting on Rubio - the US Secretary of State is set to join his G7 peers in France for a second day of talks - as EU's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says Russia's involvement in Iran reflects how the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine are connected.

In EVN Report's news roundup for the week of March 20: E.U. announces €140 million in additional funding to Armenia to accelerate reforms; the Minister of Economy says Armenia is already feeling the effects of the conflict in Iran; EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says Russia has already begun targeting Armenia ahead of its elections.

The United States is finding itself increasingly isolated as the conflict with Iran deepens. Key allies in Europe and elsewhere have shown little appetite for endorsing or joining Washington's military course, and European officials have publicly stressed diplomacy over escalation. Reuters reported on March 17, 2026 that EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas called for a diplomatic solution around the Strait of Hormuz rather than a military response. At the same time, reporting indicates that U.S. efforts to rally allied support have largely been rebuffed. AP reported that NATO and several major partners, including Japan, Australia, South Korea, and China, declined to join the U.S. effort tied to the conflict, while European leaders distanced themselves from Trump's unilateral approach. That leaves Washington trying to defend not only the war itself, but the way it began. Critics argue that the United States has not publicly demonstrated that Iran posed an imminent threat warranting attack, and they point to the lack of broad international backing, the absence of consultation with Congress and allies, and the fact that diplomacy with Iran had not fully run its course. Those are now central arguments in the global debate over whether the strikes were lawful, strategic, or reckless. Some critics and diplomats have gone further, suggesting the action violated international norms, though such legal claims remain accusations and would ultimately depend on formal international findings rather than political rhetoric alone. President Trump, meanwhile, appears to be walking a narrow and rather windy ridge. Even as he pressed allies to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, he also signaled that the U.S. could go forward without them. That contradiction has only amplified the impression of a White House scrambling to justify both the war and its growing diplomatic costs. What makes this moment so ominous is not only the violence, but the political isolation surrounding it. If the United States continues down a path of unilateral warfare while alienating the allies it never properly consulted, it risks turning a regional conflict into a broader crisis of legitimacy. Great powers often say they are saving the world; history, with a raised eyebrow, usually asks for receipts.If you want this same piece turned into a tighter op-ed, a letter to the editor, or a social media caption thread, I can shape it into that form too.This article was published in The Neoliberal Journals and written and narrated by Renaldo McKenzie, Editor-in-Chief at The Neoliberal and Creator and Host of The Neoliberal RoundArticle Link: https://theneoliberal.com/a-war-without-allies-trump-struggles-to-garner-nato-support/

US President Donald Trump has described the Iranian regime as "sick", "demented", "maniacs", and promised a quick end to the war. Following his meeting with Taoiseach Micheál Martin yesterday, Mr. Trump says he's "way ahead of schedule" on Iran and the whole world should be "very thankful" for his intervention. He also said he is disappointed in NATO, and gave a timeline of a "couple of weeks" for the end of the war. President Trump said he was forced to act. The EU's foreign policy chief says the door is not closed to European participation in protecting the Strait of Hormuz. But Kaja Kallas says it would probably be part of a diplomatic solution. She also says EU is consulting with governments in the Middle East about how to bring the conflict to a conclusion. Kaja Kallas warned about the need to improve our own defences. Iran has confirmed its top security official has been killed in an airstrike. Tehran had yesterday denied Ali Larijani had been killed - displaying a handwritten note supposedly written by him as evidence he was alive. Iran launched missiles at Israel overnight, killing two people. Meanwhile, senior US counter-terrorism boss Joe Kent has resigned, saying he doesn't support the conflict. To discuss all of this, along with growing concern about the impact on global energy supplies and fuel prices, given the situation with the Strait of Hormuz, through which around 20% of the world's oil passes, Alan Morrissey was joined by Donnacha Ó Beacháin, Associate Professor of Politics at Dublin City University, and Micheál Collins, Assistant Professor of Social Policy at University College Dublin.

For review:1. A missile strike on a house in Baghdad on Tuesday killed two people, with initial reports suggesting they are “Iranian advisers” to Tehran-backed groups, a security official tells AFP.2. Rockets and at least five drones were launched at the US embassy in Baghdad early Tuesday from areas around the city, Iraqi security sources say, describing the attack as the most intense since the start of the US-Israel war with Iran.3. Amid the latest Iranian missile attack on Israel, the military announces that it has launched “extensive” strikes against targets in both Tehran and Beirut.In the Iranian capital, the IDF says it's striking “infrastructure of the terror regime,” while in Beirut it's attacking Hezbollah targets.4. US President Donald Trump's administration is urging US diplomats abroad to push allies to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Lebanon-based Hezbollah as terrorist groups, according to an internal State Department cable seen by Reuters.5. US efforts to open Strait of Hormuz:Both The Wall Street Journal and Axios reported that President Trump was planning to announce the formation of such a multinational coalition as early as this week. Axios added, citing unnamed US officials, that President Trump was also mulling the option of seizing Iran's key oil depot on Kharg Island -- if Tehran continues to deny oil tankers passage through the strait, a move that would require American boots on the ground.US Energy Secretary Chris Wright told NBC earlier Sunday that he has been “in dialogue” with some of the countries Trump had mentioned previously, and said he expected China “will be a constructive partner” in reopening the strait.“It is in our interest to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, and that's why we are also discussing what we can do in this regard from the European side,” Kaja Kallas, the EU's foreign policy chief, said Monday ahead of a meeting of the 27-nation bloc's foreign ministers in Brussels.6. Iran's military apparatus is “in distress” and incapable of launching many missiles at Israel, while members of the country's security forces stay inside for fear of Israeli and US warplanes, according to an assessment reportedly delivered by the IDF intelligence chief to political leaders.7. Iraq's powerful armed group Kataeb Hezbollah said Monday that its senior security commander, Abu Ali al-Askari, had been killed, without providing details on the circumstances of his death.8. A “significant Israeli ground offensive” in Lebanon must be averted since it could have devastating humanitarian consequences, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Britain say in a joint statement.9. US Navy mine warfare capabilities.10. Lockheed Martin has announced it carried out the first flight test for the Army's Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) Increment 2 program, the service's initiative at developing a multimode seeker capable of hitting maritime targets on the move. Lockheed's announcement comes shortly after the Army announced its PrSM Increment 1 capabilities, also developed by Lockheed Martin, were used for the first time in combat during the ongoing conflict in Iran. 

President Trump calls on allies to help secure the Strait of Hormuz with exports through the vital oil chokepoint remaining effectively halted, while European foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas criticizes the U.S. government's decision to lift some energy sanctions on Russia. Oil prices tick higher as the disruption continues, with traders looking to navigate price volatility. Investors look ahead to a massive week of central bank action, as lenders across the globe grapple with fallout from the conflict in the Middle East. Unicredit launches a bid to raise its stake in Commerzbank above the 30% level but says it doesn't want to take control of the German lender.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Več organizacij civilne družbe je danes razkrilo, da naj bi za prisluhi vidnim slovenskim osebnostim stali zasebni izraelski obveščevalci. Kot pravijo, naj bi v Ljubljani obiskali tudi sedež stranke SDS. Stranka povezave zanika, iz koalicije pa prihajajo ostri odzivi. Zunanja ministrica Tanja Fajon je to označila za neposreden napad na suverenost države in zaupanje volivcev v poštenost volitev. Druge teme: - Državna volilna komisija zavrača očitke stranke SDS, da je varnost glasovnic na predčasnem glasovanju pod vprašajem. Kot je dejal predsednik DVK Peter Golob, bodo skrinjice zaklenjene, varovane s kamero s prenosom v živo in varnostniki, zato je vsak dvom v varnost odveč. - Vlada kljub prvotnim napovedim za zdaj ne bo sprostila naftnih rezerv. Kot so sporočili po sestanku ministrstev z družbama Petrol in Mol, je zalog dovolj, prav tako ni oviran pomorski dovoz nafte v Slovenijo. - V mednarodni skupnosti se medtem pojavljajo različne ideje glede zagotavljanja varnosti Hormuške ožine.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta sexta-feira (13): O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva anunciou um pacote de medidas para conter o impacto da guerra no Irã sobre o preço do diesel e a inflação. Entre as ações estão um decreto que zera as alíquotas de PIS/Cofins sobre o combustível, o que pode reduzir o valor em R$ 0,32 por litro, e uma medida provisória que prevê subvenção no mesmo valor a produtores e importadores. O governo também determinou a tributação da exportação de petróleo para ampliar o refino interno e exigiu que postos de combustíveis informem de forma clara aos consumidores a redução de impostos e preços. Os Estados Unidos emitiram uma licença temporária de 30 dias que permite a países comprarem petróleo russo e derivados que atualmente estão retidos no mar. Segundo o secretário do Tesouro, Scott Bessent, a medida busca ajudar a estabilizar os mercados globais de energia diante da volatilidade causada pela guerra contra o Irã. O anúncio ocorreu poucas horas depois de o preço do petróleo ultrapassar a marca de US$ 100 por barril, atingindo o maior nível em quase quatro anos. O Brasil registrou 140 casos confirmados de Mpox desde o início de 2026, segundo dados atualizados pelo Ministério da Saúde. Até o momento, não houve registro de mortes pela doença no período. Além dos casos confirmados, o país contabiliza 539 casos suspeitos e 9 considerados prováveis, mantendo o monitoramento da situação pelas autoridades de saúde. O novo líder supremo do Irã, Mojtaba Khamenei, afirmou que o país deve continuar utilizando o bloqueio do Estreito de Ormuz como instrumento de pressão geopolítica. A declaração foi divulgada por meio de uma mensagem lida na TV estatal iraniana, poucos dias após ele assumir o posto ocupado por seu pai, Ali Khamenei. No comunicado, o novo líder também aconselhou países vizinhos a fecharem bases militares dos Estados Unidos na região, afirmando que essas instalações continuarão sendo alvo de ataques iranianos. O Estreito de Ormuz é uma das rotas marítimas mais estratégicas do mundo para o transporte de petróleo, o que aumenta a tensão internacional diante das novas ameaças. A chefe da diplomacia da União Europeia, Kaja Kallas, criticou o governo do presidente Donald Trump e afirmou que o líder americano tenta “dividir a Europa” com estratégias semelhantes às usadas por adversários do bloco. Em entrevista ao Financial Times, Kallas citou tarifas comerciais, ameaças econômicas e até discussões sobre a anexação da Groenlândia como exemplos de pressão sobre países europeus. O ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro foi levado ao hospital na manhã de sexta-feira (13) após apresentar mal-estar enquanto estava detido no 19º Batalhão da Polícia Militar do Distrito Federal, conhecido como “Papudinha”, em Brasília. Segundo o senador Flávio Bolsonaro, o ex-presidente acordou com calafrios e episódios de vômito. O Corpo de Bombeiros do Distrito Federal foi acionado por volta das 7h40 para prestar atendimento. O Ministério Público do Paraná sofreu uma nova derrota no desdobramento judicial do Caso Evandro após recorrer ao Supremo Tribunal Federal contra uma decisão do Superior Tribunal de Justiça. O ministro Gilmar Mendes manteve a revisão criminal que anulou os processos relacionados ao desaparecimento e morte do menino Evandro Ramos Caetano. Com isso, seguem absolvidos Osvaldo Marcineiro, Davi dos Santos Soares e Beatriz Abagge, que haviam sido condenados pelo crime ocorrido nos anos 1990 e que se tornou um dos casos criminais mais controversos da história recente do Brasil.

De oorlog in Oekraïne, de escalatie rond Iran, de Amerikaanse blikken op Groenland en Venezuela: de EU reageert te laat, te verdeeld en te zwak. We leggen uit waarom dat zo is en wat er aan te doen valt. We lazen het Clingendael-rapport 'From Economic Giant to Geopolitical Powerhouse?'. Regel voor regel. Het rapport stelt een vraag die steeds urgenter wordt: hoe komt het dat de EU economisch een reus is maar geopolitiek een dwerg? We nemen je mee in het doolhof van Europese instellingen en buitenlandbeleid: wat is het GBVB, wat doet de EDEO, wat is de rol van Kaja Kallas en waarom botsen de Europese Commissie en de diplomatieke dienst steeds vaker? We bespreken het verschil tussen intergouvernementeel en supranationaal handelen, en waarom het unanimiteit vereiste de grootste rem is op daadkrachtig Europees optreden. De kernvraag die we stellen: is de EU te lief voor deze wereld om te kunnen overleven in een wereld die steeds meer op macht draait? En wat moet er dan veranderen: een EU-leger, een veto op het veto, meer slagkracht voor de Europese Commissie, of toch een Europa van meerdere snelheden? Zoals je van Studio Tegengif verwacht proberen we complexe zaken toegankelijk te bespreken. Deze aflevering werd gemaakt met ondersteuning van Wim Brons van remotepodcast.nl.

Washington va alla guerra e non ne parla con l'Europa, nessun passaggio all'Onu, nessuna comunicazione agli alleati della Nato. Nemmeno la tradizione regge e Londra è all'angolo dell'Atlantico. Trump colpisce, e sugli effetti poi si vedrà. Per gli europei solo un misto di disinteresse e disappunto soprattutto se, come capita alla Spagna di Sanchez, il silenzio si trasforma in aperta contrarietà dell'azione unilaterale. La Spagna nel mirino degli Stati Uniti? Non esageriamo, ma certo gli effetti potrebbero vedersi già nei prossimi giorni, se gli Usa davvero decideranno di alzare i dazi globali al 15%, come anticipato dalla Casa Bianca. In Italia il ministro della Difesa Crosetto descrive in aula lo stato dei rapporti transatlantici, quando dice "non ne sapevamo nulla". Ne parliamo a Europa Europa, condotto da Gigi Donelli, in onda domenica alle 11,30. Sentiamo tra gli altri il parere di Kaja Kallas, rappresentante dell'Unione per gli affari esteri e la politica di sicurezza europea.

While the world's gaze is fixed on the "mega-drama" unfolding across Iran and the Middle East, the tremors are being felt on the battlefields of Ukraine. In this episode, Roger Moorhouse and Patrick Bishop dive into the high-stakes geopolitical fallout of a widening Middle Eastern conflict and what it means for Kyiv. As the U.S. and Israel burn through interceptor stocks, we ask the critical question: Is there enough room in the American arsenal for both the Middle East and Ukraine? With Donald Trump's priorities shifting and production lines struggling to keep pace, Ukraine finds itself slipping further back in the queue for life-saving air defence. In this episode, we discuss: The Arsenal Drain: How the deployment of Patriot batteries across the Gulf and Israel's "nitty-gritty" need for ammunition is creating a global scarcity that threatens Ukrainian airspace. The Shaheed Shift: Why the disruption of Iranian exports might not be the win for Ukraine it seems, as Russia ramps up domestic production of the Geran-2 drone. Trump's "Forever War" Dilemma: The diplomatic consequences of a potential stalemate in Iran and why the U.S. President appears "out of the picture" regarding the Ukraine story. Europe's Exposed Weakness: A look at the "divided and hesitant" response from the EU's Big Three and the conspicuous silence of Kaja Kallas and Ursula von der Leyen. The Force de Frappe: France's bold move to evolve its nuclear doctrine as Europe begins the painful process of weaning itself off U.S. dependency. Is Putin the ultimate beneficiary of the chaos in Tehran? Join us as we unpack a week where the sidelines of the conflict have never felt more consequential.

El FMI avisa de que si el conflicto en Irán se prolonga afectará a la inflación y a los mercados energéticos mundiales. La jefa de la diplomacia comunitaria, Kaja Kallas, convoca hoy a todos los ministros de Exteriores de la UE por la escalada en Irán. La vicepresidenta segunda, Yolanda Díaz, se reúne hoy con patronal y sindicatos para tomar medidas con carácter inmediato por el conflicto.

C dans l'air l'invité du 28 février 2026 avec Bruno Tertrais, directeur adjoint de la Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique et auteur de « La question israélienne » aux éditions de L'Observatoire.Ce matin, les armées israélienne et américaine ont frappé l'Iran, actant ainsi l'échec des négociations en cours entre Washington et Téhéran. « Ce régime apprendra bientôt que personne ne doit défier la puissance et la force des forces armées des Etats-Unis (...) Déposez donc les armes. Vous serez traités équitablement avec une immunité totale, ou vous ferez face à une mort certaine » a déclaré Donald Trump dans la matinée au cours d'une allocution sur son réseau Truth social. L'Iran n'a pas tardé à répliquer, prenant pour cibles des bases américaines dans la région. L'embrasement au Moyen-Orient suscite de nombreuses réactions à l'international. Emmanuel Macron a réagi longuement sur X pour dénoncer une « escalade (...) dangereuse pour tous » qui « doit cesser ». La question reste ouverte quant à la légitimité de cette intervention, qui interroge quant à sa conformité vis-à-vis du droit international. La Norvège affirme que ces frappes ne le respectent pas. La réaction de la cheffe de la diplomatie de l'Union européenne, Kaja Kallas, est quant à elle mesurée.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã deste sábado (28): A escalada de tensão no Oriente Médio atinge um nível crítico. Fabrizio Neitzke, relata que a pressão norte-americana se intensificou após a estagnação das negociações sobre o acordo nuclear iraniano. O cenário de alerta máximo foi disparado quando o governo dos EUA emitiu um comunicado urgente recomendando que seus diplomatas deixassem Israel o quanto antes, temendo retaliações. Milhares de soldados americanos estão em perigo. Após o ataque direto ao Irã, as bases militares dos EUA espalhadas pelo Oriente Médio, como a de Al Udeid no Catar, tornaram-se alvos em potencial para o regime iraniano.Entenda as consequências geopolíticas da "Operação Fúria Épica" e como o Irã está respondendo militarmente a Israel e aos Estados Unidos. O jornalismo da Jovem Pan News traz o relato de Michelle Goldenfeld, uma brasileira que mora a apenas 20 minutos de Tel Aviv, em Israel, sobre o momento exato em que os ataques iranianos começaram a atingir o país. Em entrevista, Michelle conta que o clima de tensão já vinha escalando nos últimos dias, mas a situação atingiu o ápice quando as sirenes de alerta soaram pela manhã. Ela descreve a urgência de se abrigar no quarto antibombas (bunker) da residência e o som contínuo dos alarmes que ecoaram. Em declaração direta, Trump confirmou que as Forças Armadas americanas iniciaram grandes operações de combate dentro do território do Irã. O presidente justificou a ofensiva militar afirmando que o objetivo principal é defender o povo americano e eliminar as "ameaças iminentes do regime iraniano", classificando os líderes do país como um "grupo perverso de pessoas cruéis e terríveis". Na madrugada deste sábado (28), Estados Unidos e Israel atacaram o Irã com mísseis. Para entender o peso geopolítico dos recentes ataques, a bancada recebe o professor de Relações Internacionais, José Niemeyer. Logo de início, o especialista classifica a atual escalada como uma "guerra conflagrada e real" ocorrendo no sistema internacional. Ele alerta que o cenário já se configura como uma guerra convencional, onde dois Estados soberanos uniram forças contra um terceiro Estado soberano, o Irã. A chefe da diplomacia da União Europeia, Kaja Kallas, classificou a situação no Irã como "muito perigosa" e confirmou que as autoridades já monitoram cenários para eventuais repatriações de cidadãos europeus que estão em zonas de risco. Como primeira medida de segurança, gigantes da aviação europeia, como Lufthansa e Air France, suspenderam seus voos para a região. O jornalismo da Jovem Pan News recebe o professor de relações internacionais, Danilo Porfírio, para analisar a estratégia militar dos Estados Unidos na escalada do conflito contra o Irã. O especialista afasta o temor de que o mundo presencie um desgaste semelhante ao ocorrido na Guerra do Iraque. O presidente da França, Emmanuel Macron, utilizou as redes sociais para fazer um duro alerta, afirmando que a guerra entre Estados Unidos, Israel e Irã traz "consequências graves para a paz e a segurança internacional". O editor de internacional, Fabrizio Neitzke, detalha os pontos centrais do comunicado de Macron. O presidente francês garantiu que a França está preparada para proteger seus cidadãos, interesses e países parceiros na região. O jornalismo da Jovem Pan News repercute o posicionamento oficial do Brasil diante do agravamento do conflito no Oriente Médio. O governo brasileiro expressou "grave preocupação" com os ataques coordenados pelos Estados Unidos e por Israel contra o território iraniano. No comunicado, o Brasil apela para que todas as partes envolvidas respeitem o direito internacional e exerçam "máxima contenção" para evitar uma escalada ainda maior das hostilidades.

Orbán kom terug op steun voor Oekraïne | Trumps tarievenchaos | Iran bereidt zich voor op oorlog Trump tart het Hooggerechtshof met nieuwe wereldwijde importheffingen en jaagt daarmee markten, bondgenoten en juristen tegen zich in het harnas. Na de vernietiging van een groot deel van zijn eerdere tarieven grijpt hij naar noodbevoegdheden uit 1974, wat juridisch wankel is en maximaal honderdvijftig dagen mag duren. Ondertussen stapelen de problemen zich op: voor zo’n 130 miljard dollar aan onrechtmatige heffingen dreigt te moeten worden terugbetaald en eerdere handelsdeals komen onder spanning te staan. Hongarije blokkeert tegelijk de 90 miljard euro aan EU-begrotingssteun en het twintigste sanctiepakket tegen Rusland, waardoor de Europese Unie beleidsmatig vastloopt. Viktor Orbán koppelt reparatie van de Droeżbapijpleiding aan Oekraïne-steun, tot woede van onder meer Kaja Kallas en Ursula von der Leyen. De druk op Brussel om Hongarije te beteugelen groeit, terwijl Oekraïne het geld snel nodig heeft om de oorlogsinspanningen en de eigen staatsfinanciën overeind te houden. Trump overweegt ondertussen een militaire escalatie richting Iran, waar een mogelijke nucleaire deal wankel is en de Revolutionaire Garde zich voorbereidt op het ergste. In de Situation Room botsen haviken en sceptici over de haalbaarheid van precisiebombardementen, regime change en de risico’s van een regionale oorlog. De Iraanse machtsstructuur met vervangingsscenario’s tot vier lagen diep maakt een snelle omverwerping onwaarschijnlijk, maar verhoogt tegelijk de spanningen in een regio waar ook Israël, de Golfstaten en Europa directe belangen hebben.

Hongarye gaan die Europese Unie se 20ste ronde sanksies teen Rusland verhoed wat vir vandag beplan word en energie, finansiële dienste en handel dek. Die minister van Buitelandse Sake, Peter Szijjarto, sê Hongarye sal nie toelaat dat voortgegaan word met gunstige besluite vir Oekraïne voor hy die olie-oordrag na Hongarye en Slowakye via die Druzhba-pyplyn hervat nie. Die EU se hoof van Buitelandse Beleid, Kaja Kallas, sê sanksies is doeltreffend:

Silicon Bites Ep289 | 2026-02-20 | Brussels drops a “terms of defeat” on Moscow. Extensive, comprehensive and bold. This is the first glimmer of strength and quite uncharacteristically clear. Why have these demands dropped now, and why does Brussels think they have a chance of being obeyed? Could it be that they sense the defeat and collapse of Russia is on the horizon? This is intriguing. Alright — pause the farce of a so-called peace negotiation in Geneva for a second, because Brussels has just slid a document across the table that basically says: “No, actually—Russia doesn't get to keep its overseas garrisons and vassals as a prize for invading its neighbour.”Multiple outlets — drawing on reporting from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty — say EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has circulated an internal EU “discussion paper” setting out what Europe thinks Russia should be forced to concede in any settlement.

Var det ett nytt europeiskt självförtroende som tog plats på scen på säkerhetskonferensen i München? Och hur glad är Orbán över ryggdunk från Rubio? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. USA klarar sig inte utan oss, var ett av budskapen från europeiska ledare på plats i München när den årliga säkerhetskonferensen gick av stapeln i helgen. Den transatlantiska länken är inte på något sätt lagad och Natos kris är inte över. Men är det en ny europeisk Trump-strategi vi såg glimten av på det bayerska lyxhotellet? En viral grimas från Kaja Kallas kanske också var en del av det. Efter säkerhetskonferensen åkte USA:s utrikesminister Marco Rubio vidare till Ungern och Slovakien. I Budapest fick premiärminister Orbán både ryggdunk och amerikanska löften om fördjupat samarbete. Vad betyder stödet från Trump-administrationen för Orbán och Fidész med bara två månader kvar till det ungerska valet i april? Och är EU:s bästa och snabbaste väg framåt nu ett fördjupat samarbete mellan ett mindre antal länder? I Bryssel diskuteras idén alltmer flitigt. Medverkande: Andreas Liljeheden, Brysselkorresponent.

Kaja Kallas, the vice-president of the European Commission, rejected America's assertion, made in a national-defence document last year, that Europe is facing “civilizational erasure”. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Die Europese Unie se hoof van Buitelandse Beleid, Kaja Kallas, het die idee verwerp dat Europa beskawingsuitwissing in die gesig staar. Dit volg op kommentaar deur die Amerikaanse minister van Buitelandse Sake, Marco Rubio, wat sê Washington sal slegs saam met Europa werk indien dit verander om die Amerikaanse leierskap oor massa-migrasie, vryhandel en groter Europese verdedigingsbesteding te aanvaar. Kallas sê Euro-bashing is nou in die mode ten spyte van al die goeie dinge wat Europa eintlik bied:

Auf der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz waren die Beziehungen zwischen den USA und Europa das Top-Thema. Die Hosts Anna Engelke und Stefan Niemann schildern in dieser Sonderfolge von Streitkräfte und Strategien ihre Eindrücke und analysieren die Reden. Am ersten Tag hatte Bundeskanzler Merz sich von der US-Politik unter Präsident Trump abgegrenzt und deutlich gemacht, dass es einen starken europäischen Pfeiler innerhalb der NATO braucht. Nach den harschen Aussagen von US-Vizepräsident Vance im vergangenen Jahr war vor allem die Rede des US-Außenministers Rubio mit Spannung erwartet worden. Dieser würdigte zwar die Geschichte des transatlantischen Bündnisses, sprach aber auch von Fehlern, die gemacht worden seien, und stellte sich klar hinter die Politik von US-Präsident Trump.Über die Rede von Rubio sprechen Tina Hassel und Kai Küstner mit der EU-Außenbeauftragten Kaja Kallas. Sie betont, man wolle weiterhin starke transatlantische Bindungen. Gleichzeitig verweist auch sie auf einen stärkeren europäischen Pfeiler in der NATO. Außerdem äußert sie sich im Interview zur Diskussion über die europäische atomare Abschreckung und den russischen Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine: „Ich will nicht mehr Nuklearwaffen. Im Gegenteil, das könnte sonst eine sehr, sehr gefährliche Welt werden“, so Kallas im Interview. Den meisten Applaus bei der Sicherheitskonferenz hat Präsident Selenskyj bekommen, berichtet Anna. Er bat die westlichen Verbündeten einmal mehr eindringlich um raschere Waffenlieferungen und erinnerte daran, welchen Preis sein Land bisher für den Krieg bezahlt hat.Eine große Rolle spielte bei der Sicherheitskonferenz auch der Iran. Der Sohn des letzten Schahs von Persien, Reza Pahlavi, erklärte, er strebe im Fall eines erfolgreichen Regierungswechsels im Iran keine Führungsrolle an. Pahlavi nahm an einer Demonstration von mehr als 250.000 Exil-Iranern in München teil, die gegen das Mullah-Regime in Teheran protestierten.Lob und Kritik, alles bitte per Mail an streitkraefte@ndr.de Europas neues Selbstbewusstsein auf der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/europa/msc-kallas-eu-usa-102.html Analyse der Rede von US-Außenminister Rubio in München https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/innenpolitik/rubio-rede-sicherheitskonferenz-100.html Alle Folgen von “Streitkräfte und Strategien” https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/podcast2998.html Podcast-Tipp “Bosettis Woche” mit Florian Schroeder http://1.ard.de/extra-3-bosettis-Woche-schroeder-sus

Over this period, central banks have added ~4,500 tonnes of gold, including unreported purchases. At the same time, foreign Treasury holdings have remained unchanged. Gold is redefining the global monetary system. Central banks maintain FX reserves—typically a mix of currencies, bonds, and assets like gold—to stabilize their currencies, manage liquidity, and hedge against economic shocks. U.S. Treasuries have long been the go-to asset because they’re considered ultra-safe, highly liquid, and backed by the world’s dominant reserve currency (the U.S. dollar, which still accounts for about 57% of global reserves). Gold, on the other hand, is a “neutral” asset: it’s not tied to any single government’s policies, can’t be printed at will, and serves as a hedge against inflation, currency debasement, and geopolitical risks.This crossover isn’t just a blip—it’s a structural change driven by several factors: Key Driver Explanation Impact Geopolitical Tensions and Sanctions Events like the Russia-Ukraine war (leading to frozen Russian assets) and U.S. actions (e.g., tariffs, interventions in Venezuela) have eroded trust in dollar-denominated assets. Countries fear their reserves could be seized or devalued overnight. theguardian.com Accelerates “de-dollarization” efforts, especially among BRICS nations (e.g., China, Russia, India), which now buy gold at 3–5 times pre-2022 levels, averaging 60 tons per month. finance.yahoo.com Gold’s share in reserves has doubled to over 25% in the past decade. newsmax.com Rising Gold Prices and Diversification Gold’s price surge (up 70% in 2025 alone) mechanically boosts its reserve value, but central banks are actively adding to holdings rather than selling Treasuries outright. mining.com This reflects a pivot away from U.S. debt amid concerns over America’s $35+ trillion national debt, persistent inflation, and fiscal policies under the Trump administration. fundssociety.com Gold is now the second-largest reserve asset after the dollar (overtaking the euro in 2024), signaling a re-regionalization of global finance where gold absorbs outflows from U.S. bonds. lfde.com The gold and U.S. debt markets are similarly sized (~$25–30 trillion each), making this shift feasible without massive disruptions. Central Bank Strategy Emerging market central banks (e.g., People’s Bank of China, Central Bank of Russia) are prioritizing gold for stability in a multipolar world, while developed banks hold steady. americanhartfordgold.com Net purchases hit 1,000+ tonnes in 2025, with forecasts for similar levels in 2026. gold.org Could push gold prices higher—analysts at Goldman Sachs see $5,400/oz by end-2026, while extreme scenarios (full USD reserve loss) speculate $39,000–$184,000/oz if gold backs global money supply. vaneck.com This isn’t about ditching the dollar entirely but reducing over-reliance.   If trends continue, it could lead to sustained gold demand, higher prices, and a more fragmented international financial landscape.

The bloc’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas said EU foreign ministers took the “decisive step” because “repression cannot go unanswered”. She said ahead of the decision that the move would put the IRGC – a major military, economic and political force in Iran – on the same level as jihadist groups like al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group.

How might this reactionary global influence network compare to the unsuccessful 20th century attempt to create a fascist international or the relative successes of the Mount Pelerin Society later on? Where does an increasingly reactionary Silicon Valley fit in? What is the connection between Trumpism and the burgeoning European post-fascist movement?

2026-01-18 | UPDATES #106 | Popcorn in the Kremlin, as the world wonders whether Trump will order his troops to invade Greenland, a fellow NATO member on the one hand, or invade the U.S. instead – Minneapolis. Is the military to be deployed to support ICE thugs in a crisis manufactured by Trump. Two battalions. On alert and could potentially move within hours. From the 11th Airborne Division — the “Arctic Angels” — based in Alaska, built for extreme cold, rapid force projection and now reportedly queued up for Minnesota. It is winter, but this does seem like overkill. Joking, not joking. This is insanity. A quick question: are they preparing to “restore order” in Minneapolis or just warming up the engines for an Arctic strong-arm play in Greenland? Either scenario is as mad as the other – but what's madder, is how many people are still lining up to ‘sane wash' Trump's weaponised lunacy, or even to support it. The unit trained for the Arctic is being readied for a domestic flashpoint at the exact moment Washington is torching alliance norms over an Arctic territory that belongs to a NATO ally. And Moscow has a front-row seat, watching the geopolitical show unfold with relish.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: Associated Press — Pentagon orders ~1,500 soldiers on standby for possible Minnesota deployment (Jan 18, 2026).

Economy Status of the US Dollar as Global Reserve Currency: USD Share Drops to Lowest since 1994  Central Banks diversify their holdings into dozens of smaller “non-traditional reserve currencies.”  The share of USD-denominated assets held by other central banks dropped to 56.9% of total foreign exchange reserves in Q3, the lowest since 1994, from 57.1% in Q2 and 58.5% in Q1, according to the IMF's new data on Currency Composition of Official Foreign Exchange Reserves. USD-denominated foreign exchange reserves include US Treasury securities, US mortgage-backed securities (MBS), US agency securities, US corporate bonds, and other USD-denominated assets held by central banks other than the Fed. Excluded are any central bank's assets denominated in its own currency, such as the Fed's Treasury securities or the ECB's euro-denominated securities. It's not that foreign central banks dumped US-dollar-denominated assets, such as Treasury securities. They did not. They added a little to their holdings. But they added more assets denominated in other currencies, particularly a gaggle of smaller currencies whose combined share has surged, while central banks' holdings of USD-denominated assets haven't changed much for a decade, and so the percentage share of those USD assets continued to decline.   Central banks' holdings of foreign exchange reserves in all currencies, and expressed in USD, rose to $13.0 trillion in Q3. Top holdings, expressed in USD: USD assets: $7.41 trillion Euro assets (EUR): $2.65 trillion Yen assets (YEN): $0.76 trillion British pound assets (GBP): $0.58 trillion Canadian dollar assets (CAD): $0.35 trillion Australian dollar assets (AUD): $0.27 trillion Chinese renminbi (RMB) assets: $0.25 trillion Source: wolfstreet.com (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:18510697282300316,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-8599-9832"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="https://cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");  https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/2004750391435755846?s=20 https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/2004928015172821228?s=20 https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/2004946780216328590?s=20  Political/Rights https://twitter.com/Patri0tContr0l/status/2004590513182367845?s=20  https://twitter.com/Geiger_Capital/status/2005107085865103608?s=20 ICE: 70% Arrested Had Criminal Ties Roughly 70% of illegal migrants arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the second Trump administration reportedly had been convicted of or faced charges for criminal offenses. New data provided to the Washington Examiner shows the Trump administration arrested about 595,000 illegal immigrants between Jan. 20 and Dec. 11, according to the Department of Homeland Security. ICE said 70%, roughly 416,000, had “criminal convictions or pending criminal charges” in the United States, underscoring President Donald Trump’s promise to prioritize the “worst of the worst” in immigration enforcement. ICE officials stressed that even those without U.S. criminal records can still pose major public safety threats, the agency said, noting many are wanted abroad for violent crimes or have ties to gangs, terrorism, or other serious offenses. “This statistic doesn’t account for those wanted for violent crimes in their home country or another country, INTERPOL notices, human rights abusers, gang members, terrorists, etc. The list goes on,” an ICE spokesperson told the Examiner. Source: newsmax.com   New Files Show Epstein Was ‘Too Useful' for Banks to Drop — Trump Was ‘Too Politically Dangerous' to Keep  The newest Epstein disclosures include deposition testimony that illustrates, in unusually concrete detail, how major financial institutions assessed risk, value, and accountability. The transcript does not add new allegations about Epstein. Instead, it explains why he remained bankable long after his 2008 conviction and why his relationship with major banks survived despite generating almost no traditional revenue. That institutional logic is the same logic that later drove JPMorgan to end its ties with Trump Media, and the contrast between the two cases shows how selectively these standards are applied. In the deposition, Paul Morris—a private banker who handled Epstein's accounts at JPMorgan Chase and later Deutsche Bank—described Epstein's financial profile with unusual precision. Epstein's trading was minimal. His accounts produced limited fees. He was not a high-activity client and did not utilize the investment tools that banks rely on to generate consistent revenue. By every conventional benchmark, he was a low-value account. And yet, the relationship continued. The deposition shows why. Epstein was not retained for his financial performance but for his institutional usefulness. Morris acknowledged that Epstein facilitated introductions to ultra-wealthy individuals that the bank viewed as essential prospects. One example was Leon Black, whom Morris identified as a “priority prospect” because of Black's significant net worth and influence in the investment sector. Epstein introduced the bank to real-estate investor Andrew Farkas and discussed a potential connection involving biotech investor Boris Nikolic, who had ties to Bill Gates. These introductions were specific, documented, and initiated by Epstein, not the bank. This is the key element that many public accounts overlook. Epstein was not being managed as a traditional client. He functioned as a relationship broker inside a system where introductions to power carry more internal value than account-level returns.

The Vice President of the European Commission, Kaja Kallas, sums up the European position: “The decision by the U.S. to impose travel restrictions on European citizens and officials is unacceptable and an attempt to challenge our sovereignty. Europe will keep defending its values — freedom of expression, fair digital rules, and the right to regulate our own space.” The “attempt to challenge our sovereignty” statement is a particular type of hubris when we consider THIS: GREAT BRITAIN (October 2024) – The British Labour Party is sending approximately 100 current and former staff members to the United States to work for Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign in key swing states. [SOURCE – LINKEDIN] Not only did the U.K attempt to challenge our sovereignty, but they also actively worked to influence the outcome of our national election in 2024. It is worth remembering the British intelligence operation, (Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), commonly known as MI6), was at the center of the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy in 2016. The first EU political group to be targeted with the visa bans includes French former EU commissioner Thierry Breton, who was one of the architects of the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA).

TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Trump Tasks Military With an ‘Oil Quarantine' Against Venezuela, as Economic Pressure Is Chosen for Now Over Military Action Venezuela's oil industry under maximum pressure.   And now that the extended holidays are over, the socialist regime will have to deal with the veritable siege imposed by the US and its unprecedented armada. Venezuela is running out of storage space for its oil production since some ships are being seized and many others turned around and left.  Now, it arises that Donald J. Trump has directed US forces to enforce ‘an oil quarantine' against Venezuela for at least the next two months. These moves lead many to think that the Trump team will focus on economic rather than military means to pressure Caracas into ousting Maduro.

Kennedy Jr. said he would cut off Medicare and Medicaid funding to any provider that offers so-called gender-affirming treatment to minors. “Under my leadership, and answering President Trump's call to action, the federal government will do everything in its power to stop unsafe, irreversible practices that put our children at risk,” Kennedy said at the time. The Oregon-led lawsuit claims that the decision “exceeds the Secretary's authority and violates the Administrative Procedure Act and the Medicare and Medicaid statutes.” A total of nineteen blue states are suing the Trump administration in a bid to protect the right to perform child sex changes.

I spent a lot of my life in the Middle East and Central Asia, working closely with foreign contractors and foreign governments to provide support to American military operations. As a US Army officer with a big checkbook courtesy of Uncle Sam, I can't really count the sheer number of times I was offered bribes to award a contract, or falsify records to do things like create larger (fake) headcounts at places like dining facilities, or to just simply be on the take for future illegal requests. Of course I had enough sense to never comply with such requests. Moreover, they were never explicitly structured as “bribes”; instead it was usually along the lines of “Here I have these Rolexes as gifts for you and your wife to show our friendship.” (Unfortunately, too many US officers and NCOs succumbed to this siren song and ended up breaking rocks in Leavenworth.) The weird thing about this to me was that whenever I turned down such an offering, it was treated as a grave insult. I was the one in the wrong, and not the fraudster trying to bribe me. They considered it rude that I was in their country and refused to accept how things got done. After all, why did I not want to help my tribe by helping their tribe? Let me repeat: in these cultures, FRAUD IS NOT EVEN A CONCEPT. There is only what helps your tribe. Such thought processes are so alien to Americans and much of the West. We are raised on the presumption that our institutions are valid, that the rule of law always prevails, and that integrity is universal. We need these presumptions to have working governments and economies, and without those presumptions—without the mental barrier that causes us not to accept outright fraud—our nation would quickly descend into the economic and social hellscape of countries like…. ummm… you know…. SOMALIA! So when we import people en masse from cultures that accept bribery and fraud as routine, acceptable ways to advance one's tribe, we should not be surprised that things like the $8 BILLION fraud schemes of the Somali population in Minnesota happen so easily. Introducing a fraud-based culture based on tribalism into America is like introducing some sort of lethal virus into a population that has no natural immunity. The virus will spread and grow, unchecked, because it is so alien to the host. Similarly, a culture of fraud is anathema to American thinking, and it must be cut out before it consumes the host. So when you see and hear patriotic Americans decrying what is happening in Minnesota or elsewhere, and when they seek deportation of the offenders, it is not “racism,” it is not “bigotry,” it is not “xenophobia”; instead, it is preserving the American tradition of responsible institutions and national integrity. https://twitter.com/MarioNawfal/status/2005262465190223928?s=20 https://twitter.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/2005305530651189719?s=20   exploiting federal programs. Fraud that steals from taxpayers and robs vulnerable children will remain a top FBI priority in Minnesota and nationwide. To date, the FBI dismantled a $250 million fraud scheme that stole federal food aid meant for vulnerable children during COVID. The investigation exposed sham vendors, shell companies, and large-scale money laundering tied to the Feeding Our Future network. The case led to 78 indictments and 57 convictions. Defendants included Abdiwahab Ahmed Mohamud, Ahmed Ali, Hussein Farah, Abdullahe Nur Jesow, Asha Farhan Hassan, Ousman Camara, and Abdirashid Bixi Dool, each charged for roles ranging from wire fraud to money laundering and conspiracy. These criminals didn't just engaged in historic fraud, but tried to subvert justice as well. Abdimajid Mohamed Nur and others were charged for attempting to bribe a juror with $120,000 in cash. Those responsible pleaded guilty and were sentenced, including a 10-year prison term and nearly $48 million in restitution in related cases. The FBI believes this is just the tip of a very large iceberg. We will continue to follow the money and protect children, and this investigation very much remains ongoing. Furthermore, many are also being referred to immigrations officials for possible further denaturalization and deportation proceedings where eligible. https://twitter.com/ScottPresler/status/2004932316926193933?s=20 https://twitter.com/HarmeetKDhillon/status/2004976287270731981?s=20 https://twitter.com/rising_serpent/status/2005080344610177489?s=20  https://twitter.com/amuse/status/2005092720927232198?s=20  “skeptical jurors” in federal cases involving President Trump.

President Trump's Plan https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2004653262491058216?s=20 accomplished what no one else could. When we arrived, taxpayers were about to be on the hook for nearly $5 billion for a new headquarters that wouldn't open until 2035. We scrapped that plan. Instead, we selected the already-existing Reagan Building, saving billions and allowing the transition to begin immediately with required safety and infrastructure upgrades already underway. Once complete, most of the HQ FBI workforce will move in, and the rest are continuing in our ongoing push to put more manpower in the field, where they will remain. This decision puts resources where they belong: defending the homeland, crushing violent crime, and protecting national security. It delivers better tools for today's FBI workforce at a fraction of the cost. The Hoover Building will be shut down permanently.  They Got Her: FBI Caught Hillary Clinton Talking Donations with Foreign Felon on Tape As Hillary Clinton closed in on the presidential nomination in the spring of 2016, FBI field officers advised colleagues at headquarters to press her on the foreign donations flowing to the Clinton Foundation while she steered American foreign policy and whether she had used the charity as a campaign piggy bank. But the FBI HQ in Washington — a city in which the former secretary of state and first lady wields enormous influence — let the trail go cold. FBI New York Assistant Director in Charge Diego Rodriguez advised agents in Washington to ask Clinton several questions about the foundation, which are reproduced in full in documents released to the Senate Judiciary Committee by the FBI and published on Dec. 15. The questions reveal the concerns about foreign bribery that the Clinton Foundation case — codenamed “Cracked Foundation” — had uncovered. Among the evidence available to investigators, according to their questions: A recorded conversation between Clinton and Indian hotel magnate Sant Singh Chatwal in which Clinton discussed donations to the foundation and her remaining 2008 campaign debt. The new documents confirm that the FBI had at one time been “intercepting individuals associated with the Clinton Foundation.” Source: westernjournal.com  John Brennan's Lawfare Lawyers are Revealing More Than They Intend   former CIA Director John Brennan are sending proactive letters to the Federal District Court for the Southern District of Florida {SEE HERE}.  However, some of the information included in the letters intended to be exculpatory is actually damning against their defense position. You have to go deep in the weeds to see it but if you understand the details of the events, the information being revealed by Brennan's lawyers is the opposite of helpful to his case.  As an example, there is a citation included in a footnote of the December 22, 2025, [fn #20 page 6] letter that links to a March 31, 2022, letter sent to John Durham. Here's page 6 of the 2025 letter. Compare the underlined section to the 2022 letter sent to John Durham. In 2025 Brennan is telling the Florida court the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) conclusion was confirmed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in a “very serious review.”  However, in 2022 Brennan told John Durham that Robert Mueller never interviewed him or offered an assessment of the ICA; Mueller just regurgitated it. So, which is it? These contradictions are throughout both of the letters when you compare them side-by-side.  In 2022 former CIA Director John Brennan was trying to escape the Durham review.  In 2025 Brennan is trying to escape a grand jury review. [We are aware that the U.S Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Jason Reding Quiñones, has access to the CTH public library of research into all of these historic events.] There are other citations in the 2022 letter that are certainly worth reviewing because the legally binding statements made by John Brennan at the time have been shown to be false in 2025. Another of the claims in the 2022 letter to John Durham highlights why it was critical for the CIA to assist in the capture and arrest of Julian Assange in 2019.

Energy’s way down. Gasoline is way down.” Over the past two weeks, a series of positive economic reports has shown that inflation is decreasing, with the White House highlighting the latest data while addressing cost-of-living concerns nationwide. According to a Politico poll conducted last month, Americans say they are finding that the costs of groceries, utilities, healthcare, housing, and transportation are too expensive. Trump has been fighting to reframe that, however, blaming Democrats under Biden for driving prices up. He said in the interview, conducted Friday, that “electricity is down. It’s way down.” “When the gasoline goes down, and when the oil and gas go down, the electricity comes down naturally,” he said. “But it’s all coming down. It’s all coming down. It’s coming beautifully.” Source: newsmax.com https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2004696380531503505?s=20   the NG will have quick response troops on standby in every state, the FBI building is being moved to a new location, the war between Russia and Ukraine is coming to an end, and all of Trump's pieces will be in place.
