Vi hjemsøkes av overskifter om at norske skolen er i "krise" og "fritt fall." Stadig får vi beskjeder om at norske elever blir dårligere og dårligere til å lese. Vi har derfor invitert en vaskeekte norsklærer inn i studio for å få en innblikk i hvordan livet er på bakken. Liridonna Qaka forteller oss om hennes reise fra Kosovo til Gjøvik, innom Universitet i Oslo til omsider en norsklærer i Osloskolen. Som lesehest selv forteller Qaka om hvilke grep hun gjør for å vekke leselyst hos sine lever, og hvilken lærer i sin tid åpnet llitteraturens verden for henne. I studio; Liridonna Qaka og Tayyeb Jolani (teknikk).
In der Nacht wurde das Dokument des sogenannten Friedensplans veröffentlicht: Luhansk, Donezk und die Krim sollen zu Russland gehören, die Ukraine soll ihre Armee reduzieren, ein NATO-Beitritt würde ausgeschlossen. Was kann die Ukraine dazu sagen? Prof. Marina Henke hat Antworten. - Mehr Rechte fürs Volk: diese Idee aus dem Parlament soll der Bundesrat prüfen. Es geht um das Instrument einer sogenannten eidgenössischen Volksmotion. In einigen Kantonen gibt es das schon. Aargauer Mitte-Nationalrätin Maya Bally setzt sich für den Vorstoss ein. - Schweizer Soldaten sollen noch länger im Kosovo bei der Friedenssicherung helfen. Der Bundesrat will den Swisscoy-Einsatz um weitere 4 Jahre verlängern. Aktuell sind bis zu 215 Soldatinnen und Soldaten im Kosovo stationiert, der Bundesrat möchte den Bestand um bis zu dreissig Personen erhöhen können, falls sich die Sicherheitslage verschlechtert. Auslandredaktor Janis Fahrländer ordnet ein. - Im westafrikanischen Nigeria sind vor einigen Tagen 25 Schülerinnen entführt worden. Bewaffnete seien in ein Internat eingedrungen, hätten einen Menschen getötet und die Mädchen mitgenommen, teilt die örtliche Polizei mit. Die freischaffende Journalistin Bettina Rühl ordnet ein.

Die Erbschaftssteuer-Initiative dürfte an den Abstimmungen vom 30. November abgelehnt werden, zeigt die neuste SRG-Umfrage. Die Gegner befürchten, dass Wohlhabende nach einer Annahme der Initiative ins Ausland abwandern. Auch bei der Service-citoyen-Initiative zeichnet sich ein Nein ab. Weitere Themen: · In den USA sollen die Akten rundum den verstorbenen Sexual-straftäter Jeffrey Epstein veröffentlicht werden. Beide Parlamentskammern haben einem entsprechenden Gesetzesentwurf zugestimmt. US-Präsident Donald Trump hat angekündigt, das Gesetz unterschreiben zu wollen. · Die Schweizer Fussball-Nationalmannschaft hat sich für die Weltmeisterschaft nächstes Jahr in den USA, Kanada und Mexiko qualifiziert. Die Schweiz hat das letzte Qualifikationsspiel gestern mit einem 1:1 gegen den Kosovo beendet und löst damit das direkte WM-Ticket. · Die Schweiz springt im jährlichen Klimaschutz-Ranking um ganze sieben Plätze nach vorn. Sie schneidet damit deutlich besser ab als beim letzten Mal - aber sie bleibt im Mittelfeld.
Wir haben ein Buch geschrieben – gemeinsam mit Franziska Tschinderle, unserer Expertin für Albanien und Kosovo. Es trägt den Titel „Der Westbalkan im Wartezimmer der EU“ und ihr könnt es für einen Fünfer in der Schriftenreihe der BpB erwerben. Über das Thema des Buches sprechen wir auch in der aktuellen Folge: Sechs Länder, zwei Jahrzehnte Hoffnung – und noch immer kein Einlass: Seit 2003 warten die Staaten des Westbalkans auf ihren EU-Beitritt. Der Prozess schien blockiert, wurde von manchen schon für tot erklärt. Doch mit dem Krieg in der Ukraine hat die Frage nach einer Erweiterung neue Dringlichkeit gewonnen – geopolitisch wie gesellschaftlich. Wo steht die Region im Jahr 2025? Welche Chancen, welche Blockaden und welche Einflüsse prägen heute die Perspektive auf Europa? Und wie sieht die Realität in den Ländern des Westbalkans selbst aus? Wir gehen heute alle sechs Kandidatenländer durch und berichten, wo sie beim EU-Beitritt derzeit stehen.

Danes pa nekaj o aktualnem trenutku v slovenskem žogobrcu. V času, ko to poslušate, se končuje slovenska nogometna avantura s poskusom preboja na Mundial prihodnje leto. Kot ima slovenski žurnalizem v navadi, ob uspehih govorimo o junakih in pravljici, ob neuspehih pa udrihamo z vsem kar gre po ubogih športnikih. Naša oddaja bo vsaj malo odvzela breme z ramen nogometašev, selektorja in Nogometne zveze Slovenije … Zakaj? Ker na nogomet gledamo širše kot običajna javnost.Osredinimo se samo na zadnji poraz, ki so ga mnogi opisali kot sramotnega, v Stožicah proti reprezentanci Kosova. Kdo je kriv, je bilo odgovorjeno že stokrat. Zvezna vrsta, ki je bila luknjičasta in počasna. Selektor, ki ne spravi skupaj ofenzivne taktike, ali napadalci, ki dajo gol vsako četrto tekmo? Po našem svetem prepričanju nihče od naštetih. Največjo krivdo nosi Janez Janša, za njim pa Danilo Türk. Zgodba je zapletena, hkrati pa enostavna. Na predlog Janševe vlade je Slovenija prve dni marca leta 2008 priznala Kosovo kot neodvisno in suvereno državo. Strinjal se je tudi tedanji predsednik Danilo Türk in poslanci so z nekaj izjemami priznanje potrdili. Torej; če takrat Slovenija Kosova ne bi priznala, ne bi mogla prejšnjo soboto proti njemu izgubiti, ker tekme sploh ne bi igrala. Igrati proti državi, ki ne obstaja, je pač nemogoče. Sobotni nogometni poraz je dal prav Sašu Pečetu in Zmagu Jelinčiču, ki sta že leta 2008 opozarjala, da bo priznanje imelo daljnosežne in negativne posledice za našo državo. Njune besede so ob sobotnem porazu z 2 : 0 postale meso, kar le še enkrat več pomeni, da je politični šovinizem tek na dolge proge. Da bi se izognili podobnim blamažam in v pomoč našemu nogometu tako predlagamo, da za božjo voljo nikarte več priznavati novih neodvisnih držav … Da ne bi recimo komu prišlo na misel priznanje Katalonije … Ob trenutnem stanju v naši reprezentanci pa ne moremo biti samozavestni niti pred tekmo z ekipo Palestine, ki jo gostimo v rehabilitacijskem centru Soča. Če dobro premislimo; slovenskemu reprezentančnemu nogometu bi najbolj pomagali, ako prekinemo diplomatske stike z večino svetovnih držav in potem bi, z neigranjem tekem, dosegli kar precejšnje uspehe. Pač po logiki, da če tekme ne igraš, si še vedno uspešnejši od tega, da jo izgubiš! Ob tekmi pa je bilo še nekaj spornih situacij, ki so burile javnost mogoče celo bolj kot poraz sam. Tribune so namreč zasedli kosovski navijači v številu, ki je najbrž preseglo slovenske navijače in žvižgali so Zdravljici. Kar je vsega obsojanja vredno, ampak nekaj je treba vedeti … Pogumni in neustrašni Iliri iz goratega zaledja Jadranskega morja gojijo do nogometa posebno strast. Pa ne le to. Nogomet je postal njihov izvozni izdelek, ki je mogoče celo bolj pogost, kot nastrgano meso v štručki ali pa popularna poletna osvežitev. Hočemo povedati, da nogometaši pod dvoglavim orlom logično zapolnjujejo nogometno reprezentanco republike Albanije, nato republike Kosovo in v veliki meri še reprezentanco Švice. Proti takšni valilnici nogometnih talentov je majhna Slovenija brez moči in ker smo v kvalifikacijah igrali tako s Kosovom kot s Švico, lahko v maniri duhovičenja športnih komentatorjev pristavimo, da je dvoglavi orel pošteno oskubil slovensko kokoš. Pa gremo k izgubljenemu dvoboju na tribunah. Mlačnost in pomanjkanje energije slovenskih navijačev na tribunah je čudovito sovpadalo z mlačnostjo in pomanjkanjem energije slovenskih nogometašev. In poznejše jokanje po družbenih omrežjih, kako so bili gostujoči navijači bolj glasni, bolj zavzeti, z večjimi zastavami in z več strasti, je klavrni navijaški predstavi le nastavilo ogledalo. Na tem mestu pa ne moremo mimo katastrofalne politike Nogometne zveze Slovenije. Groteskna in zdaj sploh ne več prikrita absolutna in popolna centralizacija Slovenije je dosegla in zadušila tudi nogomet. Vztrajanje, da mora reprezentanca igrati tekme v na pol dograjenih Stožicah, ker je pač v onih betonskih temeljih zakopano bistvo slovenstva, je neumno, če že ni skrajno škodljivo. Nacionalne nogometne zveze, tudi tiste velikih in pomembnih reprezentanc, dosledno skrbijo, da nacionalna moštva domače tekme igrajo na različnih prizoriščih po državi. To ni ne neka novost, ne posebna praksa. Gre za osnovno nogometno dostojnost, bi zapisali. Razen slovenske nogometne zveze, ki je tako zaverovana v Ljubljano, kot da si nogometni uradniki ne bi smeli izplačati dnevnice, če bi se podali kam drugam. Recimo v Celje, kjer trenutno gori še zadnji dostojni utrinek slovenskega nogometa. Da o Mariboru, ki je kljub sramotni prodaji domačega kluba še vedno z naskokom največje slovensko nogometno mesto. Vztrajanje z Ljubljano in s Stožicami, kjer poskušajo umetno vzpostaviti čarobnost nekdanjega Bežigrada, je za slovenski nogomet škodljivo prav toliko, kot porazne igre naše nogometne reprezentance.
TO RUSSIA WITH LOVE - FROM EUROPE'S RADICAL RIGHT, AND EX-BREXIT PARTY MEP NATHAN GILL!Nick Cohen and Arthur Snell - the author and ex-diplomat - discuss political corruption and treason - following the sentencing of Nathan Gill, the former Brexit Party MEP and ex-leader of UKIP in Wales. They discuss the deply disturbing case of Gill- convicted of eight counts of bribery, after an investigation by Counter Terrorism Policing uncovered how he received payment in return for making statements which supported the presence of pro-Russian media outlets in Ukraine.Arthur explains the enduring love affair between Putin's Russia and Europe's Radical Right politicians. Gill and others have collaborated with pro-Kremlin politicians to spread anti-Ukrainian propaganda. Nick and Arthur explore the unique aspects of corruption across different countries and highlighted an upcoming trial involving charges of bribery related to pro-Kremlin propaganda activities. The discussion concluded with an examination of the complex relationship between the radical right in Western countries and Russian President Vladimir Putin.Russian Influence in European PoliticsArthur explains the widespread pro-Russian sentiment among far-right European politicians, noting examples like Farage's admiration for Putin and Tice's connection to a Russian financier. He emphasises that while Nathan Gill's influence was limited, his propaganda echoed broader Russian efforts to insert pro-Russian narratives into mainstream media Nick highlights how Russian disinformation, amplified through social media and media outlets, can shape public opinion, referencing instances like Nigel Farage's paid appearances on Russia Today, the Putin propaganda channel now banned from UK airwaves. Both Arthur and Nick agree about the reluctance of British authorities to investigate Russian interference, particularly in the context of Brexit, due to political sensitivities.Read all about itArthur Snell's substack column is Not all doom & his regular inciteful podcast is Behind the Lines.

In der 316. Ausgabe der «Dritten Halbzeit» geht es um die WM-Qualifikation des Schweizer WM-Teams – obwohl es noch nicht zu 100 Prozent garantiert ist. Aber es müsste schon mit höheren Kräften zugehen, damit das Team von Murat Yakin nach dem 4:1 gegen Schweden am Dienstag in Pristina 0:6 oder höher verliert. Stattdessen konzentrieren wir uns eher darauf, was die sechste WM-Teilnahme in Folge für eine Nation wie die Schweiz bedeutet. Wie gross der Anteil von Captain Granit Xhaka ist. Und welche Spieler beim Sieg in Genf besonders überzeugt haben.Aber auch der FC Zürich ist in der Länderspielpause Thema. Dennis Hediger bleibt bis zum Ende des Jahres Interimstrainer des FCZ und wir spekulieren: Ist es ein Sieg von Sportchef Milos Malenovic, dass „sein” Trainer weiterhin im Amt ist? Und wir fragen uns, welcher Kandidat in der letzten Woche bei Ancillo Canepa im Büro sass – und am Ende doch nicht Trainer der Zürcher geworden ist.Die Themen:00:00 Werbung00:30 Intro03:30 Die Schweiz kann die Tickets buchen07:55 Sechs WM-Endrunden in Folge18:45 Das 4:1 gegen Schweden30:14 Superjoker Johan Manzambi35:28 Embolo überholt Chapuisat40:33 Was Okafor von Elvedi lernen kann47:42 Hediger bleibt FCZ-Trainer In der Dritten Halbzeit wird über den Schweizer Fussball diskutiert.

Anti-Turk protests in Montenegro have added to rising tensions between Serbia and Turkey. The unrest was set off by anger over Ankara's sale of weapons to Kosovo, and growing fears of Turkish influence in the Balkans. “Turks out!” shouted protesters as they marched through Podgorica, the Montenegrin capital. Several Turkish-owned businesses, among the country's largest investors, were ransacked during last month's violence. The clashes were sparked by a knife attack on a Montenegrin citizen by Turkish nationals. After the unrest, Montenegro imposed visa requirements on Turkish visitors. Some opposition parties accused Serbia of stoking the protests, pointing to rising friction between Belgrade and Ankara over the arms sale to Kosovo. “There are those accusing the Serbian region of being behind it,” Vuk Vuksanovic, of the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy, told RFI. “Although I have seen no material evidence.” Widening rift While Serbia has not commented on the accusations, it has the capacity to incite such unrest given its strong influence in Montenegro, Vuksanovic said. “The drama involving Montenegro has built up to this difficult atmosphere in Serbian-Turkish relations,” he said. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic last month accused Turkey of trying to resurrect the Ottoman Empire through the sale of sophisticated drones to Kosovo, which broke away from Serbia in 1999. Analysts say the weapons deal could shift the balance of power in the region. “There are the kamikaze drones, which are posing a threat, and there are also strategic drones likely to be used to secure the border itself and more as a show of force,” said Zoran Ivanov, a security expert from the Institute of National History in Skopje, North Macedonia. “So it poses a direct security threat to Serbia and Serbia has to react to this.” Criminalising identity: Turkey's LGBTQI+ community under threat Changing alliances The tension marks a sharp turnaround. In recent years, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had built a close relationship with his Serbian counterpart, and Turkish companies became major investors in Serbia. However the arms sale to Kosovo reveals a shift in Turkey's relations with Belgrade, explained international relations professor Huseyin Bagci, of Ankara's Middle East Technical University. “Turkey has more leverage than Serbia,” Bagci said. “The relations between Turkey and Serbia, we understand each other, but it is not as happy as before.” Analysts say the shift reflects Ankara's wider ambitions in the Balkans. “Ankara is trying to increase its influence and will do it,” said Bagci, adding that Turkey's historical and cultural ties to the region run deep – with millions of families tracing their roots back to the former Ottoman territories. “The Ottoman Empire was a Balkan empire. The Turkish influence is getting bigger, and of course, they don't like it. But Turkey is the big brother in the Balkans.” Turkish Cypriot vote could force shift in Erdogan's approach to divided island Turkish expansion Last month, Turkish forces took command of NATO's KFOR peacekeeping mission in Kosovo. At the same time, Turkish businesses continued expanding across the region. “They're expanding their markets; they're expanding their capabilities; they're expanding their influence,” Ivanov said. Turkey's renewed focus on the Balkans was unsurprising given historical ties, he added. “That's natural for the Turks to come to invest in the region and now looking for their old roots." However its expanding presence might feel like history repeating itself, Ivanov warned. As “a man who is coming from the Balkans,” he said, he sees “the Turks coming as they were in history” – a reminder of a past many in the region have not forgotten. The European Union has praised Ankara for supporting peacekeeping operations and economic aid in Kosovo. But analysts caution that Turkey must avoid alienating its Balkan neighbours. “Ankara also has to be mindful of its own limitations of its own Balkan ambitions," Vuksanovic. said. "Because otherwise it can push majority Christian Orthodox nations like the Serbs, Greeks and Bulgarians to work against the Turks if the Turks are perceived to be too provocative or aggressive.”

This was a fascinating conversation with Hrund Gunnsteinsdóttir whose TED talk, documentary and book have opened our eyes to a new concept of what intuition is, and how and why we need to plug into its potential. She shares her personal story of working at the UN after the war in Kosovo and the disconnection she felt along with her journey back to the Icelandic concept of Innseai. In this episode we discuss parenting with innsaei: intuitive listening, how to model emotional openness, the need to create space for stillness, foster creative freedom and connecting our kids and ourselves with nature.

Alessio Vailati"La mappa del dolore"Riflessioni in versi su trenta fotografie vincitrici del Premio Pulitzer.il ramo e la foglia edizioniwww.ilramoelafogliaedizioni.itLa mappa del dolore è un libro di poesie a tema civile che ripercorre importanti vicende storiche dalla Seconda guerra mondiale ai giorni nostri, affrontando argomenti come la guerra, la povertà, la discriminazione razziale, l'emarginazione, i flussi migratori eccetera.Si tratta pertanto di un libro attuale imperniato sulle immagini icastiche di trenta tragici avvenimenti che hanno segnato la Storia, immortalati in altrettante fotografie vincitrici del Premio Pulitzer. Pur essendo scaturiti dalle fotografie i testi mantengono una certa autonomia e si occupano del lato umano delle vicende narrate. Non si tratta di testi con giudizi di natura politica ed economica quanto piuttosto di un lungo racconto che getta lo sguardo sulla disumanità di quanto ci accade attorno, pur non toccandoci direttamente.Il titolo del libro sta a indicare proprio questo percorso, quasi un viaggio nell'inferno dantesco, così tristemente reale e documentato. Le vicende (le immagini) trattate sono trenta e il loro andamento è scandito attraverso un testo guida che si apre in ulteriori sei testi.Riportiamo i titoli delle trenta poesie contenute nella raccolta di Alessio Vailati, La mappa del dolore - riflessioni in versi su trenta fotografie vincitrici del Premio Pulitzer (in libreria dal 19 settembre 2025); in corrispondenza di ogni titolo si trova il link a una pagina esterna che mostra la fotografia a cui l'autore si è ispirato. I titoli delle poesie non sono gli stessi delle fotografie a cui si ispirano. In corrispondenza dei titoli si trovano i nomi dei fotografi e l'anno in cui hanno vinto il Premio Pulitzer con le loro fotografie.1. Il ritorno di un eroe, Earle Bunker 19442.

Sometimes the hardest battles aren't fought overseas. They're fought in living rooms, late at night, when the weight of war refuses to let go. In this powerful conversation, Ashley Sylvester shares the story of her husband, Army Sergeant Jason Sylvester, whose deployments to Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan left invisible scars that followed him home. Ashley walks us through the subtle shifts she saw over time: sleepless nights, changes in mood, outbursts, and moments when Jason seemed present in body but gone in spirit. She describes the impossible balancing act of protecting their children, seeking help inside and outside the military system, and watching the walls close in. Her honesty shines a light on the barriers veterans face, the threat of losing security clearances, stigma, and fear of losing careers, which keep too many from getting the support they need. Most of all, she shares the heartbreak of losing Jason to suicide, and why recognizing the warning signs and having hard conversations could make all the difference for another family. This episode covers a difficult topic, but it's also a call to action: don't ignore what you see, don't wait, and don't give up on finding the help that's out there.

Mike Hayes is a former U.S. Navy SEAL officer who served 20 years in Special Operations. A graduate of one of the toughest SEAL training classes—one of only 19 out of 120 to complete—he deployed throughout South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia, including in Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Hayes commanded SEAL Team TWO and led a 2,000-person Special Operations Task Force in southeastern Afghanistan. He also served as Deputy Commander for all Special Operations in Anbar Province, Iraq, and was selected as a White House Fellow (’08–’09). At the National Security Council, he served as Director for Defense Policy and Strategy, where he helped draft a proposed START Treaty and led the White House response to the Maersk Alabama hijacking. His decorations include the Bronze Star for Valor in Iraq, a Bronze Star for Afghanistan, and the Defense Superior Service Medal. After retiring from the Navy, Hayes transitioned to senior leadership roles in technology and investment, and authored Never Enough: A Navy SEAL Commander on Living a Life of Excellence, Agility, and Meaning, donating all profits to support Gold Star families. He lives with his wife, Anita, and their daughter, Maeson, and most enjoys spending time and laughing with them when not mentoring others or speaking about leadership.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
#187 - A childhood marked by chaos. A career built on service. And a second act shaped by faith, language, and a blank page. Jake sits down with Ken Webb to trace a life that refuses to settle for mere existence—from praying his way through a turbulent home to leading across Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond.Ken opens up about how his grandparents' steady love and a lived-in faith helped him endure abuse and instability, and how those early lessons informed three decades in the Army Reserve. We walk through his pivot from military police to intelligence, the realities of early Iraq deployments, the nuance of embassy duty in Baghdad, and the complexity of retiring when your identity is wrapped in a uniform. Ken shares why he turned down comfortable contracts, chose Miraflores in Lima, and made Spanish class and the gym his new daily discipline.We also dig into his debut novel, Trapped in Deception, a work of fiction threaded with real messages and real emotions. The story explores gaslighting, misplaced trust, and moral courage through a protagonist who—like Ken—keeps moving forward even when life tilts sideways. Along the way, Ken reframes adventure: not cliffs and bravado, but consistent growth, honest discomfort, and choices that expand your life. If you're wrestling with what comes after a big chapter ends, or wondering how to trade drift for direction, this conversation offers practical hope and hard-won insight.Listen, share with a friend who needs courage today, and if the story speaks to you, leave a quick rating or review.

Welcome to Unpacked, Five Questions, a podcast that takes you behind the scenes of one great travel story. In this episode, host Katherine LaGrave sits down with photographer Kari Medig, who has spent 15 years traveling the world documenting ski culture—from Austria's iconic Hahnenkamm downhill to landlocked Lesotho. But one region has captivated him above all others: the Balkans. Kari shares his journey through Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo, revealing why these mountains—many higher than the Swiss Alps—offer something beyond world-class skiing. He discusses the unbelievable hospitality that keeps bringing him back, his unique analog photography approach using a Hasselblad film camera, and why he seeks out parking lot encounters as much as pristine powder. From a chance morning photo of a ski rental owner in her bathrobe to reconnecting with a Bulgarian café owner a decade later, Kari's stories illuminate how skiing becomes a lens for experiencing culture in its most authentic form. On this episode you'll learn: Why the Balkans' mountains are higher than many expect—and vastly underdeveloped for skiing How "Midwest Kind" isn't the only form of extraordinary hospitality—the Balkans surprised Kari with their warmth Why Kari shot his Balkan trips on film with a single Hasselblad camera instead of modern digital equipment How parking lots and ski rental shops become unexpected locations for the most meaningful photographs What makes skiing a unique way to participate in—not just observe—a culture Don't miss these moments: [02:00] Kari's first trip to Bulgaria in 2004 and his amazement at the scope of the mountains [03:00] The café owner who Kari reconnected with a decade later [05:00] Why Kari uses a Hasselblad film camera for his nostalgic, muted aesthetic [08:00] The ski hill in Bulgaria and why parking lots are Kari's favorite shooting locations [10:00] The last-morning photo of a ski rental owner in her bathrobe that captured the entire trip [12:00] Why people always ask Kari—who grew up skiing in Canada—"Why are you here? You have the best skiing in the world" Resources Explore Kari's complete Afar photo essay about skiing in the Balkans Follow Kari Medig for more ski culture photography Stay Connected Sign up for our podcast newsletter, Behind the Mic, where we share upcoming news and behind-the-scenes details of each episode.

Donald Trump has pulled off one of the greatest feats of his presidency by securing a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas—just nine months into his return to the presidency. From Iran and Israel to Ethiopia and Egypt, Kosovo and Serbia, and Pakistan and India, Trump approaches foreign policy through direct negotiation, economic leverage, and personal diplomacy. Victor Davis Hanson explores why this model succeeded where others failed, and how it could soon shape Trump's approach to Ukraine on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words." “Why is this happening now, though? It didn't happen under Biden, a settlement in the Middle East. It did not happen under Trump's first administration. It did not happen under Obama. It did not happen under George Bush. There were about 10 things that had to happen. All these intricate pieces in this puzzle, the pieces of the peace, all fell into success in a way that made it possible. What were they? “Donald Trump created personal relationships in the Arab community. He did not insult the Saudis, as Joe Biden had done during the 2020 campaigns. He did not alienate the Arab community. He did not alienate Benjamin Netanyahu. He gave them concessions. He praised them. He created personal relationships. He did trade deals. He used tariffs as carrot and a stick, pressures and leverages.”

What if something as simple as a balloon could change your life? This week I sit down with Mia Hamza from Balloon Thrill, a former teacher from Kosovo who turned her creative spark into a thriving six-figure event décor and education business—all in just a few years after moving to the U.S.Mia shares how she went from teaching English and hosting a TV show overseas to starting from zero in a new country—no money, no car, and no clear direction—and building a business that now empowers others around the world.In this episode:How to start a business with little to no capital (and why small ideas can grow into big ones)Why mindset is the real difference between “just balloons” and a six-figure brandThe value of mentorship and online learning when scaling a creative businessHow Mia transitioned from in-person décor to online education with hundreds of global studentsWhy balloon décor is one of the most flexible, family-friendly, and profitable creative businesses todayAction Steps:Take the first step — If you've been thinking about something for too long, do it within 24 hours.Go all in — Once you commit, give it your full energy instead of starting small out of fear.Learn from others — Find mentors or peers already succeeding in your field and model what works.Connect with Mia:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balloonthrill/Online Balloon Masterclass: https://www.thrillmakersmasterclass.com/start-1?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacMwuZyk64vY0BxWsZAZnmBxJgpj3W9Y4KybTHbyqYME6DkGgda_tzEjCAkyA_aem_zXQeTrJ2Ogr6vIQBTCHXyQConnect with me, Hayleigh Hayhurst:Steal my Podcast Launch Checklist for free: https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com/checklistWebsite: https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EspressoPodcastProductionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/espressopodcastproduction/Music: John Kiernan. www.johnkiernanmusic.comProduced by Espresso Podcast Production: https://www.espressopodcastproduction.com/Join the Conversation: What did you think of this episode?

Die Schweizer Nationalmannschaft muss sich noch gedulden. Am Montagabend verpasste sie die verfrühte Qualifikation für die WM 2026 in Nordamerika. Die Partie in Ljubljana zeigte auf, was passiert, wenn sich ein Gegner genauestens auf die Schweiz einstellt und Spielern wie Ruben Vargas oder Dan Ndoye auf den Füssen herumsteht. Aber es überwiegt das Positive: Auch in der vierten Partie spielt die Schweiz zu Null. Nun geht es im November weiter, mit Spielen gegen Schweden in Genf und am Ende allenfalls mit einer Finalissima in Kosovo. Wir schauen nun aber zuerst einmal zurück auf die Spiele in Slowenien und Schweden. Was zeichnet diese Schweiz aus? Wer sind die grossen Gewinner? Und steht nach der allfälligen WM-Teilnahme im Sommer etwa ein grosser Umbruch an? Das und vieles mehr in der 311. Folge der Dritten Halbzeit.Host: Marcel RohnerGäste: Dominic Wuillemin und Thomas SchifferleProduzent: Noah Fend In der Dritten Halbzeit wird über den Schweizer Fussball diskutiert.

This book examines why the instrument has such a hold on leaders' imaginations and rhetoric despite its patchy record in practice. Examining detailed historical case studies from conflicts in Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo, South Sudan/Darfur, Libya and Syria, The No-Fly Zone in US Foreign Policy: The Curious Persistence of a Flawed Instrument (Bristol University Press, 2025) by Dr. Gustav Meibauer shows how debates about, and actual use of, no-fly zones in US foreign policy have not been primarily about managing conflict or protecting civilians. Instead, the focus is often on navigating contradictory international and domestic political incentives and constraints, leading to US intervention in an ill-considered and incremental manner. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Examining detailed historical case studies from conflicts in Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo, South Sudan/Darfur, Libya and Syria, The No-Fly Zone in US Foreign Policy: The Curious Persistence of a Flawed Instrument (Bristol University Press, 2025) by Dr. Gustav Meibauer shows how debates about, and actual use of, no-fly zones in US foreign policy have not been primarily about managing conflict or protecting civilians. Instead, the focus is often on navigating contradictory international and domestic political incentives and constraints, leading to US intervention in an ill-considered and incremental manner. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Host Faust Checho exposes how Bill Clinton's rise from Arkansas governor to president completed the Bush–Clinton blueprint: turning the Boys on the Tracks cover-up, Whitewater, Waco, and the Oklahoma City bombing into milestones in the creation of America's modern security state.This is Part 5, the finale of Faust's explosive series exposing how the Bush–Clinton machine evolved from covert wars to total domestic control.As the Bush–Clinton dynasty tightened its grip, Arkansas became the prototype for covert power — a proving ground where autopsies were altered, investigators silenced, and scandals rebranded as reform. In this explosive finale of the Bush-Clinton corruption series, Faust traces how scandal in Saline County evolved into the Clinton Body Count, how REX 84 and Operation Night Train foreshadowed a domestic war machine, and how policies like the 1994 Crime Bill, NAFTA, and the Telecommunications Act transformed America into the surveillance state we live in today. From Mena to the Rose Law Firm, from Haiti to Kosovo, the same networks of money, drugs, and blackmail that fueled Iran-Contra were refined under Bill Clinton — and exported worldwide.Topics in this episode include:
