In der 306. Ausgabe der «Dritten Halbzeit» geht es um das Schweizer Nationalteam und die Spiele gegen Kosovo und Slowenien. Mit zwei Siegen ist das Team von Murat Yakin perfekt in die WM-Qualifikation gestartet und hat dabei eine neue Entschlossenheit und Seriosität an den Tag gelegt. In beiden Partien war die Schweiz das bessere Team und hat insgesamt sieben Tore erzielt.Einer der grossen Gewinner ist Stürmer Breel Embolo, der nun fünfmal in Folge mindestens ein Tor geschossen hat. Das ist seit 20 Jahren und einem gewissen Alex Frei keinem Schweizer Nationalspieler mehr gelungen. Und Embolo fühlt sich geehrt, dass man ihn nach seinen jüngsten Leistungen mit – wie er selbst sagt – «Herrn Frei” vergleicht.Die Themen:00:00 Intro07:07 Die Schweizer Siege21:27 Was ist in den USA passiert?29:02 Hat Yakin alles richtig gemacht?36:54 Embolo und «Herr Frei»42:17 Widmer, Akanji und Elvedi50:58 Wer drängt ins Team?

Det har varit fotbollsmatcher vi längtat efter med ett i stort sett helt nytt landslag. Ett VM-kval med ett relativt enkelt motstånd för de svenska herrarna. Många hoppades också på en rejäl målfest. Men det har blivit helt tvärtom. Förlust mot Kosovo och oavgjort mot Slovenien är resultatet efter två matcher. Matchen mot Kosovo har redan beskrivits som en av de sämsta någonsin i svensk fotbollshistoria. Varför klappade Sverige ihop? Vad måste Jon Dahl Tomasson göra framåt och kan vi fortfarande ta oss till VM? Gäst: Linn Nordström, reporter på Sportbladet. Programledare och producent: Jenny Ågren. Klipp från: Sveriges Radio, Radiosporten. Kontakt: podcast@aftonbladet.se.

Beskrivning: Vad fan var det som hände? Ska Jon Dahl Tomasson få sparken nu? Är VM-kvalet kört? Och tror spelarna ens på det här? Med: Therese Strömberg och Linus Petersson

Sverige har rest till Kosovo för att ta revansch efter den snöpliga 2-2-matchen i Slovenien. Är det rätt att fortsätta ge Robin Olsen chansen? Har inte Alexander Isak slagit igenom i Kosovo? Och är det läge att börja bli stressade nu? Med: Therese Strömberg och Linus Petersson

Sverige kryssade mot Slovenien och i kväll väntar Kosovo. Joel Besseling och Robert Laul pratar om känslostormarna efter det onödiga 2–2-målet, om Fredrik Ljungbergs TV-skärmskritik och varför man får räkna med svaga försvarsageranden.Dessutom diskuteras det om hur ”likeable” det här landslaget kan bli och hur stort Sverige ska besegra Kosovo. Och så – förstås – en ny rövarhistoria från Robert.Ansvarig utgivare: Christofer Ahlqvist00:00 Start02:27 Nedsnack av Slovenien-matchen12:16 Är landslaget likeable?21:51 Kosovo-matchen24:23 Det talar för att Sverige går till VM28:32 Roberts rövarhistorier Hosted on Acast.

With Eliot traveling, Eric welcomes Stephan Kieninger, author of Securing Peace in Europe: Strobe Talbott, NATO and Russia After the Cold War. They discuss the role of Strobe Talbott, a close Clinton confidante and Deputy Secretary of State, in crafting Clinton's strategy for building a “Europe whole and free” after the collapse of the Soviet Union. They cover U.S. efforts to stabilize Russia's move toward a free market and democracy in the 1990s, the negotiation of the Budapest Memorandum, which led to the return of Soviet nuclear weapons left on Ukrainian soil after the breakup of the USSR, and the Bosnia crisis, including Talbott's part in bringing Richard Holbrooke to lead its resolution. They examine at length Talbott's strategy for enlarging NATO at the 1997 Madrid Summit while also negotiating a NATO-Russia agreement, offering Russia a voice, but not a veto, in European security. They close their conversation by considering the Clinton Administration's role in supporting Russian reform efforts during the 1998 economic meltdown, the souring effect of the war in Kosovo on NATO-Russia relations, and the rise of Vladimir Putin.

Seamus Murphy is an Irish photographer and filmmaker who has spent decades documenting life in some of the world's most challenging places—from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan to Nigeria's Boko Haram territories. Having left recession-era Ireland in the 1980s to teach himself photography in American darkrooms, Murphy has become that rare artist who moves seamlessly between conflict zones and recording studios, creating books of Afghan women's poetry while directing music videos that anticipated Brexit. Tyler and Seamus discuss the optimistic case for Afghanistan, his biggest fear when visiting any conflict zone, how photography has shaped perceptions of Afghanistan, why Russia reminded him of pre-Celtic Tiger Ireland, how the Catholic Church's influence collapsed so suddenly in Ireland, why he left Ireland in the 1980s, what shapes Americans impression of Ireland, living part-time in Kolkata and what the future holds for that “slightly dying” but culturally vibrant city, his near-death encounters with Boko Haram in Nigeria, the visual similarities between Michigan and Russia, working with PJ Harvey on Let England Shake and their travels to Kosovo and Afghanistan together, his upcoming film about an Afghan family he's documented for thirty years, and more.

Vučić najavio moguću nabavku oružja od Kine, i optužio susjede da prave vojni savez protiv Srbije. Dan nakon što je Republika Srpska dobila neustavnu Vladu, Izborna komisija tog bh. eniteta odbila da učestvuje u sprovođenju predsjedničkih izbora 23.novembra. Kako nasilni ekstremizam pogađa Kosovo?

Unter der Woche qualifizierte sich YB für die Europa League, dort spielt diese Saison auch der FCB, der am Mittwoch mit einem 0:2 gegen Kopenhagen die Champions League verpasste. Vielleicht macht das für den Schweizer Meister aber sogar Sinn. Nun wird sich zeigen, was auf dem Transfermarkt noch passiert.Nicht langweilig wird es derzeit um den FC St. Gallen, in Lausanne gerät Trainer Enrico Massen mit seinem Gegenüber Peter Zeidler aneinander. Zudem schauen wir nach Winterthur, wo sich Milos Malenovic und Ancillo Canepa gleich zu Mitchell van der Gaag auf die Bank setzen. Und nach Thun, wo still und leise ein Spitzenreiter geformt wurde.Im Fokus steht auch das Schweizer Nationalteam, das am Freitag gegen Kosovo in die Qualifikation für die WM 2026 startet. Besonders brisant im Vorfeld: Leon Avdullahu entschied sich letzte Woche für einen Verbandswechsel und wird im St.-Jakob-Park Gegner der Schweizer sein. Albian Hajdari könnte folgen.

La Swisscoy au Kosovo reste l'engagement le plus important de l'armée suisse pour la promotion de la paix. En ce 1er août 2021, c'est sous le soleil de plomb du Kosovo que les volontaires écoutent les discours de leur chef, de l'ambassadeur et du plus haut gradé de l'armée suisse, le commandant de corps Laurent Michaud, venu spécialement de Suisse. Depuis 1999, les uniformes suisses font partie du paysage kosovar. Intégrés dans la KFOR, la force armée multinationale mise en œuvre par l'OTAN au Kosovo, les militaires suisses rejoignent pour une durée de six mois les contingents de la Swisscoy, qui patrouillent le pays et veillent au maintien de la paix.

Kenneth Webb has lived several lifetimes in one. He spent 33 years in the U.S. Army, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, with combat deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kosovo. He knows what it means to lead under fire and carry the unseen weight of command—but his toughest battles began long before the military, growing up in a home marked by trauma and chaos.Now retired from both the Army and American Airlines, Ken has chosen a different fight: rebuilding his life on his own terms. Living in Peru, he's writing his first psychological thriller, Trapped in Deception—a raw story shaped by betrayal, manipulation, and emotional warfare.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHR2DxkWSMABecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

In this gripping second part of Episode 254 of the Mike Drop podcast, host Mike Ritland sits down with former Green Beret Mark Gianconia to explore his extraordinary career in special operations. Unlike many post-9/11 operators, Mark's journey began in Kosovo, working alongside Russian forces in a vastly different operational landscape. Returning just before the 9/11 attacks, Mark shares his visceral reaction to the tragedy and how it propelled his unit into action. This episode takes you deep into his covert missions in Iraq, including the daring Advanced Force Operations (AFO) infil via rental cars from Turkey and the intense Operation Viking Hammer against terrorist strongholds like Ansar al-Islam. Expect raw, firsthand accounts of unconventional warfare, coordination with Kurdish allies, and the chaos of combat in the early days of the Iraq War. From dodging mortar fire to orchestrating airstrikes, Mark's stories offer a vivid window into the high-stakes world of special forces during a pivotal moment in history.

Zi de jocuri europene pentru FCSB, CFR și Universitatea. Campioana visează din nou la Europa League dar trebuie să treacă pe Arena Națională de Aberdeen cu care a terminat la egalitate, 2-2, în Scoția. În Conference League, vicecampioana are o misune imposibilă acasă după umilința din Suedia, iar echipa din Craiova e favorită la calificare la domiciliu în fața turcilor de la Bașakșehir, pe care a învins-o în tur, scor 2-1. Tudor Furdui analizează șansele celor 3 echipe românești. Calificarea FCSB-ului în faza principală a Europa League se hotărăște diseară pe Arena Națională, care va fi luată cu asalt de fanii campioanei. În tur, bucureștenii au reușit la Aberdeen doar un rezultat de egalitate, după ce au condus cu 2 la 0. Un meci care a semănat cu derby-ul cu Rapid, de acum 3 săptămâni. Început bun, după care delăsare totală. De altfel, în campionat, FCSB nu mai sperie pe nimeni. A pierdut pentru a treia oară consecutiv acasă, ceea ce nu s-a mai întâmplat de 10 ani, cu un categoric 0 la 2 în fața nou-promovatei FC Argeș, și a ajuns la patru înfrângeri în șapte etape, ocupând abia locul 13 în clasament. În Europa, campioana României a alternat meciurile bune, de exemplu cele împotriva campioanei din Kosovo, cu cele slabe, de exemplu înfrângerea din Andorra sau dubla cu campioana Macedoniei de Nord. Cu toate acestea, patronul Gigi Becali este sigur că FCSB va trece de Aberdeen și va ajunge în grupa principală de Europa League, la fel ca în sezonul trecut. E scor de calificare și nu e neapărat scorul, e diferența de valoare. Adică noi avem jucători mai valoroși, ei au niște jucători mai muncitori. Nu știu, probabil au metode de antrenament, probabil au alimentație, farmacie,  cine știe? Fotbalul nu mai e numai pe alergat. Adică alergatul rezolvă mult, dar trebuie și tehnic. O să ne calificăm. Diferența de goluri nu va fi, că nu e chiar mare diferența, pentru că noi zicem că marcăm.  Eu cred în calificare. Și atacantul Florin Tănase spune că, deși în competiția internă FCSB este într-o perioadă mai puțin bună, în cupele europene echipa se mobilizează altfel și poate obține calificarea. Dacă vom fi bine noi și vom juca cu aceeași determinare cum am jucat acolo la ei, eu cred că avem șanse mari să ne calificăm, plus că avem avantajul suporterilor, care este unul foarte mare. O misiune imposibilă are CFR în returul cu Hacken, după umilința 2 la 7 de pe terenul sintetic din Suedia, care a dus la demisia lui Dan Petrescu. Echipa nu și-a revenit nici în campionat, unde se află acum pe loc de baraj. În deplasarea de la Galați a pierdut lamentabil 1 la 4 în fața Oțelului, după ce apărarea a făcut gafe de cascadorii râsului la două dintre reușitele gălățenilor. După înfrângere, veteranul Mario Camora, cel mai vechi component al echipei, a recunoscut că este cea mai grea perioadă de când este la Cluj. E rușinos ce facem. Și dacă nu ne trezim, la finalul sezonului, ne vom lupta la retrogradare. E ce mai umilitoare perioadă de când sunt  la CFR. Acum clujenii au un nou antrenor. Italianul Andrea Mandorlini a revenit în Gruia, dar înfrângerea din tur, din Suedia, atârnă greu, iar diferența de cinci goluri pare imposibil de surmontat. În fine, Universitatea Craiova are prima șansă să se califice în grupa principală de Conference League, după victoria din Turcia 2 la 1, cu echipa de suflet a președintelui Erdogan, Bașakșehir. Craiova are o evoluție aproape perfectă și în campionat, unde este lider, cu șase victorii din șapte posibile. Calificarea nu este încă obținută. Echipa turcă poate crea surpriza. O spune chiar antrenorul Mirel Rădoi, care le cere suporterilor să fie trup și suflet alături de echipă, chiar și în momentele mai puțin bune. Sper ca joi seara să ne calificăm. Cred că toată lumea trebuie să fim în momentele astea și joi să fim uniți. O singură parte din acest tot unitar, dacă nu este lângă noi, vom suferi. Iar dacă vom începe să suferim cu o echipă foarte bună, așa cum cum este Bașakșehir, vom vom avea mari probleme. Sper ca suporterii să fie alături de echipă și să aibă mai multă răbdare. Și fundașul oltenilor, Vasile Mogoș, vrea un stadion arhiplin diseară. Trebuie nu doar 11 jucători, nu 29 de jucători, trebuie să fie 30.000 de oameni, pentru că nu cred că-i destul doar echipa. Cred că trebuie să fie tot orașul. Și Alexandru Crețu, autorul unui gol în ultima partidă de campionat cu Petrolul, își chema toți fanii la stadion. Cu toții știm că e un meci foarte important. Am scos un rezultat foarte bun în Turcia. Ne așteptăm ca stadionul să vină să fie full și ei să ne susțină necondiționat. Și noi vom lupta pentru ei. Nu trebuie să schimbăm absolut nimic din ce am făcut la ei și cred eu că la final vom ieși calificați.

SummaryIn this discussion, Nick Cohen and former diplomat Arthur Snell explore the complex relationship between Donald Trump and Russia, examining evidence suggesting Trump may be serving Russian interests either knowingly or unwittingly. They analyze Christopher Steele's controversial intelligence work on Trump-Russia connections, noting that despite criticism, many of his key allegations have proven accurate according to subsequent investigations, including the Senate Intelligence Committee report. The conversation concludes by addressing concerns about Trump's deferential behaviour toward Putin, his appointment of pro-Russian officials to intelligence positions, and the implications for US-UK intelligence sharing should Trump return to power.In this discussion, Nick Cohen and former diplomat Arthur Snell explore the complex relationship between Donald Trump and Russia, examining evidence suggesting Trump may be serving Russian interests either knowingly or unwittingly.

Arthur explains there's a spectrum of possibilities, from Trump being a recruited KGB/FSB asset to him being an unwitting "agent of influence" serving Russian interests. They note Trump's unusual connections to the Soviet bloc during the Cold War, including his 1987 Moscow visit and marriage to Ivana from Czechoslovakia, emphasising how rare it was for American businessmen to engage with communist countries at that time.Read all about it.Arthur Snell's substack column is Not all doom & his regular inciteful podcast is Behind the Lines.

This deeply researched book offers new perspective on the NATO-Russia relationship through the eyes of Strobe Talbott, a deputy secretary of state for seven years under President Bill Clinton and the key US diplomatic broker for the former USSR. Stephan Kieninger traces the Clinton administration's efforts to engage Russia and enlarge NATO at the same time, as elements of a new European security architecture. Drawing on Talbott's diaries, as well as US and European archives and extensive interviews with former government officials, he sheds light on NATO's opening, its missions in Bosnia and Kosovo, and other vexed issues. Kieninger argues that a careful look at Talbott's statecraft rebuts Putin's claims that the West exploited Russia's weakness after the Cold War, demonstrating that the Clinton administration and its NATO allies sought to include Russia at every step. An illuminating and comprehensive account of US diplomacy during the Clinton years, Securing Peace in Europe provides vital insight into the complex relations between Russia and the West.

Our cohosts were surprised and delighted to learn, thanks to today's crossword, that there are four countries whose national anthems have no lyrics, and so people instead hum, or sing something along the lines of "na, na, na". The four countries in question are Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, San Marino, and Spain. One of those appears in today's grid, and to preserve an air of suspense and mystery, we will defer identifying that country here in the show notes. We will say, though, that the crossword in general, courtesy of Gia Bosko, was quite well done, perfectly satisfying and suitable for a Friday: we give it 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.Besides the crossword, we also have some very interesting listener mail, so be sure and check that out as well!Show note imagery: SAMUELCHASE, the only supreme court justice to have ever been impeached (but he was acquitted of all charges).We love feedback!

Show Notes Episode 502: Way Down In Kosovo Part 4 of Summer Series 2025 This week Host Dave Bledsoe was savagely ejected from a bar in the Little Serbia neighborhood of Queens when he ordered a Belgrade Car Bomb. (Yes, there is a Little Serbia in Ridgewood Queens) On the show this week we finished up the Summer Series with that time the United States bombed the Balkans because the President couldn't keep his dick in his pants. We talk about 1999's Operation Allied Force in Kosovo. Along the way we hear about yet another time Dave almost got kicked out of the military but didn't. (It's like they never should have let him in!) Then discover why the Balkans is such a trouble spot in Europe. (Colonialism, but in this case, Roman Empire colonialism.) Then we dive right into post World War Two Yugoslavia. (Do we mention the car, you know that we do!) and how this created a lot of people in a small area who all hated each other's guts.  When the Berlin Wall dropped, followed by the dropping of Bill Clinton's trousers, the US and our NATO allies found ourselves blowing up some huts and bombing some schools! (Don't worry, a lot of them were Muslim schools!) Finally we examine why doing the right thing for the wrong reasons kind of nullifies doing the right thing. Our Sponsor this week is Safe-Tern,we find interns you won't WANT to have sex with!  We open the show with Bill explaining where and why we are bombing and close with Talon Sei demonstrating why Ska can turn even the worst song into something GREAT!  Show Theme: Hypnostate Prelude to Common Sense The Show on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/whatthehellpodcast.bsky.social The Show on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatthehellpodcast/ The Show on Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjxP5ywpZ-O7qu_MFkLXQUQ The Show on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatthehellwereyouthinkingpod/ Our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/kHmmrjptrq Our Website: https://www.whatthehellpodcast.com Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/Whatthehellpodcast The Show Line: 347 687 9601 Closing Music: https://youtu.be/TDDC7-Ymfeg?si=nA5xcFZ8YSlFoCOq&t=481 Buy Our Stuff: https://www.seltzerkings.com/shop Citations Needed: ‘It's getting out of hand': genocide denial outlawed in Bosnia https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/24/genocide-denial-outlawed-bosnia-srebrenica-office-high-representative Wikipedia: Operation Deliberate Force https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Deliberate_Force The Kosovo War in Retrospect https://warontherocks.com/2019/03/the-kosovo-war-in-retrospect/ From Watergate to Monicagate https://archive.org/details/fromwatergatetom00foer/page/132/mode/2up Where's the Evidence of Genocide of Kosovar Albanians? https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-oct-29-me-27493-story.html Learn more about your ad choices.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-eighth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by COL Ricky Taylor, the Commander of Ops Group (COG) and CSM Bill Gallant, the Command Sergeant Major of Ops Group (CSMOG). Today's guest is the Commander of 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division, COL Eric Soults.   The 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division, is the premier infantry formation of the Iowa Army National Guard, headquartered in Boone, Iowa. As part of the storied “Red Bull” Division, the brigade carries forward a legacy of combat excellence dating back to North Africa and Italy in World War II and extensive deployments in the Global War on Terror. The division's official motto, “Attack, Attack, Attack,” captures the offensive spirit ingrained in its culture. The brigade's Hollywood call-sign is “Ryder.”   This episode dives deep into the realities of modern warfare from the perspective of the Army National Guard, drawing on the experience of a recent JRTC rotation and upcoming deployment to the CENTCOM AOR. Topics include joint interoperability with international partners such as Kosovo and Jordan, the complexity of managing a brigade built from 19 states, and the use of tools like the “Ryder Way” to enforce standards and discipline. The conversation emphasizes the need to establish early relationships with partner forces, ruthlessly enforce battle rhythm and reporting discipline, and adapt to rapidly changing mission sets across operational phases from training to mobilization.   Other key points include the challenges of sustainment and the innovative use of a sustainment common operating picture or “SUSCOP” to enable proactive logistics. The brigade's leadership emphasizes empowering NCOs, enforcing standards across dispersed units, and maximizing limited training time by focusing on the fundamentals—especially at the squad and platoon level. The episode concludes with insights on the importance of effective commander-to-commander and staff dialogue, clear expectations, and synchronization of drill periods, all critical to preparing an Army National Guard brigade for LSCO and deployment abroad.   Part of S02 “If I Would Have Only Known” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

Albanien zählte über Jahrzehnte zu den isoliertesten Ländern der Welt. Doch diese Zeiten sind längst vorbei. Das Balkanland präsentiert sich weltoffen wie nie zuvor. Mit seiner Riviera und den albanischen Alpen lockt es nicht nur Reisende, sondern der Tourismus schafft vor allem auch neue Arbeitsplätze. Doch das reicht nicht aus, um Abwanderung zu verhindern.Albanien ist nicht mal so groß wie Brandenburg. Aktuell leben dort rund 2,4 Millionen Menschen. Anja Quiring, Albanien-Expertin beim Ost-Ausschuss der deutschen Wirtschaft, spricht im Podcast "Wirtschaft Welt & Weit" von einem Bevölkerungsverlust von 14 Prozent innerhalb von 12 Jahren. "Die Zahlen sind dramatisch", sagt Quiring.Pflegekräfte etwa werden in Albanien direkt für den deutschen Markt ausgebildet. Was uns im Kampf gegen den Fachkräftemangel hilft, stellt das Land selbst jedoch vor Probleme. Denn auch dort braucht man Pflegekräfte - gerade auch, weil viele Albaner, die lange im Ausland gearbeitet haben, nun ihren Lebensabend im Heimatland verbringen möchten, beobachtet Anja Quiring.Wie schwer trifft der Brain-Drain, also die Abwanderung von gut ausgebildeten Arbeitskräften, das Land? Und womit ist in Zukunft zu rechnen? Der Unternehmensberater Stefan Wings versucht, ausländische Investitionen nach Albanien zu ziehen, damit Arbeitsplätze vor Ort geschaffen werden. "Wenn gute Arbeitgeber dort bereit sind, ein mittleres Gehalt zu bezahlen", dann ist das für Wings - angesichts der hohen Lebenshaltungskosten in Deutschland - ein gutes Argument für Albanien.Wo entstehen neue Chancen? Wie weit ist Albanien auf dem Weg in die Europäische Union? Und wie steht das Land eigentlich zu Russland? Diese und viele weitere Fragen diskutiert Host Andrea Sellmann mit Anja Quiring und Stefan Wings in der neuen Podcast-Folge.Anja Quiring hat Albanien als Regionaldirektorin Südosteuropa beim Ost-Ausschuss der deutschen Wirtschaft genau im Blick. Stefan Wings ist Repräsentant für Albanien und Kosovo beim Bundesverband mittelständische Wirtschaft, Unternehmerverband Deutschlands e. V. (BVMW). In seinem Büro in Tirana ebnet er deutschen Mittelständlern den Weg nach Albanien und vernetzt Unternehmen beider Länder miteinander.Bei dieser Folge handelt es sich um einen Re-Upload.
