Quishing - QR codes used to trick people into visiting malicious websites or unknowingly share private information, a scam that has become known as “quishing.” - The increasing prevalence of QR code scams prompted a warning from the Federal Trade Commission earlier this year about unwanted or unexpected packages showing up with a QR code that when scanned “could take you to a phishing website that steals your personal information, like credit card numbers or usernames and passwords. It could also download malware onto your phone and give hackers access to your device.” - There is work being doen to develop a “smart” QR code called a SDMQR (Self-Authenticating Dual-Modulated QR) that has built-in security to prevent scams. But first, he needs buy-in from Google and Microsoft, the companies that build the cameras and control the camera infrastructure. Thoughts? - During a pivotal push by Ukraine to retake territory from Russia in late September 2022, Elon Musk gave an order that disrupted the counteroffensive and dented Kyiv's trust ...

C dans l'air du 30 juillet 2025 : J-9 : l'ultimatum de Trump à PoutineDonald Trump durcit le ton face à Vladimir Poutine. Le président américain a décidé de raccourcir le délai de son ultimatum : lundi, il a donné "10 à 12 jours" à son homologue russe pour mettre fin à la guerre en Ukraine, faute de quoi de lourdes sanctions seront imposées. Le 14 juillet, il lui avait pourtant accordé un délai de 50 jours. Deux semaines plus tard, le Républicain estime qu'"il n'y a aucune raison d'attendre", déplorant l'absence de "progrès".Mardi, Donald Trump a confirmé n'avoir reçu aucune réponse de la part de Vladimir Poutine. "Je n'ai aucune réponse. C'est dommage", a-t-il déclaré. Et de poursuivre : "Nous allons imposer des droits de douane et d'autres choses". Avant d'ajouter : "Je ne sais pas si cela affectera la Russie, car de toute évidence, il [Vladimir Poutine] veut que la guerre continue".Du côté du Kremlin, le porte-parole Dmitri Peskov a regretté un "ralentissement" dans le processus de normalisation entre Moscou et Washington. Il a assuré son "engagement en faveur d'un processus de paix" en Ukraine.Cet ultimatum n'est pas une première de la part de la Maison-Blanche. Aucun, jusqu'à présent, n'a véritablement infléchi la position de Moscou. Donald Trump commence-t-il à perdre patience ? Que signifie ce changement de calendrier ? Quelles sanctions les États-Unis pourraient-ils mettre en œuvre ? Et où en est réellement la situation sur le terrain ukrainien ?Alors que la Russie intensifie ses frappes, le président américain a annoncé dimanche l'envoi imminent de systèmes de défense antiaérienne Patriot à l'Ukraine. Cette annonce survient deux semaines après que Washington a suspendu certaines livraisons d'armes. De son côté, Kiev a signé un accord avec Swift Beat – la nouvelle entreprise d'Éric Schmidt, ex-PDG de Google – pour la livraison de « centaines de milliers » de drones intercepteurs kamikazes d'ici la fin de l'année. Ces engins sont destinés à contrer les drones iraniens Shahed, massivement utilisés par la Russie.Face à une grave pénurie de soldats, Volodymyr Zelensky a également promulgué une loi autorisant le recrutement de volontaires de plus de 60 ans dans l'armée. Ces personnes, à condition d'être médicalement aptes et approuvées par les autorités militaires, pourront servir dans des fonctions non combattantes.Par ailleurs, le président ukrainien a annoncé le dépôt imminent d'un projet de loi garantissant l'indépendance des agences anti-corruption et une "véritable protection" contre l'ingérence russe. Une initiative qui fait suite aux critiques venues de la rue et de l'Union européenne. Quelques jours plus tôt, une loi controversée supprimant l'indépendance de deux agences anti-corruption, officiellement pour les protéger de l'influence de Moscou après l'arrestation de deux hauts responsables, avait déclenché d'importantes manifestations à Kiev. L'UE avait exprimé sa "profonde préoccupation", y voyant un "sérieux recul" pour l'Ukraine dans sa lutte contre la corruption.Nos journalistes ont récemment pu suivre le travail des enquêteurs de ces agences anti-corruption. Leur reportage est à retrouver dans notre émission du jour. Nous reviendrons également, dans #cdanslair, sur les enjeux de l'initiative franco-saoudienne à l'ONU, ainsi que sur la situation à Gaza et en Cisjordanie.LES EXPERTS : - NICOLAS TENZER - Enseignant à Sciences Po, spécialiste des questions stratégiques- MARIE JÉGO - Journaliste spécialiste de la Russie - Le Monde, ancienne correspondante à Moscou- BERTRAND GALLICHER- Journaliste, spécialiste des questions internationales- JEAN-MAURICE RIPERT - Diplomate, ancien ambassadeur de France en Russie
¿Cómo es el Donbás y qué ha pasado en la región en los últimos 15 años? Serhii Korovayny, fotoperiodista ucraniano, nació en un pueblo de Donetsk. La historia de su vida es la historia de Ucrania: creció estudiando en ruso primero y en ucraniano después, vivió el declive económico de su región, la llegada de la propaganda rusa y la invasión de su pueblo. Ahora vive en Kiev pero pasa mucho tiempo en el frente, del lado ucraniano, fotografiando por última vez los pueblos antes de que caigan en manos rusas. Su familia lleva desde 2014 bajo la ocupación. 'Diario de Ucrania' es un pódcast en el que encontrarás el contexto necesario para entender lo que está pasando en la guerra tras la invasión rusa. En cada edición escuchamos a analistas, militares, periodistas, trabajadores humanitarios y a los ciudadanos ucranianos y rusos que sufren en primera persona este conflicto.Escuchar audio

In today's episode, we cover Democrats Admit Trump's Tariffs Worked Even liberal voices like Bill Maher now acknowledge that Trump's tariffs didn't tank the economy, despite widespread predictions of disaster. Meanwhile, Europe is reeling from the new U.S.-EU trade deal, calling it a humiliation and bracing for economic pain. Democrats Hit Lowest Approval in 35 Years A new Wall Street Journal poll shows the Democratic Party at its lowest favorability since 1990. Senator Mark Kelly blames messaging, but Bryan highlights six stunning stories, from migrant crime to teacher union extremism, that point to deeply unpopular policies. Nuclear Warning to Putin President Trump authorizes the transfer of U.S. nuclear weapons to a base in the UK and gives Vladimir Putin a 10–12 day deadline to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine. New tariffs, and possibly more, are on the table if Moscow fails to comply. Russia Restarts Flights to North Korea A direct air route opens between Moscow and Pyongyang for the first time in 30 years. While publicized as tourism, analysts warn it may serve as a covert weapons pipeline, just as Trump escalates nuclear posturing in Europe. Zelensky Retreats on Anti-Corruption Rollback After global backlash and pressure from the White House, Ukraine's president backpedals on a controversial move to weaken anti-corruption agencies. Still, the episode deepens Western mistrust of Kyiv's leadership. China Bans Gender Humor in Stand-Up Chinese officials warn comedians not to joke about men and women, citing concerns over “gender antagonism.” Bryan unpacks why this crackdown is part of a broader pattern of civil rights suppression that the world needs to confront. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32
Day 1,252.Today, after another 24 hours of heavy civilian losses in Ukraine, and significant strikes on Russian railway infrastructure, we assess Trump's claim that he is shortening the 50-day deadline for a ceasefire.

Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman joins Jojo from Jerz in the July heat (cicadas and all) to break down a week when political theater has nothing on the real-world consequences of cowardice and cover-ups. From Trump's “Ukraine Pivot” to the MAGA meltdown over the Epstein files, Vindman pulls zero punches.They unpack Tulsi Gabbard's attempts to get back in the Trump camp, what's really holding up peace in Ukraine (hint: it's not Kyiv), and why Russia's old playbook keeps working on both sides of the Atlantic. Jo digs deep for the “WTF” of it all, how far right narratives fuel chaos, and what's at stake when America's so-called leaders would rather distract, duck cameras, or chase conspiracies than actually govern.Subscribe and Follow Jo:https://linktr.ee/jojofromjerz Hosted on Acast.

La de Ucrania es desde hace más de tres años una economía de guerra. Esto implica un gasto muy elevado en defensa que impulsa la demanda interna. Ese gasto se financia con los ingresos fiscales y con constantes transferencias por parte de sus aliados occidentales. Pero sus aliados europeos no atraviesan un buen momento económico. La economía europea crece muy poco desde la crisis de 2008, incluso desde antes en algunos casos como Italia o Francia. Con la población muy envejecida y la sobrecarga de los generosos estados del bienestar, ayudar a Ucrania supone un esfuerzo que presenta ante su electorado como una inversión en seguridad frente al expansionismo ruso. Europa es el principal soporte económico para Ucrania. Desde 2022 la UE y sus miembros han proporcionado 85.000 millones de euros en apoyo económico a lo que habría que sumar los aportes del Reino Unido, Noruega y Suiza. La ayuda militar va aparte y suma otros 60.000 millones de euros. Todo este dinero ha conseguido estabilizar la economía ucraniana, cubrir sus presupuestos públicos y financiar la reconstrucción, pero su continuidad depende de un uso adecuado y transparente, cosa que no siempre sucede. Este mismo mes ha estallado una crisis interna a cuenta de una ley que reduce la autonomía de importantes agencias de control como la Oficina Nacional Anticorrupción. La aprobación de la ley provocó manifestaciones en Kiev y en las principales ciudades del país hace una semana, las primeras de relevancia desde que se produjo la invasión rusa. La Unión Europea protestó formalmente y avisó que habría consecuencias. Zelenski, sometido a presión interna y externa, se echó para atrás y sólo dos días después revocó la ley. Este episodio sirve de advertencia sobre los peligros del clientelismo y el capitalismo rentista, toda una tradición en Ucrania desde su independencia en 1991. Al igual que sucede en Rusia, la corrupción en Ucrania estaba muy extendida, precisamente por eso la guerra se presentó como una ocasión única para romper ese círculo vicioso de élites privilegiadas que se benefician de su cercanía con el poder político. Los programas de privatización y nacionalización están siendo objeto de mucho mayor escrutinio. Desde la invasión, el Estado ha intervenido en prácticamente todos los sectores de la economía y la prensa es relativamente libre para denunciar irregularidades. Un ejemplo reciente y muy ilustrativo es la privatización de United Mining and Chemical Company, el mayor productor europeo de titanio. Acusada de comercio ilegal con Rusia vía terceros países, se vendió a bajo precio en subasta única a una filial de Neqsol Holding, propiedad del azerí Nasib Hasanov. Se teme ahora que el titanio beneficie indirectamente a Rusia, dada las estrechas relaciones entre Azerbaiyán y Rusia.Estos escándalos, ampliamente cubiertos en prensa occidental, podrían secar la ayuda europea porque avivan las sospechas de malversación. La única posibilidad de Ucrania para sobrevivir es reformarse y convertirse en una democracia liberal de estilo occidental. Esto sólo podrán conseguirlo acometiendo una serie de reformas fundamentales como la del sistema judicial. Para los reformistas locales repeler la invasión rusa y avanzar hacia una occidentalización completa que les permita entrar en la UE y en la OTAN es todo uno. Una oportunidad como esta no se les va a volver a presentar.

Le pays peine à mobiliser trois ans après l'invasion russe, alors écrit Marianne le Parlement a autorisé il y a un an le recrutement dans les prisons. Et depuis, c'est parmi 37 000 détenus que l'armée peut aller chercher de nouvelles recrues. C'est le cas dans une prison de la région de Kiev. Les soldats recruteurs s'y rendent pour rencontrer une dizaine de prisonniers volontaires au milieu des murs rose pastel d'une bibliothèque aux rayonnages qui débordent de livres. « Je vais être clair, chez nous, il y a des règles strictes qu'il ne faut pas enfreindre sinon la sanction est sévère : pas d'alcool, pas de drogue, pas de désertion », peut-on lire dans les colonnes de Marianne. Et le recruteur de poursuivre « vous vous ferez bombarder fort, ce qu'on vous propose, c'est une excellente formation et du sérieux ». Parmi les prétendants ce jour-là, Sasha, 35 ans, qui a tué une femme qui tenait des propos pro-russes en 2024. Mais il n'a pas purgé le tiers de sa peine de neuf ans et ne pourra donc pas intégrer l'armée. 100 000 morts en trois ans, un conflit qui n'en finit pas de durer. En un an, 8 500 prisonniers ont été recrutés de la sorte. Combien rentreront chez eux en vie ? Difficile à dire, mais les surveillants de prison font de la résistance, poursuit Marianne, pas fan du dispositif, car s'il y a moins de prisonniers il y aura moins de postes de matons et donc plus de chances qu'ils soient, eux aussi, envoyés sur le front… Le Nouvel Obs s'intéresse aussi à un ancien prisonnier des geôles ukrainiennes entré dans l'armée. Mais son parcours est nettement plus atypique, pour ne pas dire chaotique, parce qu'il a été soldat russe avant. Pour V, il préfère l'anonymat, tout commence en 2023 détaille le Nouvel Obs, il se fait arrêter pour fraude fiscale, et est emprisonné. Et c'est là qu'en premier lieu l'armée russe s'intéresse à lui. « Soit tu vas te battre et tu touches la prime d'engagement, un million de roubles, 11 000 euros et 200 000 roubles par mois, 2200 euros. Soit, tu rempiles pour huit ans de prison ». Le choix est vite fait et le jeune homme se retrouve en camp d'entraînement avant de rejoindre le « hachoir à viande ». C'est le terrible surnom donné aux lignes d'assaut, un taux de survie très faible, les soldats envoyés en première ligne servent de chair à canon. Il se souvient que sur le front de nombreux corps de soldats russes morts pourrissent, jamais ramassés par les autorités qui évitent ainsi de devoir dédommager les familles des morts au combat. V. finit par s'échapper, poursuit le Nouvel Obs. Il se rend aux Ukrainiens, devient prisonnier de guerre, étonné du relatif bon traitement que lui réservent les soldats de Zelensky, il finit par s'engager à leur coté. « Mon rêve, c'est de faire venir ma mère et mon frère en Ukraine, conclut-il, je ne veux plus rien avoir à faire avec la Russie ». Les coulisses du G7 Au-delà des photos soigneusement préparées et des prises de paroles millimétrées, l'écrivain Emmanuel Carrère a suivi Emmanuel Macron dans les coulisses de ce sommet des plus puissants des puissants. À la mi-juin, au Canada, « l'exercice d'un tel sommet, c'est de se faire entendre sans donner l'impression qu'on fait la nique à Trump » rapporte Carrère dans le Nouvel Obs. Son récit, c'est celui des coulisses, des tractations silencieuses, des protocoles qui pèsent, des volontés de ne froisser personne. Costumes sombres et cravates pour les hommes, tailleurs stricts pour les femmes. Ils sont 1 500 dans les délégations à arpenter les salons d'un hôtel façon Shining flanqué au beau milieu de nulle part dans les plaines du Canada. Et le romancier de poursuivre « au bout d'une heure et demi, on est donc comme prévu arrivé à rien ». Dans Le Point, on s'intéresse au phénomène Meloni Qui s'affiche tout sourire en Une avec un petit village de Ligurie en fond, carte postale et géopolitique un combo toujours gagnant. Et on y lit qu'en mille jours la cheffe du gouvernement a su « imposer son pragmatisme ». Arrivée au pouvoir en septembre 2022, son gouvernement est rentré dans le top 5 de ceux avec le plus de longévité. Alors comment caractériser le style Meloni ? Le Point parle donc d'un « pragmatisme » revendiqué, d'une chef de gouvernement qui a su « imposer son équilibre politique de haute lutte », dans un pays habitué au chaos. Et même dans les rangs de la droite européenne, on salue son sérieux : elle devient « une partenaire sérieuse, crédible et raisonnable », là où on l'attendait isolée. Le Point rappelle que ses adversaires se font rares. À mi-mandat, aucun contre-projet ne perce, aucune figure n'émerge. Et quand elle parle, elle imprime. Exemple : au Conseil européen de février 2023, elle revendique l'introduction de « sept à huit propositions italiennes » sur l'immigration, et parle d'une « grande victoire pour l'Italie ». Une sortie qui avait laissé « un peu souffler » les diplomates français. Trois ans après son arrivée au pouvoir, Giorgia Meloni est toujours là, plus centrale que jamais. Elle agace, mais elle avance. Et, comme l'écrit Le Point, elle pourrait bien, d'ici 2027, doubler la mise.

Edition No201 | 25-07-2025 - Today: how Moscow is training teenagers to act as human bombs in Kyiv—and why Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) is sounding the alarm. From cafés to recruitment centres, from assassinations to remote detonations—these are not just plots but signals: Russia is escalating terror, and targeting the civilian population, because it cannot cut through on the battlefield.In the latest story, a Russian agent from Lviv was arrested in Kyiv while plotting an attack near a security service building. The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) counterintelligence investigators thwarted a major terrorist attack on a busy central street in Kyiv. During a special operation in the city, they detained a Russian agent who was planning to detonate explosives near an SSU facility."An investigation has found that the suspect reached out to a Russian intelligence operative through a messenger group and agreed to collaborate in December 2024. Her mission was to carry out a terrorist attack aimed at causing casualties among SSU personnel."----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------SOURCES: https://www.kyivpost.com/post/56919 https://tvpworld.com/87999080/ukraine-foils-alleged-russian-terror-plot-in-kyiv-caf https://english.nv.ua/nation/sbu-detains-17-year-old-in-kyiv-for-alleged-terror-plot-50515089.html https://united24media.com/latest-news/ukraines-security-service-prevented-russian-terror-attack-in-kyiv-thwarting-plot-to-kill-officials-6146 https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/02/1/7496297/ https://kyivindependent.com/sbu-uncovers-kyiv-oblast-terror-plot/ ----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

*** VIDEO EN NUESTRO CANAL DE YOUTUBE **** https://youtube.com/live/uQMEMAmGEG4 +++++ Hazte con nuestras camisetas en https://www.bhmshop.app +++++ #Actualidad #geopolítica #Ucrania En este episodio de Frente Geopolítico, Anfisa Motora, Lope Guerrero y Francisco García Campa analizan la nueva tensión que sacude el corazón de Ucrania: las protestas masivas en Kiev contra la reforma del sistema anticorrupción impulsada por Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Lo que parecía un tema técnico se ha transformado en una auténtica revuelta generacional. Los jóvenes que crecieron tras el Euromaidán —la generación del “nunca más”— ven ahora cómo el gobierno que prometió transparencia y reformas consolida el control sobre las agencias independientes. El resultado: miles en las calles, denuncias de autoritarismo y un nuevo frente… esta vez, interno. En este programa abordamos: – ¿Qué es la NABU y por qué es clave en el equilibrio institucional ucraniano? – ¿Qué implica la reforma y qué busca realmente Zelenskyy? – ¿Quiénes están detrás de las protestas? ¿Hay fractura generacional real? – ¿Cómo puede afectar esto a las relaciones con EE.UU., la UE y los organismos internacionales que condicionan los fondos de ayuda y reconstrucción? – ¿Está Ucrania entrando en una etapa de desgaste político en pleno conflicto existencial? Porque en geopolítica, los frentes internos son tan decisivos como los de batalla. Y cuando una nación en guerra protesta contra su propio presidente, el poder tambalea desde dentro. Frente Geopolítico lo analiza. Con Anfisa Motora, Lope Guerrero y Francisco García Campa. #Zelenskyy #Kiev #NABU #Ucrania #protestas #corrupción #geopolítica #FrenteGeopolítico #BAM
Presa europeană își exprimă îngrijorarea legată de proiectul de lege semnat de Zelenski care va restricționa autonomia agenților anticorupție. Jurnaliștii văd modificările ca pe un atac la adresa democrației și un pas înapoi de la traiectoria europeană. Este un punct fără întoarcere, scrie The Kyiv Independent. “Președintele Volodymyr Zelensky a semnat pe 22 iulie un proiect de lege care distruge efectiv independența celor două instituții cheie anticorupție din Ucraina, potrivit parlamentarilor din opoziție și organismelor de supraveghere. Aceștia au avertizat că, dacă vor fi adoptate, amendamentele ar împiedica anchetele celor două agenții asupra autorităților sau persoanelor apropiate președintelui.” Publicația ucraineană precizează și că decizia lui Zelenski de a aproba reforma va schimba cu siguranță imaginea țării în Europa, mai ales în privința aderării la uniune. La Repubblica este de acord că Ucraina tocmai a pus în pericol eforturile sale de până acum de a se apropia de Uniunea Europeană: „Lupta împotriva corupției endemice care a ținut Ucraina în strânsoare timp de decenii a dus la îmbunătățiri în ultimii ani. Este una dintre condițiile cheie pentru aderarea Kievului la Uniunea Europeană. Așadar, nu este o coincidență că Marta Kos, comisar european pentru extindere, și-a exprimat îngrijorarea cu privire la această contra-reformă, care extinde puterile președintelui și reprezintă un „pas înapoi” față de progresele înregistrate de Kiev în ultimii ani.” În consecință, Ucraina se aproprie din ce în ce mai mult de Rusia, spune The Spectator: „Lupta pentru viitorul Ucrainei se dă nu numai pe câmpul de luptă, ci și în cadrul instituțiilor sale democratice. Una dintre aceste bătălii a fost pierdută ... Legea apropie ucrainenii de țara pe care vor să o părăsească cu disperare. Dacă nu va fi respinsă, președintele Zelensky riscă să-i împingă pe oameni înapoi în Piața Independenței pentru o altă revoltă Maidan. Acest moment ar putea fi mai aproape decât crede el.”, se plânge ziarul britanic. Surprins de reacția provocată, președintele ucrainean a aprobat un alt proiect de lege care ar restabili independența autorităților anti-corupție. Însă răul a fost deja făcut, critică The Guardian. „Pentru mulți, această criză reprezintă punctul culminant al îngrijorărilor legate de stilul său de guvernare și de comportamentul unora dintre cei din anturajul său. De asemenea, ea are ecouri alarmante ale predecesorilor săi. [...] De asemenea, este îngrijorător faptul că președintele a încercat să discrediteze agențiile anticorupție vorbind despre „legături cu Rusia”. Ce este de facut în continuare? se întreabă publicația britanică. „El ar trebui să recâștige sprijinul în țară și în străinătate nu numai prin restabilirea independenței anchetatorilor anticorupție, ci și prin luarea în considerare a lecțiilor mai ample despre așteptările justificate ale poporului față de guvernul său.” Grupaj realizat de Mădălina Șerban

En los últimos días, Rusia ha lanzado más de 600 drones y misiles contra Kiev. Las explosiones ya no sorprenden, pero cada alarma nocturna sigue tensando los nervios. ¿Cómo se habitúa un ser humano a ese zumbido que anuncia un misil Shahed? ¿En qué momento uno decide no bajar al refugio? Esta es la crónica desde una ciudad donde la guerra suena cada noche… y donde, pese a todo, la vida continúa. El corresponsal Cristian Segura narra cómo varía el paisaje sonoro en Kiev conforme cambian los ataques y la defensa antiaérea.

Hamas has confirmed it submitted its response to an Israeli proposal for a 60-day Gaza ceasefire to negotiators. The response included proposed amendments to clauses on the entry of aid, maps of areas from which the Israeli army should withdraw, and guarantees on securing a permanent end to the war, according to a Palestinian source familiar with ongoing talks in Doha. Negotiators from both sides have been holding indirect talks in Doha with mediators in an attempt to reach an agreement on a truce deal. Türkiye has rejected a motion passed by the Israeli Knesset to annex the occupied West Bank, calling it ""null and void"" under international law and warning it poses a grave threat to regional stability. The Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the West Bank is Palestinian territory under Israeli occupation since 1967. It added that any attempt by Israel to annex it constituted an illegitimate and provocative effort aimed at undermining peace efforts. Armed clashes have broken out between Thailand and Cambodia along a disputed area of their border, the militaries of both countries said, each accusing the other of firing the first shots after weeks of simmering tension. The Thai military said in a statement that Cambodian troops had opened fire in an area near the disputed Ta Moan Thom temple. A spokesperson for Cambodia's Defence Ministry said there had been an unprovoked incursion by Thai troops and Cambodian forces had responded in self-defence. Protests in central Kiev against a law that curbs the power of anti-corruption agencies have continued as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy promised a new bill. The legislation, removing the independence of two key anti-corruption bodies, sparked the first major protests in Ukraine since the conflict with Russia began over three years ago. Zelenskyy responded to the backlash, saying he would submit a new bill ensuring "all norms for the independence of anti-corruption institutions will be in place". A federal appeals court has ruled that President Donald Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, upholding a lower-court decision that blocked the policy from taking effect across the United States. The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that Trump's executive order, which was aimed at ending automatic citizenship for children born on US soil to noncitizen parents, violated the Constitution. The decision aligns with a previous ruling by a federal judge in New Hampshire, who also found the order unlawful and issued a nationwide injunction.
L'Ukraine n'est pas qu'un pays en guerre, comme nous vous le disions dans le précédent épisode. Les activités économiques se poursuivent et les habitants tentent de vivre au mieux, même si récemment les attaques aériennes se sont multipliées.Les difficultés ne manquent pas : l'inflation est forte, alimentée par la hausse des prix de l'énergie et des salaires, dans un contexte de pénurie croissante de main-d'œuvre. Six entreprises ukrainiennes sur dix manquent de main d'œuvre en raison de la mobilisation ou au départ des employés, selon une étude publiée fin 2024. Et c'est le cas aussi pour l'agriculture, essentielle dans ce pays, qui représentait avant la guerre entre 10 et 15% de la richesse nationale et près de 15% des emplois. Elle est cruciale également pour l'Union européenne, qui importe du blé notamment. La production a cependant chuté, là encore, par manque de main d'œuvre et parce que les terres sont infestées de mines. Mais les agriculteurs n'ont pas baissé les bras. Pour cet épisode, nous vous proposons de poursuivre notre périple en Ukraine avec Boris Bachorz, journaliste au service international de l'AFP et Ania Tsoukanova, la directrice de notre bureau à Kiev, à la rencontre de paysans qui eux aussi ont recours au système D pour s'en sortir, et déminer comme ils peuvent.Réalisation : Michaëla Cancela-Kieffer Avec Boris Bachorz, reporter au service international de l'AFP, la directrice du bureau de l'AFP à Kiev Ania Tsoukanova et les reporters et collaborateurs de l'AFP sur le terrain : Ivan Samoilov, Oleksii Fiippov, Laeticia Peron Caitlin Yardley Egalement pour la préparation : Yulia Surkova, Kseniia Tomchil et Oleksii ObolenskyDoublages : Maxime Mamet, Lauralie Margalejo, Damien Stroka, Guillaume Gerard, Septime MeunierUne enquête réalisée avec le soutien de l'Observatoire des médias numériques d'Europe centrale (en anglais: CEDMO) et en collaboration avec Eoghan Macguire, Gyula Csák, Logan Williams et Galen Reich pour Bellingcat.Sur le Fil est le podcast quotidien de l'AFP.

Edition No198 | 23-07-2025 - In this episode, we take a hard, unsparing look at the Russian military's transformation, or lack of it—and the West's slow, uncertain response, at times pessimistic and laden with panic, at others complacent and bloated by hubris and overconfidence. Drawing on the analysis of John Foreman CBE and Edward Lucas of The Times, this episode insights from Bob Seely's new book ‘The New Total War'. It explores three years of hard lessons from Ukraine's battlefield, to ask: Is Russia preparing for perpetual war—and are we prepared to stop it?Russian Military Reform – Crude, Bloody, But Learning Dangerously and Unexpectedly Fast. John Foreman CBE, former British defence attaché in Moscow, pulls no punches: "Russia's approach to war is not efficient in a Western sense—its waste is staggering—but it can still be effective." (NEST Centre, July 2025). Despite early humiliations—the failed dash to Kyiv, the retreat from Kherson, and the mauling at Vuhledar—Russia has adapted. Foreman notes: “Mass and firepower, not finesse, remain the defining principles.” The focus is not on minimizing casualties but on ensuring throughput: of shells, drones, prisoners, and bodies, for meat-wave assaults.----------DESCRIPTION:Russia's Military Transformation: Adapting for Perpetual ConflictIn this episode of Silicon Bites, we delve into the critical question of whether Russia's military can change and adapt amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

"Designing clubs is about understanding psychology." The famed architects talk about bringing emotions, durability and hidden logic into era-defining nightlife spaces. How do you design the world's best clubs? Studio Karhard, the architecture firm started by Thomas Karsten and his wife, Alexandra Erhard, in 2003, know exactly which ingredients go into a successful nightlife space. The Berlin-based duo are the visionaries behind Berghain and ∄ in Kyiv, as well as a number of private residences, businesses and smaller venues around the world. Their specialty, they say, is salvaging forgotten spaces and resurrecting them to serve a new purpose. In this RA Exchange, Karsten talks about first coming across the building that's now Berghain and working tirelessly with engineers and city planners to preserve its neoclassical facade. As he explains, creating a memorable atmosphere goes beyond just designing for aesthetics. There are countless hidden design features that serve to make venues like Berghain comfortable. But according to Karsten, Studio Karhard's masterpiece is ∄, which they began designing in 2018. He describes the special experience of first visiting the abandoned brewery—which was then in extreme disrepair—and bringing the lessons they took away from building Berghain to make this Ukrainian space their most successful project yet. This episode takes a look under the hood of the psychology, anthropology and emotional study that inform the venues that have shaped underground electronic music culture.

En Ukraine, l'offensive d'été des forces russes bat son plein. Sur le terrain, elle suit la longue ligne de front qui lacère le pays du nord au sud, et à l'est et au sud de laquelle, les forces russes occupent environ 20% du territoire. Dans les airs, les attaques se sont intensifiées depuis plusieurs mois : des missiles et des centaines de drones visent régulièrement les grandes villes dont Kiev. De l'avis des experts, la Russie cherche ainsi à gagner du terrain et à démoraliser les habitants. Mercredi, de nouveaux pourparlers sont prévus à Istanbul, alors que jusqu'à présent les positions des deux camps ont semblé irréconciliables. La Russie exige en effet que Kiev lui cède les quatre régions occupées et la Crimée, annexée en 2014, qu'elle renonce à rejoindre l'OTAN, se désarme et réduise la taille de son armée.Chaque jour apporte son lot de victimes. Mais soldats et civils restent mobilisés pour que la vie continue. Des commerces et restaurants restent ouverts, des étudiants vont à l'université, et des bandes de musique continuent leurs tournées. Et dans les champs, les paysans s'accrochent à leurs terres, les plus minées au monde. Nous vous proposons un carnet de route dans ce pays qui résiste, en deux épisodes, avec Boris Bachorz, reporter au service international de l'AFP, la directrice du bureau de l'AFP à Kiev Ania Tsoukanova et les reporters de l'AFP sur le terrain.Enregistrements sur le terrain : Maryke Vermaak, Vadym Tomashevsky, Barbara Wojazer, Sergii VolskyiDoublages : Emmanuelle Baillon, Lauralie Margalejo, Maxime Mamet, Antoine BouthierRéalisation : Michaëla Cancela-KiefferLe reportage sur le terrain de Boris Bachorz a été réalisé avec le soutien de l'Observatoire des médias numériques d'Europe centrale (CEDMO).Sur le Fil est le podcast quotidien de l'AFP.

South Korea and China have a complex relationship characterized by economic interdependence, strategic competition, and regional security concerns. Navigating this delicate balance has been a defining challenge for every South Korean president. Newly elected President Lee Jae Myung has assumed power at a time of increasing US-China strategic competition as well as uncertain global supply chains and growing threat from North Korea. Could this new administration mark a shift in Seoul's approach to Beijing? Or will President Lee maintain strategies similar to that of President Yoon?To discuss ROK-China relations, and President Lee's approach to this intricate issue, we are joined on the podcast today by Dr. Ramon Pacheco-Pardo. He is a professor of international relations at King's College London and the KF-VUB Korea Chair at the Center for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy in the Brussels School of Governance. He is also an adjunct fellow with the Korea Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and the author of several books on the domestic affairs and foreign policy of South and North Korea.

It is a pivotal moment in Ukraine as Kyiv announced it will hold another round of peace talks with Russia on Wednesday.

Prior to his re-election in 2024, Donald Trump committed to releasing files related to several controversial investigations, including the Jeffrey Epstein case. Epstein was an alleged sex trafficker who died while in prison in 2019. Epstein's connections to prominent figures and the suspicious circumstances surrounding his death created fodder for conspiracy theorists on the right. Last week, Trump's DOJ and FBI announced they would not release the files and would no longer be investigating the case. That announcement has led to massive blowback from the president's MAGA base. The president is facing similar disdain from the MAGA universe over recent decisions regarding the war in Ukraine. After a massive attack of Russian drone strikes on Kyiv, Trump declared Russian President Vladimir Putin had 50 days to agree to a ceasefire. He also promised to ramp up U.S. military support for Ukraine through a NATO agreement. What finally flipped the switch on Trump's reverent tone for the Russian leader? Is there any ideological strategy we can glean from this move?Tourism to the United States is down. Is there any connection to the policies of Donald Trump? Should the tourism industry be a concern of the “America First” crowd?
In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: First—President Donald Trump is reportedly discussing a weapons "mega deal" with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that would see Washington buy battlefield-tested Ukrainian drones in exchange for Kyiv purchasing American-made arms. Later in the show—Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum threatens legal action against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after the death of a migrant worker during a raid at a cannabis farm in California.
