Donald Trump et Vladimir Poutine ont échangé par téléphone au sujet de la guerre en Ukraine, le mardi 18 mars. C'était la deuxième fois en un peu plus d'un mois. Dans les deux cas, ni Kiev, ni l'Union européenne n'avaient été consultés.Dans ce conflit, Donald Trump semble donner raison à Vladimir Poutine, ce qui provoque la colère des Européens qui se sentent trahis par leur allié historique. Pour beaucoup d'observateurs, l'ordre mondial que nous connaissons depuis la création de l'ONU en 1945 est bouleversé. L'Occident est divisé, avec d'un côté des Etats-unis et de l'autre, l'Europe. Alors sommes nous entrés dans un nouvel ordre mondial ?

La ayuda a Ucrania y el futuro de la defensa de Europa. Sobre ello, habla el Consejo Europeo este jueves en Bruselas. La UE quiere pasar de la teoría a la práctica. En el aire está también un fondo de ayuda a Kiev. También se ha debate la estrategia de rearme del continente. Pero hay obstáculos. El veto de Hungría y la falta de consenso.Olga Rodríguez, corresponsal de COPE en Bruselas, nos cuenta que este fondo que había propuesto la alta representante ha quedado en nada. Sobre los avances que se esperan en el rearme del continente, recuerda que "ayer se presentó este libro blanco de la defensa que analizaba los puntos débiles de la industria en Europa. No se esperan grandes cambios ni conclusiones porque ya las hubo la semana pasada con el tema del rearme. Es uno de los temas más controvertidos. Veremos en qué queda esta cumbre". Nos hacemos más preguntas, ¿qué necesita Europa para defenderse? ¿Y España? ¿Tendría sentido que volviese la mili en nuestro país? Chema ...

The Federal Reserve keeps rates on hold as anticipated. Chairman Jerome Powell signalled he was easing off on the growth forecast and slightly raising inflation projections. However, markets shrugged off any concerns and now expect two more potential rate cuts this year. The PBOC also maintains rates for the fifth straight month with the BoE and the Riksbank set to follow suit. The SNB is likely to cut once again later today. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang talks to our colleagues Stateside, spelling out the firm's A.I. infrastructure building plan. U.S. President Donald Trump hails his phone call with Ukrainian counterpart Volodomyr Zelenskyy, saying peace talks remained on track. Moscow and Kyiv still accuse each other of undermining any partial ceasefire with attacks energy installations.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A muito aguardada chamada telefónica entre Donald Trump, Presidente dos Estados Unidos, e o seu homólogo russo, Vladimir Putin, na terça-feira, não trouxe nada de significativamente novo sobre o desenrolar da guerra na Ucrânia, sobre a estratégia militar de Moscovo ou sobre as prioridades da diplomacia da nova Administração norte-americana. A Rússia “aceitou” não atacar a infra-estrutura energética ucraniana durante 30 dias, mas mesmo essa “cedência” traz-lhe vantagens no campo de batalha: se Kiev fizer o mesmo, Moscovo pode reforçar as suas linhas e para impedir que os drones ucranianos bombardeiem as suas reservas de petróleo. “O resultado do telefonema foi muito simples: não há cessar-fogo. Quem acha que isto é um acordo ou é louco, ou está claramente a fazer o jogo de Putin. Trump reserva a pressão máxima para [Volodymyr] Zelensky e a pressão mínima ou ausência de pressão para Putin”, resume a Teresa de Sousa. “Há de facto um entendimento entre Trump e Putin”, acrescenta. “Não gostam da União Europeia e querem dividi-la; não gostam da NATO e querem dividi-la; aceitam ambos a ideia de um mundo dividido em zonas de influência pelas grandes potências internacionais – EUA, Rússia e China – (…) e ambos odeiam Zelensky, pela razão simples de que este lhes faz frente”. No episódio desta semana do podcast Diplomatas também conversámos sobre a aprovação da reforma do travão da dívida alemão, em vésperas do Conselho Europeu, que se realiza esta quinta-feira em Bruxelas. Segundo o Carlos Gaspar, trata-se de “sinal muito forte” de Berlim para a UE, para Putin “e para Trump”, já que permite que a Alemanha “ocupe o seu lugar no centro da concertação estratégica com a França e a Grã-Bretanha, que vai ser mais importante nos próximos tempos do que a UE a NATO.” Da Europa, passámos para o Médio Oriente: o regresso da guerra israelita na Faixa de Gaza, assume Carlos Gaspar, também tem uma “dimensão interna” – a necessidade de aprovação do Orçamento do Estado e de reforço da maioria do Governo de Benjamin Netanyahu –, mas enfatiza, sobretudo, que é “absolutamente indispensável que haja uma força internacional que garanta a segurança em Gaza e que impeça o Hamas de restaurar o reino de terror sobre os palestinianos.” Teresa de Sousa traça ainda um “paralelismo impressionante entre a lógica de actuação de Putin e de Netanyahu”, primeiro-ministro de Israel. “Netanyahu quer redesenhar um mapa do Médio Oriente a favor de Israel; e é esse o grande objectivo da sua ofensiva. Putin quer redesenhar um mapa de segurança europeia; é o principal objectivo da guerra da Ucrânia”, considera. “Ambos têm, de alguma maneira, o beneplácito da Administração americana; ambos têm como principal instrumento a guerra. Para os dois a guerra é fundamental; para os dois a guerra não vai parar”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruselas acoge una cumbre clave de la UE para acelerar el rearme europeo y reiterar el sostén comunitario a Kiev. Mazón presencia la Cremà desde el balcón del Ayuntamiento valenciano alejado del público, un día antes de que se apruebe el proyecto de presupuestos pactado con Vox. Y el Gobierno se desdice y afirma que sólo presentará los presupuestos si tiene garantías de que los pueda aprobar en el Congreso.

Telefonata Trump-Zelensky, ‘pace possibile entro l'anno'.

The result of Donald Trump's heavily hyped negotiating session with Vladimir Putin yesterday is no to an unconditional ceasefire, and Russia immediately launched air attacks overnight and so did Ukraine. Moscow however did agree to exchange more prisoners of war with Kyiv, 300 in all today, and the US says more talks are planned. At the Pentagon, Celeste Wallander oversaw US military assistance to Ukraine during the Biden administration. In her latest Foreign Affairs article, she says that with uncertainty hanging over American aid to Kyiv, Europe and Ukraine have more leverage than they think.   Also on today's show: Greg Swenson, Chairman, Republicans Overseas UK; author John Green ("Everything is Tuberculosis")  Learn more about your ad choices.

Israel rompió el cese en fuego en Gaza tras semanas de tolerar dilaciones del grupo terrorista Hamas que aun mantiene cautivos a 59 rehenes. Las interferencias de otros países y la certeza de que Hamas buscaba ganar tiempo para rearmarse, condujeron a una nueva ronda de violencia que dejó decenes de victimas. Hay motivos detrás de esta ruptura. Y en Ucrania se preparan para responderle a Trump y Putin, que luego de una conversación telefónica acordaron un alto en fuego que propone condiciones que parecen diseñadas para que Kiev las rechace. Y además contiene una referencia cínica sobre un partido de hockey sobre hielo que roza el delirio político. Hoy en El Globo te contamos cada detalle de lo que sucede en ambos focos de crisis.

C dans l'air du 19 mars 2025 - La méthode de Trump à l'épreuve de... PoutineÀ l'issue de plus de deux heures d'entretien avec Donald Trump, Vladimir Poutine ne s'est finalement dit prêt qu'à une trêve partielle sur les installations énergétiques, dont les contours demeurent flous, et a accepté la poursuite des négociations. Russes et Américains doivent se retrouver dimanche en Arabie saoudite. Très optimiste, le locataire de la maison Blanche a indiqué sur son réseau Truth Social s'être entendu avec son homologue russe sur le fait d'arriver rapidement à un "cessez-le-feu total et, au bout du compte, à la FIN de cette guerre vraiment horrible". Mais si des promesses sur les infrastructures énergétiques ont été formulées par Moscou, le maître du Kremlin a également posé ses conditions pour la suite, notamment la fin de l'aide occidentale à l'Ukraine, renseignements compris. Ensemble à Berlin, Emmanuel Macron et le chancelier allemand sortant Olaf Scholz ont immédiatement affirmé qu'ils continueraient à aider Kiev. Le président de la République a également exigé que le cessez-le-feu soit "vérifiable" sur le terrain et que l'Ukraine soit invitée à la table des négociations. De son côté, le président ukrainien a estimé que les conditions posées par son homologue russe visent à "affaiblir" l'Ukraine et montrent qu'il n'est pas prêt "à mettre fin" à la guerre. Volodymyr Zelensky doit s'entretenir ce mercredi après-midi avec Donald Trump. Alors que se sont dit Vladimir Poutine et Donald Trump lors de leur appel ? Jusqu'où le président américain est-il prêt à céder pour obtenir un succès diplomatique ? Donald Trump veut à tout prix et rapidement un accord de cessez-le-feu en Ukraine pour redorer son bilan, au moment où aux Etats-Unis sa politique suscite des doutes et inquiétudes notamment sur le "front" économique. Consommateurs, investisseurs et marchés financiers baignent dans l'incertitude depuis son retour à la Maison Blanche avec le lancement d'une guerre commerciale et monétaire qui ravive le spectre d'une récession. La banque JPMorgan, qui estimait cette probabilité à 30 % début janvier, l'a désormais portée à 40 %. Donald Trump lui-même a reconnu il y a quelques jours qu'il n'excluait pas ce risque. Mais à défaut d'une récession, beaucoup d'économistes s'attendent à un ralentissement de la croissance et à une accélération de l'inflation. Thème qui était au coeur de la campagne de Donald Trump. Critiqué sur sa politique économique, le président des Etats-Unis vient également d'être rappeler à l'ordre par le président de la Cour suprême américaine, après que ce dernier a appelé à "destituer" un juge ayant ordonné la suspension d'opérations d'expulsion massives de migrants. "Depuis plus de deux siècles, il est établi que la destitution n'est pas une réponse appropriée à un désaccord concernant une décision judiciaire", a déclaré John Roberts dans un communiqué. L'attaque de Donald Trump visait un juge fédéral de Washington qui avait ordonné samedi la suspension pendant 14 jours de toute expulsion de migrants, et en particulier exigé d'interrompre une opération particulièrement spectaculaire vers le Salvador, concernant quelque 200 membres suspectés d'appartenir à un gang vénézuélien.Pendant ce temps, face à la menace russe et au désengagement américain, les Européens pressent le pas pour tenter d'assurer eux-mêmes leur défense. En Allemagne ces dernières heures les députés ont dit oui à une petite révolution, le "bazooka" budgétaire du futur chancelier allemand. Il s'agit d'un plan d'investissements géants de Friedrich Merz pour moderniser le pays mais aussi augmenter considérablement les dépenses militaires allemandes. Et ce mercredi à Bruxelles, c'est le Livre blanc sur l'avenir de la défense européenne qui est présenté par la Commission. On y retrouve les grandes lignes du plan dévoilé il y a deux semaines par Ursula von der Leyen avec un objectif affiché de 800 milliards d'euros pour mettre l'Europe de la défense en ordre de marche. Un montant ambitieux, mais dont la mise en œuvre dépend surtout de la bonne volonté des Etats membres de l'UE, soulignent des diplomates à Bruxelles. Pour les y aider, la Commission européenne veut notamment permettre aux États membres de consacrer jusqu'à 1,5 % de leur Produit intérieur brut (PIB) pendant quatre ans à des dépenses militaires, sans crainte d'enfreindre les règles budgétaires qui encadrent les déficits publics. L'idée étant d'acheter "davantage européen", au moment où la très grande majorité des investissements en matière de défense se fait en dehors de l'Union européenne.Les experts :- Bruno TERTRAIS - Directeur adjoint de la FRS, conseiller géopolitique à l'Institut Montaigne, auteur de "La guerre des mondes" aux éditions Alpha- Anthony BELLANGER - Éditorialiste à France Info TV, spécialiste des questions internationales- Lucie ROBEQUAIN - Directrice des rédactions de La Tribune et la Tribune dimanche, ancienne correspondante aux Etats-Unis- Philippe DESSERTINE - Professeur à l'Université IAE Paris panthéon sorbonne, directeur de l'Institut de Haute Finance, auteur de "Le grand basculement", publié chez Robert Laffont

Readouts issued by the White House and Kremlin of a phone call between US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin hint at attempts to stitch up some kind of peace in Ukraine. In Episode 1625 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta looks at the fine print of the proposed ceasefire deal, what Russian establishment is signalling to Kyiv and how Iran figured in Trump's phone call with Putin.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to a limited ceasefire with Ukraine after a discussion with U.S. President Donald Trump. The deal, also supported by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, would mean Russian and Ukrainian troops will stop targeting energy and infrastructure for 30 days.This ceasefire plan falls short of the original proposal, which would've seen an immediate 30-day halt to all fighting. Further talks are planned, but at this point, there are still a number of contentious issues – including security guarantees – to be negotiated.The Globe's Europe correspondent, Paul Waldie, reported from Ukraine. He'll talk about the call between Trump and Putin, the perspective from Kyiv right now, and where the peace talks are headed from here.Questions? Comments? Ideas?

Mariia Mezentseva, Ukrainian MP discusses reaction in Kyiv to yesterday's call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The highly anticipated call between US president Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart took place this morning. Vladimir Putin agreed to a watered-down proposal to stop firing on Ukraine's energy infrastructure for 30 days - a move backed by Kyiv. However, concessions over a complete ceasefire mean there is still no end in sight to the war in Ukraine. United States correspondent Todd Zwillich spoke to Lisa Owen.

No podcast ‘Notícia No Seu Tempo’, confira em áudio as principais notícias da edição impressa do jornal ‘O Estado de S.Paulo’ desta quarta-feira (19/03/2025): A proposta do governo de isenção de Imposto de Renda (IR) para quem ganha até R$ 5 mil por mês prevê a compensação das perdas de receitas com uma taxação mínima para um grupo de contribuintes mais ricos, com renda acima de R$ 600 mil por ano. A alíquota do IR mínimo para esse grupo será crescente até chegar a 10% – para quem tem ganhos acima de R$ 1,2 milhão por ano. Segundo a Fazenda, a taxação atingirá 141 mil contribuintes, enquanto a ampliação da isenção beneficiará mais de 10 milhões de pessoas. Na prática, a proposta, aposta do presidente Lula para reverter queda de popularidade, prevê quatro grandes grupos de tributação. O projeto propõe também tributar dividendos acima de R$ 50 mil por mês por empresa.

L'attualità internazionale con la telefonata tra il presidente Trump e quello russo Putin per trovare un epilogo al conflitto con Kiev ma anche le conseguenze sulla salute, a livello mondiale, dei tagli americani all' Usaid, l'Agenzia degli Stati Uniti per lo Sviluppo Internazionale. Sono alcuni dei temi che affrontiamo con l'analista Alberto Forchielli ospite in studio. A seguire ci occupiamo del bradisismo che sta investendo il territorio dei Campi Flegrei. Dal 1950 ad oggi il suolo si è sollevato di 431 cm.

După ce Administrația Prezidențială a făcut publice costurile zborurilor pentru vizitele externe ale lui Klaus Iohannis, au venit reactii din toate partidele. PNL vorbește despre „o enormă,  bătaie de joc”,  Kelemen Hunor spune că a fost o „risipă foarte mare”, iar purtătorul de cuvânt al USR, Ionuț Moșteanu, considera că Iohannis a dat dovadă de „o aroganță nemaivăzută în politică”. Social-democratii apreciaza ca „Orice ar fi făcut bun Iohannis, cu aceste sume a anulat totul. ”        Zelenski cere Occidentului să nu facă nici o concesie RusieiVolodimir Zelenski anunţă că urmează să discute la telefon cu omologul său american Donald Trump, la o zi după o convorbire telefonică între preşedintele american şi Vladimir Putin care a condus la un armistiţiu limitat. Liderul ucrainean cere să nu se facă nicio ”concesie” Rusiei, care a cerut încetarea ajutorului occidental pentru Kiev, înaintea oricărei încetări complete a focului.  Autorităţile turce au ordonat reţinerea primarului Istanbulului, Ekrem Imamoglu, şi a altor aproximativ 100 de persoane, printre care jurnalişti şi oameni de afaceri, în cadrul unei anchete de corupţieOpozitia primeste in acest fel o lovitură cu doar câteva zile înainte ca aceasta să îl aleagă drept candidat prezidenţial în următoarele alegeri pe edilul din Istanbul. O mişcare extrem de intimidantă, mai ales ca Imamoglu avea sanse reale sa-l invinga pe actualul presedinte Recep Tayip erdogan la alegerile de peste 3 ani. Ce au primit francezii de la guvern în cutiile de poștăar Guvernul francez se pregăteşte să trimită populaţiei o broşură cu sfaturi practice pentru a face faţă unei crize precum un accident industrial, o scurgere radioactivă sau o catastrofă climatică. Conflictul armat nu este însă abordat, spre deosebire de modelul suedez publicat acum câteva luni şi care îi îndemna pe cetăţeni să fie pregătiţi pentru un posibil război.  

„Președintele rus nu vrea pace, iar Trump nu își poate permite ca un ucigaș în masă laș să câștige,” iată declarații făcute de fostul premier britanic, Boris Johnson pentru Daily Mail și citate de presa ucraineană. Jurnaliștii din Ucraina mai scriu că nimeni nu are încredere că Rusia va respecta un acord de încetare a focului și va recurge la provocări. După Acordurile de la Minsk, Putin și-a încălcat cuvântul de cel puțin 25 de ori.  „Experiența ne arată că trebuie să ne așteptăm la provocări din partea Rusiei,” este un titlu din pravda.com.ua care citează un interviu acordat pentru presa ucraineană de ministrul afacerilor externe, Andriy Sybiga.„Experiența noastră amară a procesului de la Minsk” și a încetării focului stabilit la acea vreme, au fost cel puțin 25 (înțelegeri privind încetarea focului, n.r.) arată că (...) ar trebui să ne așteptăm imediat la provocări din partea rusă,” adaugă oficialul ucrainean.„Deci avem nevoie de un mecanism eficient de control obiectiv”, a spus Sybiga și a precizat că Ucraina a început deja să formeze o echipă națională „responsabilă cu dezvoltarea modalităților, a algoritmilor care să asigure acest proces”.„Putin nu vrea pace, iar Trump nu își poate permite ca un ucigaș în masă laș să câștige,” a declarat fostul premier al Marii Britanii, Boris Johnson într-un articol pentru pentru Daily Mail, citat de publicația Dzerkalo Tyzhnia (Oglinda Săptămânii în limba ucraineană).Condițiile de pace ale lui Putin nu sunt doar inacceptabile, ci arată și o lipsă de respect pentru dreptul internațional, spune Boris Johnson care subliniază că obiectivele Rusiei în acest război rămân neschimbate: Kremlinul urmărește să elimine independența Ucrainei, să stabilească un regim pro-rus la Kiev și să recâștige controlul asupra teritoriilor care au făcut parte odată din URSS. În plus, Moscova vrea să submineze unitatea NATO și să pună sub semnul întrebării influența Statelor Unite în lume.„Mai presus de toate, Putin vrea să ridiculizeze Statele Unite și să submineze hegemonia americană”, a mai spus Boris Johnson.Cum fentează protestatarii georgieni amenzile Umbrelă, pălărie de marinar, ochelari de soare și multe altele: participanții la proteste sunt mai inteligenți decât „camere inteligente,” citim în radiotavisupleba.ge, Europa Liberă în limba georgiană. Siteul publică un articol despre felul în care protestatarii încearcă să evite amenzile impuse de autoritățile pe care nu le recunosc, împotriva celor care protestează.„Amenda pentru blocarea unui drum este de 5000 GEL, cea de acoperire a feței este de 2000 GEL. Aș prefera să fiu amendat pentru că mi-am acoperit fața”, explică Nino în vârstă de 47 de ani, care a participat la protestele din ultimele săptămâni purtând mască, șapcă și glugă deasupra.În ciuda modificărilor aduse legii adunărilor și demonstrațiilor, care interzice, printre altele, acoperirea feței, majoritatea participanților la demonstrații au protestat recent de-a lungul bulevardului Rustaveli din Tbilisi cu fețele acoperite.Una dintre participantele la demonstrații, care iese în fiecare seară pe Bulevardul Roustavéli mărturisește: „Poate că arăt puțin ridicol, dar în mijlocul unui protest, orice este acceptabil ca deghizare. Nu trebuie să permitem ca amenzile contra noastră să îmbogățească statul, care folosește banii primiți nu pentru dezvoltarea țării, ci pentru propria bunăstare. Dacă am realizat ceva, fie că este vorba de sancțiuni, nerecunoașterea alegerilor, un guvern și un președinte ilegitim, este pentru că oamenii protestează continuu împotriva alegerilor trucate de acest guvern”, a spus femeia.Veaceslav Platon a fost arestat de autoritățile britaniceControversatul om de afaceri Veaceslav Platon, cercetat în R. Moldova în mai multe dosare penale, inclusiv în „Laundromat”, se află în custodia autorităților britanice. Precizarea a fost făcută de Violina Moraru, purtătoarea de cuvânt a Procuraturii Generale (PG), la solicitarea Ziarului de Gardă.Cererea privind extrădarea lui Veaceslav Platon, transmisă de PG autorităților britanice, urmează să fie examinată la mijlocul lunii aprilie.Veaceslav Platon, aflat de mai mulți ani la Londra, a fost reținut pe 13 martie de către autoritățile britanice pentru a fi extrădat în R.

Analiza discuției Trump-Putin nu dă vești bune Europei (HotNews) Cine va face pușcărie pentru dezmățul lui Iohannis? (SpotMedia)Desecretizarea de către președintele interimar Ilie Bolojan a cheltuielilor pentru deplasările externe ale lui Klaus Iohannis în cei 10 ani de mandat este un act sanitar. Și de transparență, și de legalitate, și de asanare a unei nesimțiri care depășește orice imaginație.Pe scurt, în cei 10 ani dl Iohannis a cheltuit pentru deplasările domniei sale peste 113 milioane de lei, adică aproape 23 de milioane de euro.Banii aceștia includ închirierea și operarea avioanelor de lux. Au fost doar zboruri cu regim special, niciunul de linie, dar și ciocoismul extrem al escalelor de Uber aerian la Sibiu, pentru a fi ridicată și lăsată consoarta.Nimic nu justifică asemenea dezmăț pe bani publici.Dl Iohannis a cheltuit 3,5 milioane de lei pe Hakuna Matata și în Safari prin Kenya. 7,5 milioane de lei că să fie primit de viceprimarul din Rio de Janeiro. 7 milioane de lei pentru turneul în Japonia și Singapore. Până și o vizită de o zi la Sofia a costat 50.000 de euro.Niciodată dl Iohannis nu a luat după el delegații de oameni de afaceri. Eventualii miniștri din delegație veneau separat, cu o cursă de linie.Situația tragică a României, ascensiunea extremiștilor sunt consecințe directe ale mandatelor Iohannis, ale dezamăgirii și frustrării provocate oamenilor inclusiv prin luxul opulent sfidător și secretizarea cheltuielilor în spatele cărora oamenii bănuiau sume exorbitante.  Dl Iohannis nu este singurul vinovat pentru această ticăloșie fără margini. El este profitorul, desigur, însă împarte vina cu armata de slugi care nu au îndrăznit să se opună, atrage atenția jurnalista Ioana Ene Dogioiu pe pagina SpotMedia.Alegeri prezidențiale 2025 | Cine (re)intră în cursă și ce averi au candidații (Europa Liberă)Mai sunt 47 de zile până la primul tur al alegerilor prezidențiale reluate după anularea celor din noiembrie 2024. Și se apropie de final una dintre cele mai importante etape - înscrierea și validarea candidaților. 18 martie este ultima zi în care se pot formula contestații la CCR privind înregistrarea sau respingerea înregistrării candidaturilor sau a semnelor electorale.Pe 20 martie, Biroul Electoral Central (BEC) va publica lista finală cu aspiranții la Palatul Cotroceni. Iar pe 22 martie e stabilită ordinea candidațior pe buletinul de vot.Campania electorală începe pe 4 aprilie.Europa Liberă reține că s-au înscris în cursă 21 pretendenți, iar pe lista BEC a candidaților ale căror dosare au fost admise sunt 12 persoane. Cinci au candidat și la scrutinul precedent, cel din noiembrie 2024. Iar patru sunt candidați independenți.„Colectivul” Macedoniei de Nord. De ce se repetă aceeași rețetă a dezastrului la incendiile din cluburi (Panorama)59 de morți, aproape 200 de răniți, peste 20 de suspecți audiați, șapte zile de doliu și o națiune cu 1,8 milioane de oameni în stare de șoc. Așa arată fotografia la minut a dezastrului din clubul Pulse, din Macedonia de Nord. Rețeta dezastrului de la Kočani ne este mult prea familiară. Românii au trăit-o pe pielea lor, acum 10 ani, în tragedia de la Colectiv, din București.Un club deschis într-un fost depozit de covoare, care primise o autorizație de funcționare în condiții îndoielnice, în care s-au folosit ilegal materiale pirotehnice în timpul unui concert al unei trupe cu care nu se încheiase niciun contract, într-o clădire a cărei singură protecție la incendiu erau două extinctoare și o singură cale de acces pentru un public de aproximativ 500 de oameni. Sună cunoscut?Totuși, prima mare diferență între catastrofa din Pulse și cea din Colectiv este că autoritățile din Macedonia de Nord au înțeles din prima clipă că nu pot gestiona singure amploarea dezastrului. Au cerut imediat ajutorul Uniunii Europene, prin activarea Mecanismului de Protecție Civilă, pentru a transporta zeci de pacienți în alte țări unde li se poate oferi tratamentul necesar. Nouă țări au oferit sprijin imediat. Inclusiv România, care a intermediat luni, cu un avion militar, transferul a patru răniți în Lituania, lucru confirmat și de Comisia Europeană.Integral pe pagina Panorama.Se pot bombarda spitale ucrainene, dar nu și rafinării rusești! Cam asta e concluzia negocierii dintre Trump și Putin (Republica)Se pot bombarda spitale ucrainene, dar nu și rafinării rusești!Cam asta e concluzia negocierii dintre Trump și Putin din 18 martie.Ambii au cumpărat timp: pentru a scăpa de Zelenski și pentru a slăbi poziția europeană!Rusia primește cadou un acord de 30 de zile pentru oprirea bombardamentelor asupra infrastructurii energetice, în condițiile în care Rusia are deja 12 rafinării avariate. Iar Ucraina tocmai ce a anunțat două noi arme: o dronă cu autonomie mare și o rachetă ucraineană care poate ajunge adânc în teritoriul rus. Și se va discuta încetarea focului pe Marea Neagră, unde oricum rușii au pierdut multe nave. În schimb, Trump, care în fiecare zi plânge pentru victimele războiului la televizor, nu a reușit să obțină un acord pentru a opri atacurile asupra civililor. Să nu mai moară ucraineni în spitale, în școli, în instituții și în magazine sau locuințe.Comunicarea rusă vorbește de condiționarea Ucrainei pentru acordul american, de a nu mai cumpăra sau primi armament și renunțarea la pregătirea militară. Orice ajutor militar sau informațional pentru Ucraina trebuie să fie oprit. Condiții care nu se regăsesc în comunicatul Casei Albe. Integral, în Republica.„Nimic nu este avantajos pentru Kiev. Negocierile au pornit și merg cât se poate de prost” / „Dacă pică Ucraina, noi suntem la rând”. Analiza discuției Trump-Putin nu dă vești bune Europei (HotNews)Iulia Joja, profesoară adjunctă la universitățile Georgetown și George Washington din SUA, nu vede nimic avantajos pentru Ucraina în discuțiile SUA-Rusia.Într-un dialog purtat cu HotNews după convorbirea Trump-Putin, experta în securitate a arătat că întreaga negociere „este o glumă pentru orice negociator”, din moment ce SUA s-au arătat gata de la bun început să ofere Rusiei toate concesiile posibile. Pentru Trump, spune ea, ironic, nimic nu este însă un eșec.  „Din punct de vedere factual, negocierile au pornit și merg cât se poate de prost. Dar ne așteptăm să vedem în continuare ca Trump să se înfățișeze drept mare negociator și câștigător”.„Prin condițiile pe care le impune pentru un armistițiu total, Rusia arată, pur și simplu, că nu și-a modificat cerințele maximaliste”. „Atunci, în aceste condiții actuale, vedem Rusia încercând să solicite o capitulare a Ucrainei. Iar aceștia sunt pașii absolut necesari către capitulare”. „În România, rămâne același calcul valabil ca până acum. Dacă pică Ucraina, noi suntem la rând”.

C dans l'air du 18 mars 2025 - Trump/ Poutine : un appel... et un accord ?Un coup de fil très attendu. Le président américain Donald Trump et son homologue russe Vladimir Poutine doivent échanger au téléphone ce mardi après-midi pour discuter d'une "normalisation" des relations entre les deux pays et sans doute sceller le sort de l'Ukraine. Il s'agit de la deuxième conversation officielle entre les deux chefs d'Etat, après celle du 12 février qui avait marqué le début du réchauffement des relations entre les Etats-Unis et la Russie. Donald Trump qui se targue d'avoir une relation privilégiée avec Vladimir Poutine va-t-il le convaincre d'accepter un cessez-le-feu de 30 jours ? A quelles conditions ? Le président américain est resté vague évoquant des "partages de certains avoirs ", dont des "terres" et des "usines de production d'énergie". De son côté le Kremlin a émis jusqu'à présent des revendications maximalistes pour cesser les hostilités, dont la cession par l'Ukraine de cinq régions annexées par Moscou, l'abandon des ambitions de Kiev de rejoindre l'Otan, le démantèlement du pouvoir ukrainien en place. Des conditions rejetées par Kiev qui appelle la Russie à accepter un cessez-le-feu "sans conditions" et demande des garanties de sécurité de la part de ses alliés occidentaux pour garantir une éventuelle trêve. Après trois ans de guerre, l'avenir de l'Ukraine va-t-il se jouer sur un coup de fil ?Sur le front, la Russie accentue la pression et ne donne pas l'impression de vouloir la paix. C'est ce qu'a déclaré Emmanuel Macron ce week-end. Le président de la République poursuit dans les médias son offensive pour convaincre le pays de la réalité de la menace russe, protéiforme, malgré les critiques sur son alarmisme, alors qu'en Allemagne le probable futur chancelier s'est exprimé devant le Parlement avant le vote d'un plan de réarmement. La «guerre contre l'Europe» menée par la Russie rend nécessaire ces investissements géants, notamment militaires, a affirmé Friedrich Merz. "C'est en effet une guerre contre l'Europe, et pas seulement une guerre contre l'intégrité territoriale de l'Ukraine", a-t-il ajouté. "La manipulation et l'interférence des informations constituent une menace majeure pour la sécurité de l'UE", a alerté de son côté la cheffe de la diplomatie européenne Kaja Kallas. "Nous ne devons pas sous-estimer le pouvoir que tout cela a sur nous, ni les intentions de leurs auteurs".Parallèlement à son offensive militaire en Ukraine, la Russie est accusée par les Occidentaux de mener une guerre hybride à leur encontre. Au-delà du champ de bataille, la guerre devient alors informationnelle, cybernétique, économique ou diplomatique. Il s'agit par exemple de tirer parti des tensions culturelles, sociales ou politiques qui scindent la société adverse. En première ligne face à la Russie, l'Estonie a vu se multiplier, ces dernières années, les cas de guerre électronique et d'ingérence. Pour le pays, l'exemple le plus marquant reste celui de 2007. Après avoir annoncé qu'une statue datant de l'occupation soviétique serait déplacée, le gouvernement a fait face à une cyberattaque de grande envergure, étalée sur 22 jours. Les sites d'agences gouvernementales, de banques, de plusieurs journaux ainsi que celui du Parlement ont été visés par des attaques qui ont rendu ces sites inaccessibles en les inondant de requêtes artificielles. Depuis cette date, les attaques n'ont jamais cessé et le pays d'1,4 million d'habitants est devenu l'un des leaders mondiaux en matière de cyber défense et de la lutte contre les fakenews. Frontalier de la Russie, l'Estonie est désormais l'un des pays de l'OTAN qui investit le plus dans sa défense. Elle y consacre 3,4 % du PIB depuis l'année dernière et entend passer à plus de 5 % de son PIB à partir de 2026. "Avec la Russie, nous avons un délai de trois à cinq ans" a expliqué le ministre des Affaires étrangères estonien qui appelle à des mesures concrètes contre le Kremlin.Parallèlement au Proche-Orient, la trêve a pris fin à Gaza. Au moins 410 personnes sont mortes, dont le chef du gouvernement du Hamas, selon le ministère de la santé sur place, dans des frappes israéliennes menées cette nuit. Israël accuse le Hamas de refuser de libérer les otages. "Je peux confirmer que la reprise des combats intenses s'est faite en totale coordination avec Washington", a affirmé le porte-parole du gouvernement israélien. Après avoir suspendu les livraisons de l'aide humanitaire, il y a seize jours, coupé la dernière ligne électrique qui alimente la principale usine de dessalement d'eau du territoire il y a une semaine, l'Etat hébreu frappe de nouveau brutalement l'enclave palestinienne. Le Hamas, de son côté, a averti que ces bombardements mettaient en péril le sort des otages et a estimé que Benjamin Netanyahu utilisait la guerre à des fins politiques. Le Premier ministre israélien devait comparaître ce mardi dans trois affaires de corruption. L'audience a été annulée.Les experts :- Nicole BACHARAN - Historienne et politologue, spécialiste des États-Unis, éditorialiste - Ouest France - Patrick DUTARTRE - Général de l'armée de l'Air et de l'Espace, ancien pilote de chasse- Vincent HUGEUX - Journaliste indépendant, essayiste, spécialiste des enjeux internationaux- Joséphine STARON - Directrice des études et des relations internationales chez SynopiaPRÉSENTATION : Caroline Roux - Axel de Tarlé - REDIFFUSION : du lundi au vendredi vers 23h40PRODUCTION DES PODCASTS: Jean-Christophe ThiéfineRÉALISATION : Nicolas Ferraro, Bruno Piney, Franck Broqua, Alexandre Langeard, Corentin Son, Benoît LemoinePRODUCTION : France Télévisions / Maximal ProductionsRetrouvez C DANS L'AIR sur internet & les réseaux :INTERNET : francetv.frFACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/Cdanslairf5TWITTER : https://twitter.com/cdanslairINSTAGRAM : https://www.instagram.com/cdanslair/

On today's podcast: 1) President Donald Trump said the US and Russia are already talking about dividing “assets” as part of a push to end the fighting in Ukraine, the latest sign that he may be preparing to sacrifice Kyiv’s interests when he speaks with Vladimir Putin on Tuesday. 2) Israel launched a series of airstrikes overnight across Gaza, shattering a nearly two-month ceasefire with Hamas.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to act “with increasing military strength” and said the Palestinian militant group had repeatedly refused to release the hostages it’s holding. 3) Two NASA astronauts stuck in orbit for nine months finally departed the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX capsule on Tuesday, kicking off their long-awaited voyage home.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tras la llamada telefónica entre Trump y Putin, se ha alcanzado un acuerdo para cesar los ataques contra las centrales energéticas durante 30 días. En el informativo '24 Horas de RNE', conocemos los detalles sobre lo que ha comunicado cada país respecto a estos acuerdos.Sobre el Kremlin, ya se han dado las órdenes correspondientes para palizar las ofensivas. Además, aseguran que, como gesto de buena voluntad, entregarán a 23 militares ucranianos gravemente heridos. Según nos informa nuestra compañera del área de Internacional, Celia Vidal.El comunicado de la Casa Blanca es más "genérico" que el del Kremlin y nuestra corresponsal en Whasignton, María Carou, nos muestra la hoja de ruta que seguirán. El primer paso será una tregua en el suministro de energía e infraestructuras de forma inmediata; posteriormente, se pactará una tregua marítima, luego un alto el fuego total y, por último, un acuerdo de paz definitivo. Lo que no se especifica es el papel que tendrá Ucrania en esas negociaciones ni si se contará con la UE.Por último, Fran Sevilla, enviado especial a Ucrania resalta que esta conversación "no se trata de un alto el fuego total como se había acordado con Kiev", y que no tendrá un efecto positivo para el país. En el caso de que se cumpla la exigencia rusa de detener el envío de armas por parte de Occidente, "será difícil ver un camino despejado hacia la paz".Escuchar audio

Ilya Ponomarev is a Russian-Ukrainian politician who was a member of the Russian State Duma from 2007 to 2016. After the 2022 Russian invasion, Ponomarev joined Ukraine's Territorial Defence Forces, and categorically denounced the invasion. While a member of the Russian State Duma, he was the only deputy not to vote in favour of the Russian gay propaganda law and to vote against Russia's annexation of Crimea in March 2014. He is now in exile in Ukraine and is a spokesman with insurgent Russian forces (National Republican Army) fighting on the side of Ukraine. ----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.

Edition No113 | 17-03-2025 - Massive protests have erupted in Belgrade and Budapest against the corruption and kleptocracy of incumbent governments. In Bucharest, Romania thousands gathered to declare their solidarity with Europe and Ukraine, and reject Russia attempts to interfere with and corrupt their democracy. Romania is Europe, is the sentiment on the streets, and there is anger also at the attempt of Trump and his supporters to try and enable this Russia interference and gerrymandering, under the pretext of free speech. Streets are flooding with people, in an echo of the 100+ days of protests ongoing in Georgian towns and cities. Protestors brand their national flags, as well as EU flags, and are chanting Russia be damned, and its attempts to destabilise their democratic processes and process. Orbán in Hungary was elected democratically, but his behaviour increasingly resembles that of a dictator, and his regime is seen as pro-Russian. He shut down public transportation to prevent people coming from across the nation gathering in the capital.Opposition leader Péter Magyar declared: "The spring is here. The spring of the Hungarians. And we, together will end Orban's winter!" Orbán's regime is facing collapsing poll numbers and massive protests, but he continues to double down on actions that align with the Kremlin's strategic interests. He has put to the EU a list of ‘demands' and continues to frustrate and block measures to support Ukraine. ----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------LINKS:https://www.dw.com/en/hungarys-orban-vows-crackdown-on-media-ngos/a-71932327https://www.politico.eu/article/viktor-orban-vows-crackdown-shadow-army-political-opponents/https://kyivindependent.com/eu-resists-pressure-from-hungary-extends-russia-sanctions-including-those-on-mikhail-fridman/https://apnews.com/article/hungary-orban-crackdown-media-ngo-38776560a2edf5948482dd4839461411https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/03/15/7503069/https://www.kyivpost.com/post/48992----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success.

C dans l'air du 17 mars 2025 - Trump - Poutine : la paix simple comme un coup de fil ?De retour à Washington dans l'avion présidentiel Air Force One, Donald Trump a fait savoir aux journalistes présents à bord qu'il s'entretiendra ce mardi 18 mars avec son homologue russe, Vladimir Poutine. Il sera question de partages de terres et de centrales énergétiques a fait savoir le président américain. Donald Trump espère convaincre le président russe d'approuver un plan de trêve de 30 jours accepté la semaine dernière par Kiev. Le Kremlin a confirmé ce lundi que les deux dirigeants se parleront au téléphone ce mardi mais pas les détails de cette conversation. Le président russe Vladimir Poutine avait déclaré la semaine dernière que Moscou soutenait, sur le principe, une trêve dans le conflit avec Kiev, tout en suggérant que le projet de Washington devait être remanié.Ces échanges entre les États-Unis et la Russie préoccupent les Européens, qui craignent un accord aux dépens de la sécurité du continent et multiplient les réunions sur la défense. Samedi, lors d'un sommet virtuel organisé par Londres, une trentaine de dirigeants d'États et d'organisations soutenant l'Ukraine ont décidé d'exercer une "pression collective" sur la Russie, qu'ils soupçonnent de vouloir poursuivre la guerre. "La balle est dans le camp de la Russie" qui "devra tôt ou tard […] s'engager dans des discussions sérieuses", avait lancé le Premier ministre britannique Keir Starmer, selon lequel Vladimir Poutine "est celui qui essaie de retarder" les choses, avec nombre de conditions. Emmanuel Macron qui recevait ce lundi son homologue canadien a rappelé que la France et la Canada étaient des "puissances de paix" et des "alliés fiables" qui continueront à exiger de la Russie des "engagements clairs" pour une "paix durable" en Ukraine et la "sécurité de l'Europe toute entière".Dans un entretien à la presse quotidienne régionale, le chef de l'Etat a également dévoilé ses intentions sur les suites de la guerre en Ukraine et la mobilisation de la société. Emmanuel Macron qui ne croit pas à la volonté des Russes de faire la paix, continue à travailler avec ses partenaires européens pour obtenir des garanties de sécurité en cas de cessez-le-feu, et à organiser la défense du continent. Il a notamment incité les fabricants français à produire davantage et indiqué qu'il annoncera une "grande refonte" du SNU, mais pas de service militaire obligatoire qui "n'est pas une option réaliste", ni "un schéma opérant". Nos journalistes sont allés à la rencontre des jeunes français qui décident de s'engager dans l'armée et qui sont actuellement en formation militaire.Pendant ce temps, en Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky a remplacé le chef de l'état-major des forces ukrainiennes, Anatoly Barguylevytch, par Andriï Gnatov, alors que l'armée russe continue de gagner du terrain dans la région de Koursk. Kiev comptait utiliser le contrôle de ce territoire frontalier russe comme monnaie d'échange lors de possibles négociations avec Moscou. Le président ukrainien a également désigné ce week-end une équipe de négociateurs pour de possibles pourparlers de paix, tout en affirmant ne pas faire confiance à la Russie pour l'appliquer eu égard au passé. Dans le pays, tout le monde a encore en tête le mémorandum de Budapest, censé garantir l'intégrité de l'Ukraine. Signé en 1994, cet accord diplomatique engage les États-Unis, le Royaume-Uni et la Russie à respecter l'indépendance de l'Ukraine, en échange du retrait de l'arme atomique de son territoire. Troisième puissance nucléaire mondiale à l'époque, l'Ukraine a accepté de transférer à Moscou l'armement nucléaire soviétique en sa possession. Une décision qu'elle regrette désormais amèrement.Les experts :- GÉNÉRAL JEAN-PAUL PALOMÉROS - Ancien chef d'état-major, ancien commandant suprême de la transformation de l'OTAN- GALLAGHER FENWICK - Editorialiste, auteur de Volodymyr Zelensky : l'Ukraine dans le sang- MELISSA BELL - Journaliste - Correspondante à Paris pour CNN - CLARA MARCHAUD - Correspondante en Ukraine

Daria Khrystenko fled her home in Kyiv on the day that Russia invaded Ukraine 3 years ago. She, her then 10 year old son, her mum and her 3 cats travelled to Poland where Daria now works with CARE Poland, as a translator and advocate, helping other refugee women rebuild their lives.Daria told me about the day the war broke out, and how she packed and left home in 20 minutes. She explained how she tries to create a new stability for her family in Poland and how she longs for fair peace in Ukraine.Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.

Houthis vow to attack US warships, carriers "Yemen's Houthi leader Abdul Malik al Houthi vowed to intensify attacks in response to US military operations, warning that drones and missiles will target American warships and aircraft carriers. Speaking in a video statement, al Houthi declared they would respond to escalation with escalation and accused the US of turning the sea into a battlefield. He also said that the US would now be included in the Houthi-imposed naval blockade, alongside Israel, as long as its aggression persists." Armenian forces attack Azerbaijani troops: Baku "Azerbaijan on Sunday said that its military positions were fired upon by Armenian forces in three separate incidents along the border. The Defence Ministry reported gunfire from Armenian troops near the Khazinevar, Burun and Digh settlements. Armenia has denied the claims. The renewed friction comes just days after both nations announced progress on a draft peace deal aimed at ending decades of conflict." Russia seeks 'ironclad' guarantees in Ukraine war "Moscow is demanding ""ironclad"" guarantees in Ukraine peace talks, insisting on Kiev's neutrality and exclusion from NATO. This comes as Washington pushes for a 30-day ceasefire, with talks expected between the US and Russian presidents this week. Separately, Ukraine's military leadership sees a shake-up with the appointment of Major General Andrii Hnatov as the new chief of General Staff, aiming to bolster operational efficiency." Deadly suicide attack strikes Pakistan military forces "A vehicle-borne suicide bomber targeted a military convoy in southwest Pakistan, killing at least five, including three Frontier Corps troops and wounding over 43 others, according to officials. Security forces suspect the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) is behind the bombing. Three suspected terrorists were killed in the security operation in the volatile district of Noshki in Balochistan after the attack, the Pakistani military said. Authorities fear the death toll may rise as several victims remain in critical condition. The attack followed Pakistan's recent anti-terror operation against the BLA, which killed dozens of terrorists after a deadly train hijacking ambush." Netanyahu moves to dismiss Shin Bet chief over Hamas attack fallout "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to propose the dismissal of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar to the government, citing a ""lack of trust."" The decision follows tensions over an internal investigation into the agency's failure to foresee Hamas's October 7 attack. While Shin Bet admitted lapses, it also pointed to Netanyahu's policies as a contributing factor. The dismissal is poised to stir significant controversy within Israel."

8/8:  FOR KYIV 2025, AS FOR TOKYO 1945, NEGOTIATION IS MORE PERILOUS THAN WAR-FIGHTING: Road to Surrender: Three Men and the Countdown to the End of World War II by  Evan Thomas  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Road-Surrender-Three-Countdown-World/dp/0399589252 1941 PEARL HARBOR BURNING At 9:20 a.m. on the morning of May 30, General Groves receives a message to report to the office of the secretary of war “at once.” Stimson is waiting for him. He wants to know: has Groves selected the targets yet? So begins this suspenseful, impeccably researched history that draws on new access to diaries to tell the story of three men who were intimately involved with America's decision to drop the atomic bomb—and Japan's decision to surrender. They are Henry Stimson, the American Secretary of War, who had overall responsibility for decisions about the atom bomb; Gen. Carl “Tooey” Spaatz, head of strategic bombing in the Pacific, who supervised the planes that dropped the bombs; and Japanese Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo, the only one in Emperor Hirohito's Supreme War Council who believed even before the bombs were dropped that Japan should surrender. Henry Stimson had served in the administrations of five presidents, but as the U.S. nuclear program progressed, he found himself tasked with the unimaginable decision of determining whether to deploy the bomb. The new president, Harry S. Truman, thus far a peripheral figure in the momentous decision, accepted Stimson's recommendation to drop the bomb. Army Air Force Commander Gen. Spaatz ordered the planes to take off. Like Stimson, Spaatz agonized over the command even as he recognized it would end the war. After the bombs were dropped, Foreign Minister Togo was finally able to convince the emperor to surrender. To bring these critical events to vivid life, bestselling author Evan Thomas draws on the diaries of Stimson, Togo and Spaatz, contemplating the immense weight of their historic decision. In Road to Surrender, an immersive, surprising, moving account, Thomas lays out the behind-the-scenes thoughts, feelings, motivations, and decision-making of three people who changed history.

This event was part of our Age of the Strongman series. Click here to see the other events in the series: https://www.intelligencesquared.com/the-age-of-the-strongman/. ---- War in Ukraine. Interference in democratic elections. The sponsorship of extremist politics to destabilise Europe. In recent years, Vladimir Putin has waged a relentless campaign to expand his influence beyond Russia's borders and to undermine Western democracy. But how did he come to have such control over Russia – and what is it that he really wants? In March 2025 Catherine Belton, acclaimed journalist and author of the bestselling book Putin's People: How the KGB Took Back Russia and Then Took on the West joined us live from Kyiv for this installment of our series, The Age of the Strongman. Drawing on years of investigative reporting, Belton revealed how Putin's rise was orchestrated by a network of former KGB officers and oligarchs who used economic power, fear and corruption to install him in the Kremlin. She explored how this model of governance and ‘strongman leadership' has been exported globally and what the consequences continue to be for us all.  The event was chaired by Gideon Rachman, Chief Foreign Affairs Commentator for the Financial Times. ----- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.
