Podcasts about Lesbos

Lesbos wurde 2015 zu einem der wichtigsten Ankunftsorte für Flüchtlinge auf dem Weg nach Europa. Heute versucht sich die griechische Insel neu zu erfinden und als touristisches Ziel zu behaupten. Nicht alle sehen diese Entwicklung positiv. Anja Troelenberg, Isabella Kolar www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Weltzeit

Pieter Wittenberg overleed op 13 maart 2026. In februari 2022 sprak ik hem over zijn werk als hulpverlener op het Griekse eiland Lesbos. Vanwege die activiteiten werd hij door  Griekenland aangeklaagd, in januari van dit jaar werd hij daarvoor vrijgesproken.  'Het is niet klaar, het is niet gedaan. Het leed gaat verder en je hebt erbij gestaan.' 

No episódio de estreia de Beijos Poéticos, Leonor Costa (Nonô) celebra o Dia Mundial da Poesia. Uma viagem que começa na Grécia Antiga com Safo de Lesbos e passa pelo seu primeiro poema publicado em 2015. Termina com uma fusão inovadora entre poesia e Inteligência Artificial. Um encontro quinzenal (às sextas, 13h13) para quem faz da palavra o seu universo.

Le Parlement européen a adopté deux textes phares du Pacte asile et migration ce mardi (10 février 2026), suite à une alliance de la droite et de l'extrême-droite. Ils ont pour objectif de faciliter et d'accélérer le renvoi des migrants, originaires de pays définis comme « pays sûrs », qui ne peuvent prétendre à une protection humanitaire. Pendant ces procédures de renvoi, qui n'aboutissent que dans 24% des cas en moyenne, les migrants sont placés en centres de rétention. La sociologue Louise Tassin a eu accès à ces lieux dans plusieurs pays européens.   Migrations  En Méditerranée, depuis quelques jours, plusieurs ONG d'aide aux migrants alertent sur la disparition de près d'un millier de personnes qui ont tenté de traverser la mer depuis les côtes tunisiennes jusqu'aux côtes italiennes pendant le passage du cyclone Harry. Au moins huit embarcations signalées depuis Sfax n'ont plus donné aucune nouvelle depuis trois semaines. Car en Méditerranée centrale, les traversées sont un phénomène constant et continu, été comme hiver, en dépit des annonces politiques qui promettent des frontières hermétiques ou presque. Reportage sur les côtes du sud-ouest de la Sardaigne avec l'une de nos correspondantes, Cécile Debarge. La rétention des migrants en situation irrégulière, c'est l'objet d'un livre qui sort jeudi (12 février 2026) aux éditions La Découverte. Au cœur des centres de rétention.  Entretien avec Louise Tassin, auteure de Comme on les enferme. Dans les centres de rétention de Paris à Lampedusa, qui parait aux éditions La Découverte, le 12 février 2026.   Sociologue, chercheuse à l'Université Paris I Panthéon Sorbonne, Louise Tassin a passé plusieurs mois dans différents centres de rétention, dans le cadre de ses recherches de thèse, en région parisienne, en Italie à Lampedusa et en Grèce à Lesbos. Elle documente de façon détaillée le fonctionnement de ces lieux, le rôle essentiel des prestataires privés, dont les employés ont souvent des parcours proches de ceux des migrants « retenus », le sentiment pour ces derniers d'être considérés comme des criminels.      Big bang social en Belgique Depuis le 1er janvier 2026, un big-bang social secoue la Belgique. En cause, la réforme de l'assurance chômage. D'ici l'été, environ 200.000 personnes vont perdre leur droit à indemnisation et une bonne partie d'entre elles risque de se retrouver sans ressources. Les services sociaux du pays croulent sous les dossiers à traiter.

In a case with profound implications for European migration policy, two dozen former volunteer humanitarian workers have been on trial on the Greek island of Lesbos. Seven years ago, they were arrested after rescuing thousands of migrants from the sea. Now, following many delays, a court case involving charges of facilitating illegal entry of foreigners, membership of a criminal organisation and money laundering has finally gone ahead. Among the defendants facing a possible 20 years in jail have been the Syrian refugee and former competitive swimmer Sara Mardini - and Irish human rights activist and lawyer Sean Binder. They've denied the charges - and argued that the prosecution was an attempt by the Greek authorities to criminalise help to asylum seekers.Tim Whewell reports on the trial and its outcome - and on the consequences for Lesbos. Back in 2015, when as many as 800,000 migrants arrived on the island after crossing the narrow strait from Turkey, local people were proud of their efforts to rescue and support refugees. But later, attitudes towards migrants changed. And NGOs stopped their rescue work - for fear more aid workers might be prosecuted. Now, far fewer migrants attempt the crossing to Greece. But those who do sometimes die in shipwrecks. And there are allegations, denied by Greece, that its police are illegally pushing asylum seekers back - putting them back on boats and abandoning them at sea.What will the verdicts in this trial mean for Greece, for other European states that have been tightening their immigration policies - and for the defendants whose lives have been on hold for the last seven years?This episode of The Documentary comes to you from Assignment, investigations and journeys into the heart of global events.

In a case with profound implications for European migration policy, 24 former volunteer aid workers have been on trial on the Greek island of Lesbos. Seven years ago, they were arrested after rescuing thousands of migrants from the sea. Now, after many delays, the case involving charges of facilitating illegal entry of foreigners, membership of a criminal organisation and money laundering has gone ahead. Among the defendants facing a possible 20 years in jail have been the Syrian refugee and former competitive swimmer Sara Mardini - and Irish human rights activist and lawyer Sean Binder. They've denied the charges - and said the prosecution was an attempt by the Greek authorities to criminalise help to asylum seekers. Tim Whewell reports on the trial, its outcome - and the consequences for Lesbos. In in 2015, when about 600,000 migrants arrived on the island after crossing the narrow strait from Turkey. In 2015, local people were proud of their efforts to rescue and support refugees. But later, attitudes changed. And NGOs stopped their rescue work - for fear more aid workers might be prosecuted. Now, far fewer migrants attempt the crossing to Greece. But those who do sometimes die in shipwrecks. And there are allegations, denied by Greece, that its police are illegally pushing asylum seekers back - putting them back on boats and abandoning them at sea. What will the verdicts in this trial mean for Greece, for other European states that have been tightening their immigration policies - and for the defendants whose lives have been on hold for the last seven years?Producer/presenter: Tim Whewell.

Kate Adie introduces stories from Greenland, Colombia and Greece.President Trump has said the US needs to 'own' Greenland, to prevent Russia and China from taking it. Katya Adler has been in the capital Nuuk, speaks to Inuit women about the island's painful history of colonisation - and its now uncertain future.Colombia has also been attracting attention from Mr Trump, following the recent US operation in Venezuela. This schism is out of step with decades of US foreign policy, but an on-going war of words between Colombia's president, Gustavo Petro, and the US President on issues from migration to US strikes on fishing boats in the Caribbean, has put a strain on the relationship. Ione Wells report from Bogota.A hot-button issue for Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is the problem of over-tourism. Visitor numbers have rocketed in recent years, leading to a rise in the tourist tax. But it's not a problem being felt everywhere in the country. James Innes-Smith travelled to one prefecture where efforts to bring tourists back have fallen flat.And finally, a landmark court case came to a close in Greece this week, in which a group of aid workers were put on trial after rescuing migrants from the Mediterranean. The 24 former volunteers have faced a range of charges, including human trafficking, money laundering, and facilitating the illegal entry of foreigners into Greece. Tim Whewell travelled to Lesbos, where he discovered how the migrant crisis that began in 2015 has shaped an entire community.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Production Coordinators: Katie Morrison and Jack Young Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

SAPPHO OF LESBOS Colleague Daisy Dunn. Dunn explores the life of Sappho, debunking myths about her appearance and suicide. She explains that Sappho was exiled due to her family's aristocratic background during a time of political revolution. The conversation covers Sappho's disapproval of her brother's relationship with the courtesan Doricha and her professional jealousy when students left her school for rivals. Weaving is presented as a metaphor for women shaping fate. NUMBER 10 896 SAPPHO AND HER SCHOOL

For more than a decade, the Greek island of Lesbos has been a symbol of Europe's migration crisis. Located close to Turkey, the island was a major entry point to the European Union back in 2015. But since then, arrivals have sharply decreased as Europe has tightened its border controls and outsourced part of its migration policy. Mortaza Behboudi reports from Lesbos, where refugees have often suffered a traumatic journey.

An die Ränder gehen. Nach diesem Leitwort von Papst Franziskus richtet sich Diakon Günther Jäger (im Bild links) aus dem Pfarrverband Feichten immer dann, wenn er wieder nach Lesbos aufbricht. Er packt dort im Flüchtlingslager mit an und unterstützt die Menschen vor Ort, wo er kann. Erst im Dezember war er wieder auf Lesbos, zusammen mit Pfarrer Michael Witti aus dem Pfarrverband Feichten.

Zij is in Nederland maar haar zoon Don wil ons wel ontvangen. Ook bellen we met Ingrid. Wat voor Lesbos is het Lesbos van Ingrid? En hoe kijkt zij terug op haar deelname en hoe ze is weggezet.

Ook spreken we operazangeres Francis van Broekhuizen. Zij is op Lesbos om op te treden. Wat betekent Lesbos voor haar als Lesbische vrouw? En tot slot stuiten we op twee vrouwen die in beeld kwamen in B&B Vol Liefde tijdens het beruchte ‘potten spotten fragment’. Zij vertellen dat ze hier helemaal niet blij mee waren.

WIVES OF THE ROMANS: 1/8: The Missing Thread: A Women's History of the Ancient World Hardcover – July 30, 2024 by  Daisy Dunn  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Missing-Thread-Womens-History-Ancient/dp/0593299663 Around four thousand years ago, the mysterious Minoans sculpted statues of topless women with snakes slithering on their arms. Over one thousand years later, Sappho wrote great poems of longing and desire. For classicist Daisy Dunn, these women—whether they were simply sitting at their looms at home or participating in the highest echelons of power—were up to something much more interesting than other histories would lead us to believe. Together, these women helped to make antiquity as we know it. In this monumental work, Dunn reconceives our understanding of the ancient world by emphasizing women's roles within it. The Missing Thread never relegates women to the sidelines and is populated with well-known names such as Cleopatra and Agrippina, as well as the likes of Achaemenid consort Atossa and Olympias, a force in Macedon. Spanning three thousand years, the story moves from Minoan Crete to Mycenaean Greece, from Lesbos to Asia Minor, from the Persian Empire to the royal court of Macedonia, and concludes with Rome and its growing empire. The women of antiquity are undeniably woven throughout the fabric of history, and in The Missing Thread they finally take center stage. 1593 ROMAN WOMEN
