Veliko ljudskih pravljic pripoveduje o nesrečnih ljudeh, ki ne morejo imeti otrok. In v strašni želji imeti sina ali hčerko, najdejo nadomestilo, navadno je to majhno bitje, ki pa je kljub majhnosti uspešno, dobro, prijazno in izpolni pričakovanja staršev. Tudi ta ukrajinska pravljica pripoveduje o takem dečku, ki je osrečil svojo mamo in očeta.Vir: Ukrajinske pravljice, prevedla Vera Brnčič, Mladinska knjiga, Ljubljana, 1953, bere Nataša Holy

Andersena Režiserka:Yulia Kristoforova Dramaturg:Benjamin Zajc Igrajo:Voranc Boh, Asja Kahrimanović, Polonca Kores, Matevž Müller, Nika Manevski k. g. Skladatelj:Vasko Atanasovski Scenografka:Vasilija Fišer Kostumografka:Urška Grahovac V Lutkovnem gledališču Ljubljana so sinoči letošnjo gledališko sezono odprli s premiero dramatiziranih motivov Andersenove Snežne kraljice, z bajko o ljubezni, ki je nastala po besedilni predlogi Saše Eržen. Predstavo, ki jo je režirala Yulija Kristoforova, v glavnih vlogah pa sta zaigrala Nika Manevski in Voranc Boh, si je ogledala Magda Tušar:

Začelo se je novo šolsko leto, ki lahko nekaterim prinese tudi kakšno težavo. Branje ne bo steklo in bo počasno, menjavali in izpuščali bodo črke, ustno se bodo lažje izražali kot pisno, pri matematiki bodo težave zaradi besedilnih nalog in pri pomnjenju poštevanke. Opisane težave se lahko pojavljajo, ko ima otrok disleksijo. O tem in tudi o preostalih posebnih učnih težavah z gostom dr. Markom Kalanom, profesorjem defektologije, iz Svetovalnega centra za otroke, mladostnike in starše Ljubljana.

Napovedujemo nocojšnje dogajanje na 73. festivalu Ljubljana: v Križankah bo znova zaživel muzikal, ki že vrsto let polni dvorane po vsem svetu, Nesrečniki, ki ga je navdihnil roman Victorja Hugoja iz leta 1862. Obiskali smo Galerijo Photon, kjer so sinoči v sodelovanju s poljskim veleposlaništvom v Sloveniji odprli razstavo Oči vojne, ki dokumentira vojno v Ukrajini od njenega začetka leta 2022, in Galerijo Kresija, kjer predstavljajo nova dela Joni Zakonjšek.

Nocoj bo na odru Gallusove dvorane Cankarjevega doma v sklopu 73. festivala Ljubljana zazvenela koncertna izvedba Puccinijeve opere Tosca. Izbor arij in duetov bodo izvedli sopranistka Sondra Radvanovski, tenorist Freddie De Tommaso in baritonist sir Bryn Terfel ter zbor in orkester mariborske opere. Sinoči pa se je v cerkvi svetega Jurija na Taboru na Baču pri Materiji začel cikel dvajsetih koncertov Jesenske serenade, ki ga pripravlja Glasbena mladina ljubljanska. Letošnja edicija festivala je edinstvena, celo zgodovinska.

Koliko živali domuje v Živalskem vrtu Ljubljana, katere živali veljajo za najbolj nevarne pa tudi, katera je bila največkrat mama? Male in velike skrivnosti nam bo razkrila kuratorka Špela Štrus, ki pozna zgodbe prav vsakega prebivalca vrta. Foto: Špela Štrus in Irena Furlan, Živalski vrt Ljubljana

Zvezda dneva je slonica Ganga, ki praznuje letos 50 let. Skupaj z njo pa je letos pozornost usmerjena v številne druge prebivalce Živalskega vrta Ljubljana, ki tako kot Ganga izvorno prihajajo iz Azije, kot so denimo azijski levi, svinjski jeleni, v naravi izumrli indokitajski sika jeleni, sibirski tigri, zlatolični giboni in indijski ježevci. Posebne dobrodošlice pa sta deležna najnovejša prebivalca Živalskega vrta grivasta volka iz južne Amerike.Kakšna je danes vloga živalskih vrtov tako pri ohranjanju ogroženih vrst kot pri izobraževanju javnosti ter kako velike spremembe se obetajo v ljubljanskem, je predstavila direktorica Barbara Mihelič.

Čeprav se danes v živalskem vrtu vse vrti okoli naše slavljenke Gange, njen rojstni dan nosi tudi širše sporočilo. Praznovanje življenja ene živali je pravzaprav tudi opomnik, kako pomembno je ohranjati življenje vseh vrst – od najmanjše žuželke do največjega sesalca. Kaj pomeni biotska pestrost, zakaj so nekatere vrste v Aziji in tudi pri nas ogrožene ter kako prav živalski vrt prispeva k njihovemu varovanju, bo povedala Irena Furlan, biologinja in pedagoška vodja v živalskem vrtu Ljubljana.

Kaj se dogaja na posebnem dnevu v Živalskem vrtu Ljubljana, ko so v ospredju živali iz Azije in še zlasti slonica Ganga, ki letos praznuje 50 let? Obeta se nam predstavitev novega prebivalca, veliko glasbe, zanimivih naravovarstvenih delavnic, plesa in sladic. Ekipo Prvega pa zanima tudi zakulisje: kakšna je kuhinja živalskega vrta in kakšne prehranske posebnosti morajo za 130 živalskih vrst pripravljati tamkajšnji nutricionisti? To nam razkriva vodja kuhinje za živali Saša Purkart.

Na celjskem Starem gradu so sinoči pripravili Veronikin večer poezije in glasbe, na katerem so razglasili letošnjo nagrajenko. To je postala Natalija Milovanović s pesniško zbirko Tuja mehkoba. Ob 150 letnici odkritja kolišč na Ljubljanskem barju so v Mestnem muzeju Ljubljana sinoči predvajali prvi del radijske igre Bobri v režiji Jožeta Valentiča po romanu Janeza Jalna. Življenje najstarejših prebivalcev tega prostora pa je predstavila kustosinja za prazgodovino v muzeju Irena Šinkovec.

V Zavetišču Ljubljana so lansko leto začeli z akcijo »Js bi šou domou«. Gre za vzgojne programe za pse, ki imajo vedenjske težave. Akcija je bila že do zdaj zelo uspešna, saj so v zavetišču doslej oddali 13 psov iz dolgotrajne oskrbe, 13 zahtevnejših psov pa so oddali tudi v sodelovanju s Kinološkim društvom Ljubljana. V zavetišču poudarjajo, da imajo psi vzgojne težave, predvsem zaradi svoje težke preteklosti, vendar pa nad njimi ne smemo obupati. Tudi takšni psi si zaslužijo nov dom in boljšo prihodnost. Zavetišče je obiskala Lucija Vidergar. Bere Darja Groznik.

V Ljubljano se vračata svetovno znana operna pevca Ana Netrebko in Jusif Ejvázov. V okviru Festivala Ljubljana bosta nastopila v Gallusovi dvorani Cankarjevega doma. Koncertni program sestavljajo najlepše arije iz oper Giacoma Puccinija, ki slovijo po intenzivnih čustvih in dramatičnih zgodbah. Te dni je v Ljubljani tudi palestinska kustosinja in pisateljica Rana Anani. Kot predavateljica sodeluje na Mednarodni poletni šoli, ki jo organizirajo Moderna galerija, Muzej afriške umetnosti iz Beograda in Muzej sodobne umetnosti Črne gore iz Podgorice. Udeleženci raziskujejo dediščino jugoslovanskega socializma, solidarnostne delovne akcije, antifašistične spomenike in kulturne povezave gibanja neuvrščenih.

Še nekateri vsebinski poudarki oddaje: - Udeleženci paraolimpijskih taborov dokazujejo, da za šport ni ovir. - Bled je kljub turistični obremenitvi lahko za zgled v prizadevanjih za zmanjšanje količine odpadkov. - Čeprav v Zagorju ob Savi ne rudarijo več, pa vsako leto opravijo star rudarski običaj "skok čez kožo". - Novo plezališče Orlovska stena je velika - tudi turistična - pridobitev za občino Osilnica.

Der Sommer neigt sich bereits dem Ende zu, und Lukas hat Isabel mit einem ganz besonderen Konzert überrascht – einer Band, die die beiden seit vielen Jahren begleitet und bis zum Schluss eine echte Überraschung blieb. Einmal mehr ist Lukas fasziniert davon, wie Musik und Kunst „den Alltag und das Arbeiten“ transzendieren, während Isabel sich darüber freut, nach langer Zeit wieder nach Ljubljana zurückzukehren. Nach diesem besonderen Konzertabend reflektieren die beiden in dieser Folge über die Qualität des Destination-Marketings der Stadt Klagenfurt, Lukas' Begegnung mit einem der besten Radfahrer Österreichs und darüber, warum das Thema Tod in unserer Gesellschaft zunehmend in den Hintergrund rückt.

Zelo podobno temo smo slišali že vsaj dvakrat. Tudi za to pravljico je značilno, da si jo pripovedujejo različni narodi. Vrag je sicer težaven in hudoben, kot vrag mora biti pa vendar ga je prebrisana najmlajša pretentala tako, da se ga je družina znebila za vedno.

Tokrat smo se bomo posvetili poletnemu branju – spregovorili smo o tem, kaj radi beremo, kako izbiramo knjige za dopust in koliko Slovenci sploh beremo v vročih mesecih in sicer. Naša gostja je bila Ana Zdravje, knjižničarka iz Mestne knjižnice Ljubljana, ki je z nami delila tudi aktualne bralne trende ter vpogled v to, kako se bralne navade spreminjajo.

V davnih, prastarih časih je živel kralj, ki je bil sicer bogat, otrok pa ni imel. Sleherni dan sta s kraljico prosila, da bi se jima rodil sin. Končno se je njuna želja izpolnila. Kraljica je že vsak hip čakala otročička, ko se je kralju sanjalo, da se mu bo zares rodil sin, toda njegov krstni boter naj bo tisti, ki ga bo tojutro prvega zagledal na cesti. Koga je zagledal in kako je ta boter vplival na življenje komaj rojenega fanta, izvemo v slovaški pravljici.Vir: Zlata ptica, zbirka njlepših pravljic in pripovedk Slovaške pravljice, druga knjiga, zbral Pavol Dobšinsky, Mladinska knjiga, Ljubljana, bere Nataša Holy

In our final bonus episode on Jože Plečnik, we discussed a few more of his projects, including 'Many Houses under One Roof', a unique unbuilt proposal for mass housing in post-war Ljubljana which imagined a huge colonnaded structure under which houses could be built in heterogenous harmony. We also discussed a pair of pavilions built for a convent in the countryside near Bled in northern Slovenia. The pavilions represent Plečnik's unique interpretations of the 'Primitive Hut' as an architectural form. Lastly, we discussed Plečnik's own house in Ljubljana and reflected on his legacy as one of the most idiosyncratic and surprising architects of the 20th century. Edited by Matthew Lloyd Roberts.

Po navedbah ameriškega predsednika Donalda Trumpa se Izrael strinja s pogoji dogovora o 60-dnevni prekinitvi ognja v Gazi. V tem času bi poskušali s Hamasom doseči dogovor o končanju vojne v palestinski enklavi. Tam so razmere kritične. Človekoljubne organizacije opozarjajo na povsem neprimeren način razdeljevanja pomoči prebivalcem. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - Ameriški senat sprejel proračun z davčnimi olajšavami za bogate in ukinitvijo zdravstvenega zavarovanja revnim. - Ob vročini smo zaradi uporabe klimatskih naprav še bolj odvisni od oskrbe z elektriko. - V Križankah se začenja 66-ti Jazz festivala Ljubljana.

//The Wire//2300Z June 27, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: SCOTUS SIDES WITH TRUMP ON LOWER COURTS ISSUING BLANKET RULINGS. PROTESTS IN EUROPE CONTINUE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: Various demonstrations and protests continue as usual. In Poland, demonstrations were conducted today regarding the migrant crisis, with Poles expressing dissatisfaction with the deportation of migrants to their country.Yesterday a small protest was reported in Ljubljana, Slovenia, following the NATO summit this week. This summit largely did not discuss much of any importance, with the exception of again urging member states to pledge 5% of their defense budget to NATO's collective defense. AC: Demonstrations in eastern European nations often end up being a good barometer for gauging how the east/west dynamic is developing. This time, Slovenians protested against NATO and the United States for a variety of reasons, but mostly due to the recent activities in the Middle East.Middle East: Tensions in Gaza have increased following a report from Israeli media claiming that IDF soldiers were ordered to target civilians seeking food aid. In the report, interviewed IDF soldiers explained the long-standing practices regarding the targeting of civilians, such as the practice of shooting civilians "who appeared to pose no threat".AC: The Israeli Military Advocate General has also ordered an internal investigation into these targeting efforts, and several nations have issued statements of condemnation regarding this practice. These reports come after months of complaints from international aid groups being kinetically targeted throughout the region.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - This morning the US Supreme Court issued a few rulings of note. SCOTUS ruled in favor of President Trump concerning his lawsuit to prevent activist judges from exceeding their jurisdictions to issue rulings more broad than the initial scope of the initial lawsuit. In effect, this means that President Trump's executive order to ban birthright citizenship for illegals and for those on temporary visas is in effect.Similarly, this morning the White House announced that they will be terminating the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of roughly 500,000 Haitian nationals, continuing the efforts from a few months ago to halt/slow immigration from Haiti under humanitarian programs.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The SCOTUS did not address the merits of Trump's birthright citizenship Executive Order itself; this judgement only re-affirmed the long-standing policy of preventing judges from issuing judgements outside their jurisdiction. However, the follow-on effects of this judgement will be interesting to follow as this affects a few hot-button issues that is currently at the heart of American discourse (most notably immigration-related issues).Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Združene države Amerike so se vključile v izraelsko-iranski konflikt. S svojimi bombniki so napadle tri iranske jedrske objekte. Ameriški predsednik Donald Trump je svetu sporočil, da so bili napadi spektakularen vojaški uspeh, ob tem pa poudaril, da bodo natančno, hitro in spretno nadaljevali napade, če se Iran ne bo odločil za mir. Teheran grozi s posledicami. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - Premier Golob od unije pričakuje prekinitev pridružitvenega sporazuma z Izraelom - Kakšne ukrepe sprejema Ljubljana za izboljšanje kakovosti zraka? - Poletna muzejska noč v kulturne ustanove po državi privabila mnogo obiskovalcev

Two women in Iceland and Bolivia talk to Ella Al-Shamahi about creating female-centred walking tours that help people get to know the cities of Reykjavík and La Paz. Tinna Eik Rakelardóttir from Iceland says that the urban planning of her country's capital doesn't necessarily reflect its progressive values. Inspired by a tour she took in Ljubljana in Slovenia, Tinna combined her expertise in anthropology and business development to launch the Reykjavík Feminist Walking Tour. The walk highlights 200 years of the nation's drive for gender equality as well as the experience of being a woman in contemporary Icelandic society. Emma Rada Villarroel is a Bolivian feminist communicator of indigenous heritage and one of the co-founders of La Paz: The Feminist Tour. The tour explores the historic and ongoing struggles of the women of the city. Weaving her way through the streets of the highest city in the world, Emma shares stories about what's it's like to live in La Paz today as a student, an immigrant, a mother or merchant whilst also spotlighting the powerful women who have contributed to the city's history.Produced by Hannah Dean(Image: (L) Emma Rada Villarroel courtesy Emma Rada Villarroel.

Zdravo. V epizodi, v kateri ugotovimo, kaj dejansko pomeni izraz “ni politične volje”, vam povemo tudi, v katere kriptovalute morate vlagati. Več na hvalazavseribe.si! Nato se z javnim prevozom pripeljemo do debate o digitalnih nomadih in se sprašujemo, ali naj Ljubljana postane raj zane ali ostane kavč republika terasastih in ostalih blokov. Tudi o nadaljevanju bitke med Boverikom in Thorom. Bovči preživi drugi udarec, Trillian potrebuje oživljanje, Artur pa presenetljivo prevzame očetovsko vlogo. Vmes obdelamo še vse tegobe, ki jih ima Thor. Za boga 1. kategorije bi lahko rekli, da je zelo zmeden in nesiguren. Ali se vsaj zdi tako.

Jerneja) Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord, Prague (Kostel Nejsvětějšího Srdce Páně) Church of St. Francis of Assisi, Ljubljana (Župnijska cerkev Frančiška Asiškega) Church of the Ascension, Bogojina (Cerkev Gospodovega vnebohoda) Watch this episode on YouTube to follow along with the images: https://youtu.be/szuyRFu0wis Edited by Matthew Lloyd Roberts.
