Clint Boon was at the heart of “the two biggest musical revolutions of my lifetime” – as a teenager for Joy Division and Buzzcocks, and later the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and Hacienda and onstage with Inspiral Carpets, a world of characters as big as his own. His memoir ‘The Manchester Chronicles' is about obsessions, schoolteachers, purple winklepickers, mobile discos, good luck, catastrophe and being in the right place at the right time for 30 years. Along with … … why Manchester listens to music so intently: “we're stuck inside while it rains” … auditioning Noel Gallagher “as the Lockerbie plane flew directly overhead” … the new economy: making a Number 2 album funded by t-shirt and cassette sales … growing up on Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Little Richard and Gary Lewis & the Playboys … Inspiral Carpets' obsession with West Coast psychedelia … when the band all got houses with their Mute advance “and I just bought some $800 sunglasses” … great bowl-heads haircuts (Stones, Byrds, Jefferson Airplane) and why he got one too … seeing the Pistols at the Electric Circus: “I left college the next morning” … the sudden split: playing Glastonbury one minute, living on milk tokens and income support the next … his 1975 disco playing Mud, the Rubettes and Showaddywaddy (“I was a 14 year-old Ted”) … and how 24 Hour Party People captured “the spirit, chaos, colour and madness”.

Bu bölümde size beş dizi önermek istedim. Çok sık yapmıyorum ama daha sık yapmayı istiyorum.Gündemi anlamaya dair diziler. IMDB link'lerini aşağıya bırakıyorum:The Undeclared WarSiber savaşa dair bir dizi. İngiltere ve Rusya'nın savaşın kıyısına geldiği bu günlerde tam olarak bu iki ülkenin siber savaşını anlatıyor.PatriaAyrılıkçı ve silahlı Bask örgütü ETA'yla İspanya'nın çatışmalı tarihini aileler üzerinden anlatıyor. Bayıldım. Barışın tartışıldığı bugünlerde mutlaka izlemelisiniz.John AdamsEvet, eski bir dizi ama ben dönüp ikinci kez izledim. Amerika'nın kuruluşunun 250. yılında mutlaka izleyin derim. John Adams'ın hikayesinden çıkarılacak bazı dersleri de bölümde anlattım.The Bombing of Pan Am 103 Lockerbie faciası olarak bilinen bombalı saldırının soruşturma aşaması anlatılıyor. Burada bana ilginç gelen o zamanın kısıtlı teknolojisiyle yapılan soruşturmanın detaycılığı. Yapay zeka tartışılırken insan faktörünün önemini göstermesi bakımından ilginç.The AgencyCasusluk dizilerine sardım bu aralar. Ve size bununla ilgili bir bölüm hazırlamaya başladım bile. Bizim "casus" diye bildiklerimiz aslında casus değil. Bu kadar ipucu vereyim. Fransız "Büro" dizisinden adapte edilen bu dizide istihbarat örgütlerinin çalışma biçimine belki de en yakın uyarlamayı görüyoruz.İyi dinlemeler ve seyirler... :)Yeni kitabım "Petrolün Diyetini Ödeyen İran'ı Anlamak"ı satın alabileceğiniz link'i de paylaşayım.

Tolmačenje na Mednarodnem kazenskem sodišču za vojne zločine na območju nekdanje Jugoslavije v Haagu velja za eno izmed najzahtevnejših ne le jezikovno, ampak tudi psihološko. Priče so opisovale okrutna dejanja, obtoženci so žalili sodišče, eden izmed njih pa je pred sodniki storil celo samomor. Uporabljali so različna bosanska narečja in turcizme, zato se je včasih zgodilo, da noben tolmač ni poznal pravega pomena besede. O intenzivni izkušnji tolmačenja v Haagu smo se pogovarjali z Milojko Popović, častno članico Združenja konferenčnih tolmačev Slovenije. V pogovoru nam je predstavila tudi sodelovanje na škotskem sodišču na Nizozemskem, ki se je ukvarjalo z zadevo Lockerbie. V strmoglavljenju potniškega letala v tej škotski vasi je leta 1988 umrlo vseh 259 oseb v letalu in 11 vaščanov. Za vzrok nesreče so sumili, da je na letalu eksplodirala bomba (ponovitev).
The bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, on December 21, 1988, remains one of the deadliest and most controversial terrorist attacks in modern history. A bomb hidden inside the Boeing 747 exploded at approximately 31,000 feet, killing all 259 people aboard and 11 residents on the ground. What followed was an enormous … Continue reading Episode 523: Lockerbie Disaster – The Bombing of Pan Am Flight 103

La historia de Lockerbie contada desde el expediente
On 21 December 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was flying from London to New York when a bomb exploded on board as the aircraft passed over the Scottish town of Lockerbie.All 259 passengers and crew were killed, along with 11 people on the ground.

Lockerbie: The Mas'ud Confession, the Evidence and the Trial AheadFormer Scottish detectives Tom Wood and Simon McLean examine the case against Abu Agila Mas'ud — and what the US trial could reveal about Pan Am Flight 103.More than three decades after the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, the investigation is once again heading into a courtroom.In this episode, Tom and Simon look ahead to the US prosecution of Abu Agila Mas'ud and discuss one of the most significant recent developments in the case: a federal judge's decision allowing prosecutors to put Mas'ud's alleged 2012 confession before the jury.But a confession alone is not enough. Drawing on their own experience as detectives, Tom and Simon examine how prosecutors will need to build a coherent chain of supporting evidence — and how the defence will attempt to break that chain and create reasonable doubt.They also discuss the extraordinary scale of the original Lockerbie investigation, the international cooperation between police and intelligence agencies, the painstaking recovery and cataloguing of evidence across a vast area, and the challenges of presenting evidence accumulated across almost four decades.The conversation also turns to the continuing controversy surrounding Lockerbie, the conviction of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, the acquittal of Lamin Khalifah Fhimah, and allegations that have been made about the Scottish investigation and judiciary.Tom speaks personally about detectives and senior figures involved in the case whom he knew and worked alongside, and explains why he strongly rejects suggestions that the Scottish investigation or judges were corrupt.As the Mas'ud case develops, Crime Time Inc. intends to keep following the evidence and return to the trial as significant developments emerge.Timestamps00:00 — Cold open: Mas'ud, the alleged confession and the evidential chain00:55 — Lockerbie returns to court nearly four decades later01:14 — Why conspiracy theories grow around major investigations02:25 — Police, intelligence agencies and competing national interests03:41 — The unprecedented international scale of the Lockerbie investigation04:07 — What Tom hopes the new trial will finally establish04:49 — Tom's personal connection to detectives involved in Lockerbie05:29 — The Netflix portrayal and the reality of a huge police inquiry06:00 — Recovering, cataloguing and tracing evidence across hundreds of square miles08:18 — Lockerbie's response to victims' families and the human side of the disaster09:56 — The major development: Mas'ud's alleged 2012 confession can go before the jury10:48 — Confessions, recorded interviews and lessons from detective interviewing11:56 — The enormous volume of evidence facing prosecution and defence13:12 — Why Crime Time Inc. plans to follow the trial closely13:46 — Building the prosecution's evidential chain — and how the defence can break it14:23 — Could the trial produce evidence affecting others connected to the case?15:14 — Megrahi, Fhimah and the previous Lockerbie trial15:50 — Tom strongly defends the integrity of the Scottish judges18:21 — Tom and Simon lighten the mood18:51 — Remembering Lockerbie and the detectives who devoted years to the investigationCrime Time Inc. — Real cases.

Secret documents are recovered from the wreckage of Libyan intelligence agency. Myles Bonnar is given access to copies of secret Libyan files which raise fresh questions about Megrahi and his alleged co-conspirators. These documents have been dubbed the Senussi Files, after Abdullah Senussi – head of intelligence in Libya and Colonel Gaddafi's brother-in-law. The files were found in Tripoli, in the rubble of the Libyan intelligence agency, the JSO (or ESO) destroyed by Nato bombs following the 2011 Arab Spring uprising.

Před Vánoci roku 1988 se na klidné skotské městečko začaly snášet hořící kusy letadla a Lockerbie se tak navždy zapsalo do historie. Na palubě běžného letu z Londýna do New Yorku vybouchla trhavina a o život přišly stovky lidí jak ve vzduchu, tak na zemi. A dnes, po 38 letech stále není celý příběh zcela dopsán.

Diese Woche bei Oscars & Himbeeren:“Wildcat” mit Kate Beckinsale ist ein erstaunlich lustlos zusammengebauter Actionfilm, der wirkt, als hätte jemand sämtliche Versatzstücke zweitklassiger Streamingware in einen Topf geworfen. Die Geschichte ist dünn, die Figuren sind einem herzlich egal und Beckinsale spielt sich mit erstaunlich wenig Ausdruck durch einen Film, der selbst für anspruchsloses Popcornkino wenig zu bieten hat; “Furious” dagegen ist eine dieser Serien, bei denen man plötzlich wieder weiß, warum man Streaming erfunden hat: klug erzählt, hervorragend gespielt und mit genau der richtigen Mischung aus Tempo und Drama; “The Bombing of Pan Am 103” rekonstruiert die Katastrophe von Lockerbie eindringlich und bemerkenswert unaufgeregt und wird gerade dadurch zu einer ebenso erschütternden wie spannenden Serie; und “Once” von 2006 wiederum schaut man nach dem tragischen Unfalltod von Glen Hansard mit anderen Augen. Der Musiker und Schauspieler, der gemeinsam mit Markéta Irglová für “Falling Slowly” den Oscar gewann, starb Ende Juli mit nur 56 Jahren bei einem Motorradunfall in Dublin. Geblieben ist ein wunderbar leiser, melancholischer Film über Musik, Liebe und zwei Menschen, die sich zur richtigen Zeit begegnen, auch wenn diese Zeit nicht für immer ist.Oscars & Himbeeren - wie immer: schonungslos auf den Punkt gebracht.Hört rein!Wenn euch der Podcast gefällt und ihr tiefer einsteigen wollt, findet ihr auf Substack weitere Texte, Porträts und Filmkritiken vonRonny Rüsch – Filmkritiker.

Beth unpacks Netflix's Bombing of Pan Am 103 and lands somewhere nobody expected: what it actually felt like to die in a plane that breaks apart at 31,000 feet, and what happens on the other side. She traces the Lockerbie bombing from the small Scottish town that ran the investigation to the FBI-CIA intel failure that would replay thirteen years later on 9-11, then walks it all the way into heaven.

Auf vielfachen Wunsch und auch aus großem Eigeninteresse sprechen Holger, Michael und Rüdiger in dieser Woche über die neue Disney-Serie "Furious" (5:42) von Elizabeth Meriwether ("The Dropout" / "Dying for Sex"). Schaut man sich internationale Kritiken an, gibt es für den Rachethriller vor allem zwei Vergleiche: einen fiktiven mit "Killing Eve" und einen realen mit dem Fall Jeffrey Epstein. Was, wenn eine missbrauchte Frau nicht auf das Rechtssystem vertrauen, sondern persönlich die übergriffigen Männer zur Rechenschaft ziehen würde? Das Ergebnis können wir nach drei der 8 Folgen noch nicht komplett beurteilen, aber bereits der Auftakt liefert eine treffliche Diskussionsgrundlage. Auch bei der Netflix-Miniserie "The Bombing of Pan Am 103" (28:54) drängt sich ein Vergleich auf, schließlich verfilmte "Lockerbie" vor einigen Monaten bereits den Terroranschlag auf das Passagierflugzeug von 1988. Macht es diese Version besser oder schlechter? Und schließlich will Amazon mit einer Umsonstfolge von "The Westies" (49:18) das Publikum zu seinem Zusatzangebot MGM+ locken. Ist das ein Angebot, das man nicht ablehnen kann? Oder gehört die Serie um eine Gang im New York der 1980er Jahre dorthin, wo Luca Brasi schläft? Bei den Fischen! Cold-Open-Frage: "Wer sollte Amazons Serien-„Robocop“ werden?"
Richard Marquise led the FBI's investigation into the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, one of the deadliest acts of terrorism in modern history and the largest international criminal investigation ever conducted. In this re-air of our conversation, Richard takes us inside the decades-long hunt for answers: the evidence recovered from Scottish fields, the international cooperation the case demanded, and what it meant to carry a promise to 270 victims and their families for nearly forty years. We're revisiting this episode now as Netflix's The Bombing of Pan Am 103 — starring Patrick J. Adams as Richard, premieres globally on July 30th, bringing this story to a new generation. Richard is a retired FBI Special Agent and author of Scotbom: Evidence and the Lockerbie Investigation.

A grieving father is convinced the police investigation into Lockerbie got it wrong. Myles Bonnar speaks with Jim Swire, whose daughter Flora died in the explosion.

Today we're sharing the first episode of Myles' new series in another BBC podcast, Intrigue: Lockerbie.One of the world's longest running conspiracies. Who was really behind the Lockerbie bombing?On 21 December 1988, a plane explodes over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 270 people. A Libyan man, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, is convicted.Despite a global investigation Megrahi's conviction, and the failed appeals that followed, are still tainted - for some - with doubt and conspiracy theory. Myles Bonnar wants to find out why.Now, almost four decades on; fresh evidence and a new trial. The alleged bomb maker Abu Agila Masud is in custody, with a trial expected to begin any day. He denies any involvement in the Lockerbie bombing.Journalist Myles Bonnar (Dead Man Running, Shiny Bob) picks apart the original investigation and finds himself in a world full of militant groups, top secret files and grieving families who will never give up on the pursuit of the truth.This is Episode 1 of Lockerbie - to hear the rest of the series right now, search for ‘Intrigue' on BBC Sounds.Intrigue - 'jaw-dropping', 'gripping', 'bingeable,' 'thrilling' - is the home to dramatic true stories and investigations that reveal how the world really works.
In 1988, Dumfries and Galloway police is the smallest force in the UK: only 310 officers. Now they're dealing with the world's biggest crime scene.Detectives from all over Scotland are bussed into Lockerbie overnight. Within days, American intelligence agents make an appearance. They hole up in Lockerbie Academy, each claiming a classroom.Scottish police are determined to recover every single piece of evidence from the 845-mile crime scene. They bag everything that looks like plane debris before sending it off for forensic evaluation. The investigation rolls on for two years, spanning Germany, Sweden, the UK, and Malta, a small Mediterranean island between Sicily and Libya. That's when they make a series of breakthroughs.Myles Bonnar speaks with investigators in Scotland and in the FBI about a Libyan double agent, dubbed Puzzle Piece. Could he unlock the whole investigation?Lockerbie is produced by Caitlin Smith Additional production by Rob Wilson Sound design by Eloise Whitmore Story consultants are Innes Bowen, Jack Kibble White and Graham Russell Fact checking by Faisal Qureshi Research by Rachael O'Neill and Callum McCulloch-Nowlan Executive Producer: Gillian Wheelan Original development by Sally Greig Lockwood BBC Scotland commissioners: Heather Kane Darling and Victoria Easton-Riley For BBC Radio 4, the commissioning executive is Tracy Williams, and commissioning editor is Dan Clarke.

Myles Bonnar pieces together the original police investigation. He goes back to the night of the explosion; tracking down three sources, each with unique insight into how the police investigation unfolded. From the very early days it's clear confusion and conspiracy are taking hold. Rumours circulate. Why are American special agents on board the flight? Was the plane used to smuggle drugs? Who are those mysterious figures in the woods in Lockerbie? The police investigation narrows in on a Palestinian militant group. But are they the real culprits?

La bomba esplosa sul volo Pan Am il 21 dicembre 1988 fece 270 vittime, di cui undici, a terra, erano abitanti del piccolo villaggio sul quale si schiantarono i resti del velivolo. La verità giudiziaria e storica sull'attentato è ancora insufficiente. Resta la memoria nel luogo dove si intrecciarono lutto e solidarietà.

This week on Crime Time Inc, Simon and Tom mark the last of their general-topic episodes for a few weeks — while they push on to finish their in-depth series on the Zodiac murders — with an episode packed full of Scottish crime, policing, politics, and culture.Simon opens with a warning about "true friendship fraud", the growing phenomenon where criminals cultivate online relationships with vulnerable and elderly people in order to steal their money. With Scotland's older population increasingly targeted through Facebook, WhatsApp and other platforms, Simon and Tom explain the warning signs to look out for. Tom brings his characteristic dry wit to the subject, suggesting that any would-be fraudsters targeting him would leave considerably out of pocket.The political agenda is front and centre this week. Simon highlights new UK legislation cracking down on political donations — including a ban on crypto donations and a £100,000 cap on overseas contributions — ahead of the Scottish Parliament elections on 6 May. Tom draws on his years as Deputy Chief Constable of Lothian and Borders to give a frank insider account of what it takes to police a major election: the pre-planning, the management of rival factions, security at counting centres, the Representation of the People Act, and why rising political temperatures mean this May's vote will be a particularly demanding operation. Both hosts share their frustration at the state of modern political debate, noting that First Minister's Questions has descended into a catalogue of accusations rather than a forum for policy.Glasgow has finally joined the rest of the UK in rolling out police body-worn cameras, and Tom is blunt about why it took so long: Scotland's police capital budget is "lamentably inadequate", representing close to 0% of the Scottish Government's public spending despite policing accounting for roughly 3% of costs. Tom draws a direct line between that chronic underfunding and the £50 million Sheku Bayoh public inquiry — a cost that would have paid for body cameras across the whole of Police Scotland. The hosts also discuss privacy implications and Simon's affectionate memory of "Mr Gadget", a community officer from his days in Govan who wore every piece of kit simultaneously — including body armour he'd acquired himself — until being rendered immobile by the weight of it.Elsewhere, Tom gives his assessment of the Lockerbie bombing trial in New York, where alleged bomb-maker Abu Masud faces charges but legal delays are raising fears that the evidence may never be heard in open court. Tom warns of defence tactics designed to "run the clock round" and expresses hope that the Crown's reported intention to publish all evidence publicly — should the trial collapse — will at least bring some form of truth to the families of the 270 victims. The episode also features the latest instalment of the hosts' regular Scots language segment, with explorations of "wee", "Hogmanay", the "Loony Dook" and the beautiful Scots blessing "Lang may yer lum reek". Finally, Simon trails a forthcoming episode on Scotland's £6 billion annual drug crisis, following a major new Social Market Foundation report.KEY TALKING POINTS------------------• Friendship fraud and befriending scams: how to spot them and protect vulnerable people• New UK rules on political donations: crypto ban and the £100k overseas cap• Policing Scottish elections: behind the scenes with a former Deputy Chief Constable• Why First Minister's Questions has become "yaboo politics"• Glasgow body cameras: why Scotland was years behind — and the true cost of delay• The Sheku Bayoh inquiry: £50m that could have paid for national body cam rollout• Lockerbie trial update: delays, defence tactics and the risk evidence is never heard• Scots Language: "Wee", "Aye", "Hogmanay", "Loony Dook", "Lang may yer lum reek"• Preview: Scotland's £6 billion drug crisisHOSTSAbout Crime Time Inc.Season 5 of Crime Time Inc. broadens its reach across two sides of the Atlantic.This season features cases from Scotland and across the wider UK — rooted in real investigative experience — alongside deep dives into some of the most infamous murder cases in American history.Hosted by former detectives Simon and Tom, with experience in both the UK and the United States, including time working alongside the FBI, the show strips away sensationalism to explain how crime and justice really work.Two crime worlds.

The Intersection of Trump, Iran, and the Moral Limits of War What should Christians think about the U.S. war with Iran, Israel's role in the conflict, and the risk of a wider Middle East war?

They explore whether America's military action against Iran is just, legal, or dangerously reckless, while also addressing Israel, regime change, MAGA foreign policy, and the growing risk of a wider global conflict.

As news reporters, we are in the story-telling business, the eye witnesses to history, writing, it's said, ‘the first draft of history'. The fall of the Berlin Wall. Lockerbie. Hillsborough. Dunblane. Mad Cow disease. 9/11. These are all events that have entered our national, and international, consciousness. Events so momentous that we can all say where we were, what we were doing, when the Berlin Wall fell, or when the planes hit the Twin Towers. Award-winning television news reporter and political correspondent, Glen Oglaza, can say exactly where he was when these events happened. He was there, he had a front-row seat as history unfolded. And in this informative and fascinating account of those years, he allows the reader to be there too. From Thatcher and the miners' strike, to the Gulf War, the Good Friday Agreement and Tony Blair at Number Ten, captivating national and global events are all given an intriguing new inside angle. Glen Oglaza is an award-winning television news reporter and political correspondent with more than twenty-five years' experience with ITN and Sky News. At ITN, he covered many of the biggest stories of the 1980s and 1990s, and was part of the award-winning ITN teams covering the Fall of the Berlin Wall, the plight of the Kurds in the wake of the First Gulf War, and the massacre in Dunblane. He was BAFTA-nominated for his coverage of the London Poll Tax riot. As a political correspondent, he covered the governments of Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron. Glen is also an accomplished poet with several volumes of poetry published these Religion Fake News and Misdemeanors, No Words, always and his latest collection Spam and other poems.

Ruben breekt een lans voor Stichting Hartekind. Tijl tipt de serie Lockerbie: een onderbelichte registratie van een vliegtuigramp waarbij er veel meer aan de hand lijkt dan je op het eerste oog zal zeggen.

This episode tears apart the official narrative of Muammar Gaddafi and exposes the real forces behind his rise and destruction. Far from the “madman” portrayed in Western media, Gaddafi built Africa's highest standard of living, funded free housing, healthcare, and education, engineered the world's largest water project, and moved to liberate Africa from Western banking through a gold-backed dinar. From CIA memos to his explosive 2009 UN speech calling out Big Pharma, from the manufactured Lockerbie case to NATO's 2011 regime-change war, we trace how a sovereign, debt-free nation became a target the moment it threatened the petrodollar, French finance, and global corporate power. In the end, Libya wasn't destroyed because it was weak; it was destroyed because it was becoming too strong, too independent, and too willing to expose the system that runs the world.Email: thefacthunter@mail.comWebsite: https://www.thefacthunter.comSubStack: https://substack.com/@thefacthunter

In our weekly review show, Kirsty Wark is joined by writer and critic Hannah McGill and writer and journalist Alan Taylor to discuss What Can We Know, the latest novel from Booker Prize winning writer Ian McEwan, an epic story set in a largely underwater Britain a hundred years in the future which touches on themes including climate change and great poetry. They also give their verdicts on Frances Poet's Small Acts of Love, a musical theatre production inspired by relationships formed across the Atlantic between victims of the Lockerbie disaster in December 1988. The production - a collaboration between the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow and the National Theatre of Scotland, and with songs by Deacon Blue's Ricky Ross, is the opening production in the newly refurbished 'Citz', a theatre which has played an important role in the city and also in the careers of the likes of Rupert Everett, Glenda Jackson and Miriam Margolyes, and which has just reopened after a major revamp. They also review The Girlfriend, a new psychological thriller from Amazon Prime, which stars Robin Wright as a possessive mother whose life begins to unravel when her son brings home a new partner she suspects is not all she seems. We also bring you the latest in our series of interviews with authors shortlisted for this year's BBC National Short Story Award, Colwill Brown. Presenter: Kirsty Wark Producer: Mark Crossan
